I have to find the draft...probably in my work bag. Will find it tonight

Today...Sailor Sapporo Mini with Sailor Blue and Orange Capless with Apache Sunset.

This morning I pulled out a couple of old favorites: My green Cross Solo F, and my Dani Trio Tac Carry II in black crosshatch pattern. Now I remember why I loved those pens, and love them all over again. I still say if the Tac Carry II had an F nib, I would be tempted to get rid of everything else. Dani Trio has a Classic available for $29, but an F nib is gold only, and $55 additional, bring the price to $84 plus shipping. Out of my range (but the, I'm cheap).

Today I am using my Yard-O-Lead Viceroy Barley finish FP, Medium NIB, with Watermans black ink. It writes on the finer side of medium and is a heavy pen, feels good in the hand.

Today I am using a Namiki Vanishing Nib pen. I just got this pen about 2 hours ago from Fountain Pen Hospital and I absolutly love it. I love the feel of the nib. It is very pliable which creates a pleasurable writing experience.

Today: Bic Select X-Pen

Today's main fountain pen is going to be my Sensa Meridian black/silver fp.

First year Parker Int'l with perm blue cartridge and an Omas Arco with vintage Skrip perm blue.

Hello everyone. It is a really pretty day and the dogs are frisky.
Still having some problems with my hands so I thought it would be a good day for ink mixing. So, dip pens are in order.

Parker Sonnet Black laque medium with Pelikan Brown; Parker 51 fine with Burgundy Mist; Parker 25 fine with Purple Mojo; waiting on a Waterman Laureat that if it comes, I will fill with Laverty Green Mix.

Today I used my Montblanc Meisterstuck 144 (circa mid 1980's)

Good morning.
Time to get up and smell the coffee and scrapple and eggs and taters.
Hope you have the day off Taki.

Using the only blue pens I own, my FPN LE and a no name bought from isellpens a few years ago.

Good morning, JD!! Yes, it's my day off and slept in till 0730!! Are your hands better?

Today I'll be usieng Orange Pelikan M320 I got in a trade (thanks, duponfan!) filled with Apache Sunset, and Sappporo Mini with Sailor Blue

Bic Select X-Pen fp

Good morning!

Today I'll be using my Sapporo Mini with Sailor Blue and a blue purse-size Esterbrook Dollar pen with 9128 nib(not so flexy but XF). I got the Estie from eBay, and a very kind friend restored it for me. It is filled with Pseudo New Old Bishop Street Blue (with apologies to HDoug...I used his recipe but substituted Upper Ganges Blue with Glacier Blue).

Update: I thinkmy mix still has a green cast from LL. Might need to get Upper Ganges Blue.

Normally, I use Pelikans and my VP at work, but today I feel like taking my wonderful Sheaffer Legacy Heritage, medium nib, filled with PR DC Supershow. This pen writes smoothly and has a solid feel and weight to it. The contrast of the black barrel with the palladium and gold cap is quite elegant. I think that this is one of the last pens made in the USA by Sheaffer before outsourcing. What a pity that we should lose one of our last great pen makers.

Oh, no! Nib creep on my Sheaffer Legacy!
How?
It was standing upright while not in use.
Could it be an incompatible ink? I used to use only Quink, Skrip or Pelikan in the converter and never had a problem. Has anyone experienced nib creep with PR DC Supershow?
This Legacy Heritage is one of my all-time favorite pens---I hope that it can be saved!

Parker Vacumatic, Azure, c1946, currently filled with Blue Quink. It writes with a too-wet medium line and the nib goes dry too easily. The nib obviously needs adjustment. Yet this is still a great feeling pen, good balance and great color.

So new (to me, at last) is this wet-noodle Waterman's Ideal No. 42 that it's not yet in my collection pages. But it's in the Piquadro (along with THE "51", of course).




This glorious pen came from the auction at the NY/NJ Pen Show this past weekend. Is it perfect? Nope. Do I care? Nope.

Same pens as yesterday, but I changed the nib on my Estie to smooth 9550 extra fine nib.

Today at work my Conklin BCHR crescent filler 3NL fine flex #2 nib with Levengers Cobalt ink (thanks DocNib!)
Also my Sheaffer Balance II Cobalt Glow with Parker Penman Sapphire with new med nib (thanks Cory)
And my brand new from the Dallas pen show Parker 51 Teal with Gold Cap (thanks Corby) filled with Caran d'Ache Caribbean Sea (thanks Sam)!!

My favorite, M800.Click to view attachment

Sitting in my new pen frog, which I purchased last weekend at the Dallas Pen Show, are my green Duke Carbon Fibre M with Pelikan green ink, my green Pilot 78G F with the same ink, my black Pilot 78G F with Hero blue, my Black Parker 45 with Susan Wirth XF nib, and Hero blue, and my Yi Cheng Young Engineer XXF with Noodler's la Coleur Royale. I use the two green-ink pens for financial data (the M for headings, the F for data) and the other three for other various documents.

Hi Folks

Today:

Sailor 1911 'Naginata Togi' - Noodler's BP Black
Caran d'Ache Leman Godron - J Herbin Saphire Blue

Have a fantastic Thursday

My new 'Picasso' fountain pen (see 'Writing Instruments' board for topic dedicated to my new beauty). F-nib, filled with Parker Quink jet-black. Writes like a dream. Review coming soon.

Montblanc meisterstuck 144 (circa mid. 1980's).

I just got a new pen on Wednesday - the Libelle Spanish Eyes (crimson red) with Noodler's Ottoman Azure [Thanks Joe]. I am also using my Montblanc Meisterstuck 144 with Private Reserve Copper Burst (love it!).

This week was German pen week...

Lamy Studio, fine.
Pelikan M200, stub, both with Pelikan blue/black

Sheaffer Imperial at one desk, Waterman Phileas at the other. Lamy Safari on the job site.

Just got a red Parker 45 with a B nib from Richard Binder. Inked it up with Diamine Monaco Red and wrote big. Pretty nice, even legible--for me. Working on a manuscript with that pen and ink combo made rereading easy, but for letters today I used my Namiki Falcon, M nib, with a Namiki Blue Black cartridge. Some of my pen pals prefer looking at tame, dignified inks.

Today it's been my (new from the Dallas pen show) Teal Parker 51 Aero fine with Caran d'Ache Carib Blue and my Lamy 2000 with Diamine Med Blue

Today, a black M215 with Binder 14K F and Sailor Blue Black, as well as a Royal Blue OMAS Paragon with Sailor Blue. Nice... Best,
David

Vintage Waterman Skywriter with flex nib, Noodler's Navajo Turquoise.

Edson..........le in silver with the ogb nib. Really like this pen and took years to find it

Parker 100, fine, with Noodlers Blue for making some additions to lecture notes on the presidency and Sailor 1911, medium, with Sailor Brown for making some notes on the "theologico-political problem" for a journal article I'm working on.

Gee Deca I'm impressed

I just used my P51 to work a crossword and my 2000 to write in my journal.

Work,

Dear Pen Nut
You have such a clever ikon-y thing-y!

I have been using my two Danitrios both with a stub nib:

Mikado with a home made mixture: 2 parts Herbin Olive verte : 1 part Herbin Lie de Thé (Not a fabulous colour, but it matches a rubber stamp ink and I have been using it for envelopes.)

And The Densho with PR Chocolate

Green Esterbrook, with medium general wrtitting nib, blue Quink. This is one of the nicer nibs of the Esterbrrok line up. Very smooth feel to the pen, all-in-all everything you would want from a fountain pen.

Today I'm going to use my Acme LE Elvis pen converted into a fountain pen.

Cheap pen day since I had to go out into the field:

Hero 329 and Sheaffer Award (medium) filled with Black Quink
Sheaffer Imperial filled with Pelikan Royal Blue

My blue purse size Estie dollar pen sporting 9550 nib, filled with a mix of PR Midnight Blues and Waterman Florida Blue.

Sailor Professional Gear with Medium Fine nib and a Montblanc 146 with a Fine nib. The Sailor has Sailor ink while the MB has Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black

Today my main writing instrument will be my newly aquired c1920s Waterman #7 Red Ripple with red band and red keyhole fine flex nib filled with Diamine Mediterranean Blue.

In the pen case with me today are also:
Parker 51 Teal/gold cap fine nib with Caran d'Ache Carib Blue
Pelikan 400 Soverign Blue Stripe fine nib with Cobalt Blue
Parker 45 Burgundy ef nib with Noodlers Burgundy

To Journal tonight my Lamy 2000 also with Diamine Med blue.

Today I am using my Wality 70D F eyedropper, and my Reform Kalligraph F, both with Noodlers la Coleur Royale. I brought in the Kalligraph because a coworker was interested in purchasing one, and wanted to try one first. It sat in my pen cabinet for two months, still inked, and wrote first time without skipping. And she wonders why I won't sell her mine!!

Today's pen lineup includes:

Pelikan m800 filled with NI Black. I've been using Aurora Black a lot lately. Decided to mix it up.
Waterman Liaison filled with Florida Blue. The Liaison is one of my few pens with a medium nib (most of the others are fine).
Visconti Van Gogh maxi (musk green) filled with PR Avocado Green
