My new light blue Prera with a fine nib loaded with Sailor Black. This pen writes an extremely fine line without being scratchy and the ink is surprisingly very water-resistant.
Green Estie J with 9556 nib loaded with PR Chocolat ink.
Pilot Custom 743 with FA nib (does this stand for Freakin' Awesome?) loaded with Pilot blue-black ink.

Using my yellowing FPN LE with Levenger Cobalt
and my Sheaffer Burgundy Snork with PR Chocolat

Sheaffer vacuum-filled Autograph fine point in the pocket, and the desk fitxture "51" Special medium, both loaded with Pelikan blue-black, which I'm finding in an ink with a pleasant degree of gravitas.

Today I received Kaweco Art Sport Samba. Inked with Herbin Violet Pansee. Nib is a bit too wide for me and I might have it reground. I will use Sailor, too for journaling.

Happy Friday, ev ryone!!

Well, I am using the Kaweco today and it's really growing on me. Maybe the M nib is not bad after all. I had not used Violet Pansee for a long time and had forgotten what a nice color it is. Might need to get a bottle

My Sapporo Mini is in use also today.

My Filcao Atlantica, with a .6mm Binderized stub nib. I haven't used it in a while, but it's a very enjoyable pen to use.

Sheaffer 3-25 SC with a sweet semi-flex stub (which I suspect is that way from decades of wear against paper, but I really don't care).

I love that Filcao, Jon.

Heard some rumors about Levenger at the DC Pen Show. Any interesting news to share? *wink wink nudge nudge*

Nettuno Skipper red/black. Good writer and an eye-catcher. It attracted the attention of the clients I met today.

1. Waterman Carene in Royal Violet, Fine nib, filled with PR Tanzanite. This one hasn't made it into the rotation lately but I think it's going to start seeing more action. I decided to ink it up after seeing some of the discussion about the Carene here on FPN. It is an exceptionally smooth, reliable writer.

2. Pelikan M1000, Fine nib, filled with Noodler's Black

3. Lamy Safari, 1.1 Stub nib, filled with Noodler's Blue Black

GD~

Pelikan Grand Place (with the medium nib that came with it) and Noodler's Zhivago. The combination is just fabulous! Fat, wet lines with vivid color and awesome shading.

Good morning, everyone! A stormy morning. I wish I could just listen to the rain in bed but have to work this weekend.

Hello All,

On the Road : Sheaffer Prelude with fine nib
In the office : Sheaffer Balance II with a fine bicolour feathertouch nib for writing / Pelikan M200 with EF nib for corrections.
At home : Conway-Stewart 75 black with fine nib / Conway-Stewart 86 blue marble with medium nib.

I am left handed, write very small and really like the smoothness of these old nibs.

I'm practising spencerian penmanship. I'm a beginner. Today I tried a few penholders and nibs with different results. Finally I realised that the easier way to study this handwriting style to use a needle point.

So today I'm using an Xtra 894 needle point 0.3 (Shneider Germany). The only problem that this kind of writing instrument is very useful and you can make lines very similar like a fountain pen but without the feeling or a style of a fountain pen (even the cheapest version of a FP).

The development of my writing style is more important, so when I'm practising i think I will use this needle point and other cases my fountan pens and penholders etc. I hope the time is coming when I can use my new style easily with a fountain pen or a penholder with a good nib but for practising this writing instrument is the first step.

This evening and tomorrow (and many more tomorrows) I will be using my new old model Pelikan 800 in black. Great pen. Ink is currently Galileo Manuscript Brown. Great ink.

Hello, everyone! It's 75F and looks like we are going get another batch of storms.

The same two...my Sailor and Kaweco on my Moleskine pocket daily organizer. I like the sizes of these pens

Hi everyone,

First day of fall term here at Arkansas State U and I am taking attendance with my Parker 100 (f nib, parker blue ink).

Deca

Hello everyone,

Today it's a Waterman Phileas with a medium nib which I just purchased yesterday. Wow, I'm surprised at how broad this medium nib is. A little broader than I am used to but a smooth writer.
Also carrying with me my trusty old Sheaffer No Nonsense, dark green with medium nib.
My Aurora Ipsilon, M nib is inked and on standby on my desk.

Circumstances bumped my Sunday afternoon flush 'n' fill to Monday evening. That's the way it goes, sometimes. So the new set is all pistons and PR blues!

Stipula Etruria Nuda, 0.9 stub, PR DC Supershow Blue
Lamy 2000, M, PR Sonic Blue
Pelikan M405, Binder Italifine 0.9CI/F, PR Black Magic Blue

To think I'm the guy that used to hate blue ink...! These are all inks that benefit from being in these nice wet writers. Presence.

Good morning, Taki! I see you changed your avatar back.
Good morning everyone!
It's been cool here in N. Ixtlan the past two days.

I'll be using the Pilot Prera with Tanzanite.

I have too many pens inked, so I'm trying to write a few of them dry. Today I'll be using:

Red herringbone Conway Stewart Shorthand with medium nib and Waterman Blue-Black and
Green Esterbrook J with a 2668 nib and Diamine Prussian Blue.

Other pens along for the ride:
Pilot Vanishing Point with fine nib and Namiki Blue-Black cartridge,
Brown Waterman Ink-Vue with fine nib and Aurora Blue, and
Green-stripe Pelikan 400NN with medium nib and Aurora Black.

Don

I have too many pens inked this week, so I think I will be using most of my Pelikans this week:
the 140 black with FPN GMB,
the transparent red 200 with Fox Red,
the 400 with Noodler’s Black,
and the 800 with FPN GMB.

Got to empty and clean the Sheaffer OS black, the Esterbrook Dollar Pen, the black Vac, the Waterman 100 Year red transparent, the Inkograph.

But I think I will keep the Laughlin inked for fun at home, it is loaded with Noodler’s Blue. I am really getting to like this pen.

Today, I will be/am using my Pelikan M405 with my new Pelikan ink which arrived this morning.

I have to say, it works far better with the Pelikan than the Quink I was previously using. The line is finer now, which is a relief, flow is just as good: my enjoyment of this pen has now doubled to be almost on par with my Sapporo!

Recently rehabbed Accurate c 1935 with Washable Blue Quink. I have yet to find out much about this comapny. The barrel and cap are cream celluloid, with a painted overlay that is supposed to make you think of marble.

After 6 weeks of work in a great american city,this european student decided that it is time for a little shopping...fountain pen shopping that is.So i began with an online order for a Pilot Prera.This pen is without a doubt a wonder,from all points of view.It is quite inexpensive,but without having a cheap look.More than that ,it is a pen with style.The nib is excelent,very smooth,very fine,the finest i have so far. More on that on a soon to come Prera review...
But that was not enough...on one of my few days off,I walked into a FP store with the intention of buying a Lamy 2000 XF nib,but because they didn't have that on stock i made an order for it and i said to myself that i can't walk empty handed from that store.So I asked for a Vanishing Point F nib...not in stock...placed another order,payed another deposit,but still no pen in my hands.Then ,giving in to temptation,I bought a Blue/Black Pelikan 405...a wonder of a pen.It is amazing how the Pelikans have so much class...
And now I am waiting for the other two,to see if all the reviews were right...
So here I am...well over my budget...but now I am hanging out with the big boys
no more AAA fountain pens for me

Waterman Le Man 200 with an extra fine nib. Bought on ebay for a great price. Perfect condition. Using the blue-black cartiages.

So far, a NOS TM Sheaffer Touchdown and an Estie dipless desk pen.

Interesting and ironic placement -- immediately after this thread is a question about flossing a Hero 100, a flighter version of which I am using today. I am also using my Hero 616 maroon, a Pelikan M200 green swirl, a Pelikan Level 65, and a Sheaffer Lifetime Flattop (from Docnib), all with Noodler's la Coleur Royale. No broad (or even medium) lines for me today at the office.

I inked up my big Bexley Celebration (Snowflake pattern, fine nib) earlier and have been using that for most of the day.

Vac Maxima, Diamine Prussian Blue

Same line-up:
Pilot Custom 743 with FA nib and Pilot blue-black ink.
Green Esterbrook J with 9556 nib and PR Chocolat ink. I wish the body color matched the ink.
Pilot Prera with fine nib and my Namiki blue/Levenger Cobalt/Noodlers blue mix. I love this little pen!

Good morning, everyone! 68F and another rainy day.

Will be using my Mini, of course. All these talks about Prera make me want to fill my Lime Green Prera. Will flush out Silver VP.

For journaling tonight: FILCAO Atlantica prototype (tigertail acrylic) 0.6mm stub nib, FPN Galileo Brown ink

Good morning everyone! I'm in visiting in Ohio and I have the ff. pens with me:
Sheaffer Feathertouch TD with Lux Blue
Sheaffer Junior Black & Pearl with Skrip Brown
Waterman Ideal #3 & Quink Black.
I let everyone try to write with them though I was a little worried about it. All pens survived intact.
Father-in-law insists I must have a Parker 51. I assured him one is on the way.

Hello everybody. I have had 4 cups (12 oz) of coffee there is no rain and it is only 84F.
Today I have a new nib for my Jules and it will be used all day.
Of course it will have PR American Blue in it.

Good morning, everyone! It's 79F and the high will be 90F today

I'm using Pilot Prera Vivid Pink with PR Midnight Blues and Sailor Sapporo Mini filled with a mixture of PR Tanzanite and Swish Mix Glacier Blue today.

Good morning, all. Today I'm starting off with a Bexley Celebration, in the cracked ice finish, filled with Aurora Black. After that, who knows?
