Good evening, everyone. Today I used my Vivid Pink Pilot Prera filled with PR Midnight Blue, but it was writing dry. Need to flush it out tomorrow. I also used my Sailor Pro Gear Slim Mini with Sailor Blue Black cart.

Used 5 today:

1. Parker flighter with a calligraphy nib with Noodler's Legal Lapis
2. Lakeside BCHR sleeve filler with Parker Quink black ink.
3. Sheaffer Legacy 18kt GP full overlay with stub nib and Parker Quink black ink.
4. Conklin Symetric blue swirled pearl with med. nib and PR Tropical blue
5. Waterman Lava Red Phileas with fine nib and Waterman blue ink.

Today and everyday is a good day when I use my el cheapo but wonderful Lamy Joy (italic nib) with cheery PR Tanzanite!

Today I'm all over the map with respect to pen use:

Green-stripe Pelikan M600 fine nib with Sailor Jentle Blue
Charcoal Lamy Safari XF nib with Levenger Pinkly
Green Sheaffer Triumph Imperial medium nib with Sailor Turquoise
Haolilai 801F medium nib with Diamine Orange

I've also inked up a few pens in anticipation of my personal celebration of stub nibs:
FPN LE with medium Minuskin stub and PR Black Magic Blue
Yellow Danitrio Tac Carry II with medium Kinney stub and Sheaffer Skrip Blue-Black
Black & Rhodium Pilot VP with Binder .8mm stub and PR American Blue

Also inked and likely to make it into use today/later this week:
Gray Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant fine nib with Levenger Pinkly
Green-stripe Pelikan 400NN with Aurora Black

Hi,

I'm on the road this week. I've brought my:
Hero 100 flighter inked with Noodler's Luxury Blue and
Lamy 2000 F nib, inked with Noodler's Legal Lapis

Good morning, all. It's 55F, rain all day.

Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini with Sailor Blue Black
Pilot Prera Lime Green with Noodler's Cnocord Bream

Greetings from the Valley of the Sun, where the temperature, not yet near its high for the day, is a brisk 95 degrees.

My purple Kultur, as well as my daughter's Lamy Smile and Online pens, have been emptied and cleaned out. This leaves the Royal Violet Carene, the MB146 and my Enzo Varini.

The EV gets the most use these days, because I can carry it around with me worry-free. As of yet, no one has commented on my use of a fountain pen in public; people are either too apathetic to notice, or they're thinking, "Is that some sort of insect that bleeds onto paper? How disgusting. I hope she finishes and leaves soon."

My Parker 51 Flighter & Montblanc gained prominence today. I had to refill my flighter in fact, because it ran out of ink. I'm going to have to buy a new bottle soon.

Work,

Parker 61 (with matching BP) - Waterman Blue Black
Sheaffer Balance II - Diamine Sapphire Blue
M200 demo - Waterman Blue Black
Parker 65 - Parker Black

New set for this week:

The 51 1949 aerometric navy gray with parker Quink Blue Black
Wahl Eversharp Skyline Presentaion dubonnet red just back from The Wahlnut with levenger cocoa
Danitrio Takumi black with Herbin Pouissiere de lune
Pelikan M200 blue swirl with paker Quink Blue Black
and my newest
Namiki Elabo black sm nib with Pilot black. This is the Japanese version of the Pilot Falcon (I was told) and I may be in trouble for Japanese specialty nibs now.

A Blue Marbled Waterman rollerball I picked up at the Michigan Pen Show. Not sure yet what model this is (I should have asked the seller). It's definitely not a Phileas or Kultur. Appears to be laque over metal. A nice pen.

Today I've been using a Parker Sonnet Cisele (fine nib) and a Parker 21 with an extra fine nib. I haven't inked the Sonnet in a while and had forgotten what a nice nib it has.

Good morning, all!! It's 37F(2.78C) and clear.

A day off today, will be using Prilot Prera with Noodler's Concord Bream. Beautiful color but it has to be used with better paper or it feathers.

Probably will use Sailor Sapporo (Pro Gear Slim) Mini with Sailor BB, too

Mont blanc meisterstuck homage to chopin

Hello and good morning. Wow, Sept. 1st comes and the weather changes with a boom. 64F and we have had rain.

Today I am using the School pen because it has a fine nib and I need one.
The other one is just for self-defense.

Today seems to be a Hero day. Yesterday I received a Hero 329 in the mail from a sympathetic FPN member who saw my post sometime back about I could not buy any more pens, and sent me a 329 he had inked and did not care for, and would not even give me a figure to repay postage. Such is the nature of people on this forum. I also am using my Hero 616 and my Hero 100 Flighter.

Parker Duofold, have written six pages both sides. Haven't needed to stop and refill it yet.

Pelikan M200 Rollerball

a near as mint can be BCHR Conway Stewart 540 with shallow domed top... absolutely tiny FP that writes with a lovely VERY fine line... and a bit of flex... I normally hate posting but tis one is far too small for me to use un-posted

unlike a lot of little tiny pens the 540 looks exactly like a normal full sized turn of the 20th C BCHR FP... only a TINY 90mm

**Cries**

DAMN YOU, LEDZEPGIRL! I WANT A DUOFOLD!! *Throws tantrum*

Today, I did a lot of writing with my '51' and my Montblanc. True to all previous experience, the MB emtpied mightily fast.

It's a Pelikan kind of day today!

Pelikan 400 Soverign Blue Stripe Fine with Levengers Cobalt
Pelikan 800 Soverign Red Stripe Extra Fine with PR Burgundy

Good morning all!

Omas Paragon '05 w/ HT trim, XF nib - PR Lake Placid Blue
Sheaffer Sterling Silver Victorian Legacy Heritage, M nib - Noodlers FPN LE Galileo Brown
Pelikan M400, Red Binde, F nib - Noodler's Ottoman Azure
Pilot VP, Raden, F nib - Waterman Florida Blue

I ended up with 4 pens today, since the Paragon is too big to fit in my pen case.

The Victorian is the first pen I've found which matches perfectly with the Galileo Brown, since both appear faux vintage.

Lake Placid Blue is basically a more saturated WFB, lovely ink.

Esterbrook J with 9555 nib and brown Sheaffer ink... I think this thing wouldwrite upside down under water!

I recently decided that in order to make finding a particular date in my journal easy to find, I would put the date at the top of each page (whether or not it was a new entry) and alternate ink colors for each day (but not necessarily each entry in multiple entries for a particular day). The system works and makes finding a particular day much easier. But it also makes me alternate pens. Today's journaling pen is Pelikan M605 with my mix of Noodler's bulletproofs, New Old Bishop Street Blue-Black, (yesterday was a Grand Place -- Noodler's Swishmix Burgundy), and my office-carry will be my VP Kasuri black with the same blue-black mix.

Weather-wise, another glorious Honolulu day -- my room thermometer reads 78 but it's probably hotter downstairs. A few clouds. Hope that won't obscure this morning's performance of the Thunderbirds.

today... a black and grey marbled GF trim button-filler "FABEKA" (????)

another great Bay find bought with no idea what it was going to be like... bargain price and virtually mint... and lovely to write with

I've torn through eight pages of my journal with my new Lamy Studio, XF nib, Lamy's own violet ink cartridge. Wow do I love this pen. I need three more like it, just to keep up with my ink colors... It's putting my Pilot VP (the pen I use for work) to shame.

ok well I just barely started a fountain pen collection. My very first fp was purchased on Sept. 4, 2007. So far I only have 3 fountain pens, and actively use them all everyday (at least for now as my collection is extremely small). Below is the list of fp's currently in use today, in the order that I received them:

1. MonteVerde Regatta (blue/yellow with chrome accents)
2. Sensa Meridian (black with chrome accents)
3. Acme Limited Edition (number 712 out of 1935) Elvis "On Stage" pen (roller ball) that I converted to a fountain pen using an Acme fp converter kit.

That's a good start, funzonelanet!

I am using my first fountain pen which I found and cleaned yesterday - a white Parker Vector, F nib, made in the USA. I thought it had died but it just needed a soaking.

Good evening everyone!

This morning, I've been using my Danitrio Densho raw ebonite, firm fine nib, with Sailor Jentle Gray. I'll also be doing some note-taking with a yellow Danitrio Tac Carry II, medium Kinney stub nib, with Sheaffer Skrip Blue-Black.

I'll be doing some grading later, so I'll be pulling out the charcoal Lamy Safari, extra fine nib, with Levenger Pinkly and the Haolilai 801F, medium nib, with Diamine Orange.

Don

Parker "51" demi pen/pencil set. I looooove my demi posted.

9 p.m. and I'm still working on 2 presentations for a writers conference tomorrow. Comforting myself in the throes of procrastination angst by taking notes with a red Stipula Vedo filled with Omas red. Love this pen.

Cross Century Classic in Chrome filled with Private Reserve Plum.

Today for my Birthday:

Pelikan 800 Soverign Red Stripe with Noodlers Burgundy
Sheaffer Balance II Cobalt Glow with Levengers Cobalt

Happy Birthday, pakmanpony!

Today I am using a Sheaffer feathertouch LF, and a Waterman #3, both with Super Quink permanent black.

Thanks Pep!!!! and Happy Birthday to Ringtop today also!!

Using a Xezo M nib mother of pearl Maestro loaded with PR black cherry to edit a friend's manuscript.

Rise and shine. Time for those exercises. Bend elbow..Drink coffee...And repeat as often as necessary. Good morning pen folk. It is going to be such a nice day.

Today I am using the Biggest and ugliest of my Chinese pens, my dragon embellished Namixin. It is just a hoot to use and it does write well.

Good morning, JD! Thanks for reminding me of the exercise, I think I'm ready for round two.

Happy belated birthday, Pakmanpony and ringtop!

JD, have you seen a VERY small dragon pen? I want one

Will be using my Sailor Pro Gear Slim Mini with Blue Black cart, maybe PR Tropical Blue or Sailor Blue when I run out.

The smallest I own is about the size of an M800. Got it from Kevin and it is a Phantas 1 (Dani Trio).
This will give me something to do and I will be more then happy to research it.

Today's pen is a gray Parker 61 capillary filler, fine nib, loaded with Parker Washable Blue Quink.

Sometimes the classics are just very nice to use when you have a day full of writing ahead.

Thanks, JD! I would be interested in something M200/400 size or smaller.

Good morning all,

Taking a 5 minute breather and checking in.

I am using my most recent purchases that jolted me into collecting pens.

Using my newest acquisition. Omas Paragon with HT trim and a sweet formal italic nib filled with Private Reserve Black Cherry.

3 Pens in use today:

Waterman Edson - Florida Blue Ink
Caran d' Ache Leman - Black Ink
Lamy Safari - Registrars Ink

Kind regards

Montblanc Meisterstuck 145 Chopin wth F nib. Diary-entry.

Using up ink ridiculously fast. Only refilled it last night. Already at least 1/5 empty.

Campo Marzio Minny with F nib. University work.

Swirled it around several hundred times on a piece of paper to smooth out the nib. Now writing in near as-new condition (ie - nice & smooth). I am now reminded why I bought this pen in the first place!! Yay!

My goodness, are we trying to set a record for the longest thread in history here? Haha.

Today's main pen is the same pen as every other day:



http://www.flickr.com/photos/shuttersparks/1399218681/

1950's Sheaffer school pen, medium 305 nib, eyedropper filled with Noodlers Bulletproof Black.

The link above will lead to several other photos of my collection of "used every day" pens, but the one in the photo above is what you'll find in my hand almost all of the time. Writes smooth, never fails, never skips, never misbehaves in any way.

Today I am using a Pilot Custom 823, broad nib with Parker blue/black Quink and a black Lamy 27n with a rolled gold cap, broad oblique nib and Noodler's Zhivago.

These Lamy 27n nibs are very very smooth. Two random ebay purchases and two winners.
