My new Sheaffer Legacy with PR Sherwood Green ink. An amazing combination of velvety smooth nib, wet flowing ink with very pleasing color. I'm just copying post after post about Sheaffer pens just for the pleasure of writing non-stop.

Aldo

Evershark Skyline with Private Reserve Black Cherry to match the maroon barrel. This pen has a nice gold cap and is really elegant looking I think. The nib is very smooth and free flowing. I haven't had it long and am still getting used to its small sac that requires more frequent refills. Best not to leave home without a backup.

But that could never happen.

Good evening from rainy Phoenix.

Today was started with my new Dani Trio Densho, an hour or so with my 805, then a package arrived with two Rotring Cores (i am afraid to take my Dani out of the office.)

The cores are fun. I used one of the blue cartridges that came with the pens with the fine point, and popped in the converter with the medium point, filling it with PR chocolat. Both wrote very well right out of the box.

From last week my new VP -silber/grey lacquer. Finaly a pen that I can rely on .

Good afternoon, everyone

Today I am using my new Montegrappa Miya Argento, in Midnight Blue with an F nib.

It arrived yesterday from Germany, and went straight to number one on my favourites list. It looks and feels glorious, and the writing is so smooth and clean. I have a number of pens, which I have kept despite them not being precisely what I was looking for. Don't ask me what 'it' is, but I knew I found it with the Miya.

Will I buy another pen? Definitely, but not just yet!

This morning I will be using my Sheaffer Legacy 2 in palladium finish with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink, and my Waterman L'Etalon in sterling silver basketweave finish with Waterman Florida Blue ink.

A blue marble Waterman Expert II, filled with Waterman Black.

Well, today I used my Waterman Expert Dune (Pelikan Turquoise) at school and my red Mont Blanc Generation (Pelikan Royal Blue) and my Mont Blanc Meisterstück Legrand Rollerball (black ink) at home. I'm hoping the Generation's ink cartridge will run out soon so I can replace it with Pelikan Brilliant Green.

Good morning Taki, JD, Don & everyone.

I'm back from Ohio where I ran my Waterman#3 out of ink.
I've re-inked it for today with a brown-black mix(Skrip Brown + Quink Black). I don't recommend this mix - it doesn't flow well...

Good morning, Pep, JD, Don, Johnboy and everyone.

I'm using my usual...Sailor Sapporo Mini filled with PR Troprical Blue. I'm carrying it in a COBU gum case along with a spear cart and a small post-it.

Made extensive use of my Parker 51 Flighter both today, yesterday, the day before...In fact, I've been using it almost exclusively for the past week and a half.

I'm back in university now and I needed a smooth, fast writer to take down lecture-notes with. I've been doing so much writing with my Parker 51 it ran out of ink today. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring my bottle of QUINK along. I had it in my laptop bag. Brought it out, unscrewed it, pulled the pen apart & refilled it and went right on writing...

I am using my daily carry now...Omas HT paragon pen and matching roller ball.

Good morning, JD, Pep, Don, and everyone. It's 71F already and another hot day. 40% chance of thunderstorms, and we really need rain.

Sorry this is getting so boring but my Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini F nib, filled with PR Troical Blue again.

Good morning Taki, JD, Pep, Ali, and everyone else. Like Taki's neck of the woods, it's in the low 70Fs now, but today will see some heat. Depending on who you believe, we should be pushing 95F. I just got back from a run, and the humidity's killer!

I'm off work today to take my Mom for an outpatient procedure. I'll spend the better part of my day with a green-stripe Pelikan 400NN with Aurora Black. It used to have Waterman Florida Blue in it, but the flow was not so good. Aurora Black seems to have fixed the problem.

The other pen I have in my case is a Parker "51" cedar blue vacumatic with Sailor Jentle blue. I swapped in a "new" nib since the old one was a little scratchy. This seems to have improved things somewhat. Excellent!

Don

Hello and good morning to the growing list of loggers.
To Taki and Pep who have added me to their friends list and are obviously intelligent and talented, a wink and a nod. I may wink and nod?
Going into the 100s today and no rain. The fur balls have all found a shady place and don't move near as much as usual, unless they hear "cookies".
Today I am using my favorite pens, all M800s.

Good morning Taki, JD, Don and all!

Don't know what the temps will be here but the sun is shining.
Currently hermetically sealed in a centralized air environment.

Today I'll use the Sheaffer Feathertouch with Luxury Blue, and the Sapporo with Brown-Black mix.

In the pocket:

• Visconti Said (LE from Tom Westerich) with Parker Penman Mocha

In the 3-pen case:

• Omas Bologna with Bethage (probably Herbin) "Lotos blaue"
• Binder/Bexley/Broadwell Pharaoh with Waterman Blue/Black
• Conway Stewart Elements Series, "Earth" with Pelikan green

Dang. I'd love to get my hands on the Visconti and the Pharaoh!

At the minute I'm carrying a Lamy vista with Lamy Black and my raw Dani' Takumi with PR Tanzanite, both filled by carts for a change.

Yesterday, today and until I buy a new FP, my Sheaffer Prelude

Yesterday and today - the Lamy Accent (F) I purchased in the Marketplace from James P.

Thanks James!

Good morning everyone! Change of pace today:

Brown Waterman ink-vue (fine nib) with Aurora Blue and
Yellow Danitrio Tac Carry II (Kinney stub) with PR DC Supershow Blue.

Don

Goodsmorning, everyone! Getting hard to keep track of all the people

In addition to my usual Sailor I am going to use Pel 250 clear demo filled with 50:50 mix of Apache Sunset and Whiteness of Whale. Now I have to think up an excuse why I need a black light.

I agree with Taki. Good morning to all you guys, you know who you are. You know who you are don't you Pep?
75F, 81% humidity and climbing. Welcome to August and damn I wish it was winter.
Pens for today. M800 and VP because I get to fill out a bunch of forms and some must be in blue and some must be in black.
And they all go to the same agency.

Today - 'Usual' set (from a 2 months time) - Waterman Expert II - Urban Brown and Matt Black, both with F nibs and filled with WM Florida Blue and WM Black inks
In a briefcase Lamy Studio and Pelikan Pura are waiting for their chance.. and also they are waiting for 3rd one colleague to my new 3-pen case - Lamy 2000 (just has been ordered!)
Regards

Good morning, everyone. Back from three days of jury duty. Looking forward to spending more time with my pens and less listening to lies. Today I'm using my Pilot 823, m nib, with Aurora Black and my Dani Trio Ban-ei with Diamine Prussian Blue for manuscript work and my DaniTrio Miwaku, soft m nib, with Herbin Lie de The and my new Bexley Poseidon Tortoise, f nib, with Caran D'Ache Grand Canyon for letters.

It is heading for the nineties in Boston. Yesterday it hit 93. Tomorrow we head to Ogunquit, Maine along the Atlantic where it is supposed to be a few degrees cooler.

Casual Friday calls for more casual pens.



In my pocket:

• Kaweco Sport "metalic" (not really metal)

In my 4-pen case (from Winedoc)

• Porsche Design
• Dani Raw Ebonite eyedropper (don't remember the model name)
• Michael's FatBoy Levenger copper edition
• Ducati

Good morning Taki, JD, Don & everybody!

Yes, JD, I think I know who I am.

Still using the Feathertouch with Lux Blue for postcards.

Today, I'm using my Parker 51 (reconditioned and nib modified by Deb Kinney, filled with Waternman Blue.

My Van Gogh Maxi Crystal.

I haven't used it for ages and had forgotten just how lovely it was!

Just filled with Caran D'Ache Storm as I can't remember what that is like either...!

I don't post on this thread often because I tend to use the same pen(s) all the time. I just get stuck on them. But last week I got my Namiki Falcon back from Richard Binder. The medium had become too big for my shrinking hand, so I had him grind it to a .5mm cursive italic. Really wonderful. And that's what I've been using...

Work work work work. FPN, dishes, FPN, puppies, FPN, clean my PC room, FPN.
Got a late start today because there is so much to do. Had to stop, hit over 100F.
Hello every body, hope your day has gone well.
Am going to pen a letter or two with my Xezo Airman with nib by me.

Wow! nice pen & nice penmanship, Doug.

No joke! I could never write like that in a million years! Without graph paper my handwriting looks like a drunken sailor on a bender trying to head due north! OYE!

HDoug, I confess I read your journal entry.

My VP chrome with a medium nib bnd loaded with Zhivago, and a Taccia Ta-ke bamboo brown, medium nib, loaded with Noodler's purple.

Doug, I've been using a same pen everyday for more than a month now and still posts almost everyday

I always enjoy your photo and penmanship!! I wish I could write straight like that on a blank journal. Is that your Old Bishop Blue, or Legal Lapis straight?

The right page is Luxury Blue, and the left page is New Old Bishop Street Blue-Black. When I took the photo this morning, I skipped back a few pages until I found a page where my handwriting wasn't so bad...

art addict, I also flipped back a few pages where there wasn't any embarrassing personal stuff... I hope. The left page comments on a postcard I sent you -- "Maybe Dada isn't Deda -- we'll see."

Doug

Don't worry, Doug. All I read was about the Falcon coming back from RB and using Luxury blue ink.
Pep

Parker 51 aerometric with the sweetest fine nib. Definitely the best pen ever made imo.

Today's pointy thing of choice is going to be an early 30's Duofold Jr. Streamline in Jade, filled with Montblanc Blue. Might also carry my Conklin Duragraph, too.

Good morning Taki and Pep and every one who is up and pen in hand.
74F, 89% humidity and it is going through the roof. Please, just a small downpour.
After being mauled by all the cookie challenged furry things and escaping to a cup of coffee I have made my choice.
I am going to be using my Lamy with converter newly installed.

Good morning JD, Taki, and all,
Coffee is still brewing,
a nice cool morning...

I think I will use the Waterman Ideal #3 with black-brown ink mix.

Hello all on a rainy and dreary summer Sunday afternoon here in Northern Ireland...

Having done the flush 'n' fill, it seems this week is going to be a 'big pen' week:

Danitrio raw Takumi, flexy F, Diamine Monaco Red (the nice wet nib makes this ink look its very best)
CS Duro, factory fine italic, PR Black Magic Blue (a nice strong colour at home in an edged nib)
My new Pencraft Churchill, Bexley 18k F nib, Diamine WES Imperial Blue

Pencraft is one of our own. It's a gorgeous pen I've just got my hands on, and Brian was a pleasure to deal with throughout. I'm looking forward to reviewing this one.

Work

Lapis Parker Duofold (modern) - Parker Black
Tortoise Pelikan M400 - Diamine Sapphire Blue
Sheaffer Legacy - Private Reserve Naples Blue


Home

Parker 65 - Waterman Blue-Black
Sheaffer No Nonsense - Sheaffer Black
Waterman Charleston - Diamine Sapphire Blue

Nice looking pen. I have one just like it, given to me by a dear fellow FPNer as a gift. It's not in the rotation today as it's being cleaned, but it will likely see ink again shortly as it's got a delightful flex nib!

For the past two weeks I've written with nothing but my Burgundy Parker 45 Fine point with only one fill of Noodlers Burgundy ink. That's 10 pages in my journal and misc writing last week at work. With only a few small notes and scribbles out of my other inked pen a Parker Frontier Flighter with a Parker Penman Sapphire Cartridge in it.

I've had very little time to play with pens the last two weeks. Myself along 114 folks from 5 churches spent a week in San Fernando Mexico and surrounding villages on a medical mission trip. We stayed busy and had a wonderful time helping folks and spreading the Gospel. This week much time was spent at the hospital here at home with my mother having a stroke and wife with kidney stones.

The 45 is running on fumes tonight and I'm pondering what pen/pens to fill for work tomorrow. Ya know, it's really hard to ink up a couple of $200-$300 dollar pens for use next week when you've been immersed in a group of folks that don't earn that much in 2-3 months...

artaddict, that is one gorgeous pen. Thanks for posting the pic.

Thanks!

southpaw, yep it's got a great nib doesn't it? nice line variation!

Today, my new Cross Apogee.
