Namiki Falcon w/Mottishaw flexible fine, Aircorp Blue-Black.

This week, I have been mostly writing with a Lamy Safari with Noodler's Blue Ink.

I "have to" use my Namiki Vanishing Point at the office all week. But it's Saturday! Woo hoo! I get to write with my Conway Stewart Dandy (Private Reserve Midnight Blues), and my Pels 200 (PR Midnight Blues) and 605 (Noodler's Legal Lapis). Maybe the Namiki Falcon later on...

Using two of my favorite pens.

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Diamine Presidential Blue

Parker "51", aerometric, burgundy with lustraloy cap, fine-med nib, filled with Aurora Black

Today, I'm using a Signum Nova (in black pearl) with Noodlers Zhivago and a Parker "51" SE (in vista blue) with Waterman South Seas Blue.

I decided to go with my all-star lineup today:

Namiki Vanishing Point - black carbonesque with broad nib, filled with Noodler Zhivago
Parker "51" - dark blue, medium nib, Waterman Blue-black
Pilot 823 - black, broad nib filled with Aurora black
Pelikan m800 - green stripe, fine nib filled with Noodlers Legal Lapis

Do I need 4 pens at work with me? Absolutely not.
Do I care? Absolutely not.

Today I am using .....

Yellow Sailor M1911 with Sailor green ink
Laban oyster blue mini with Pelikan turquoise ink



Dawn

Today is mostly the Legacy 2 w/Noodler's Beaver, but the "51" is also getting some play with Levenger's Cobalt.

Today is:
- Platinum maki-e purple flower with music nib and Mont Blanc Cookies & Spices
- Platinum #3776 with medium nib and Sheaffer black ink
- Parker 75 with broad nib and Sheaffer black ink

Hi,

Today is Waterman Ici et la and a Monteverde black-tie both filled with waterman florida blue.

I started today out with two Parker "51"s, my black Aero, and a grey Vac. When I got home from work, I switched to the grey vac, and my "big Red". When I went to see my brother, he handed me my birthday present, which he couldn't wait to see me open. It was a Parker Sonnet, Sterling Cisele! So yeah, that one is inked up now . Something tells me sentiment alone is going to put this one in permanent rotation...

A Montblanc Chopin (Medium nib) and a S.T. Dupont Fidelio.

Today I used exclusively a MB 146 that Dillon stubbed for me, filled with Waterman black. The pen has really grown on me since his alteration.

I'm on vacation this week, and so most of my writing is going to be done with the Sheaffer 875 Balance with the tiny Binderized cursive italic nib that I use in my journal on weekends. It makes me exceedingly happy.

Todays was a Midnight Blue Aero "51" that I just did a resoration on with a great medium nib that I got from parker51.com (no affiliation, just a REALLY happy customer , and a Black Eversharp Skyline with a butter smooth bold nib that I received off this board. Gotta find an new bottle of blue-black, I'm almost out!!!

Today i used all three of my Viscontis!!!!!

Handlebar

Wow those are beautiful, Handlebar. I really need to get one.

My handwriting pens in use every day (in order of preference):-

1. Pelikan 800 (B nib) with Pelikan Violet;
2. Parker Duofold International (M nib) with my own ink mix "Black Cherry 128";
3. Parker Golden Arrow (M nib) with Pelikan Brilliant Brown;

Other pens always on hand for special purposes:-

4. Sheaffer Targa (F nib) with blue Sheaffer cartridge for form filling;
5. Parker Vector (M nib) with blue Parker cartridge (always in my shirt pocket for when nothing else is at hand);
6. Parker Reflex (M nib) with Pelikan Brilliant Black for those occasions when I am compelled to fill in a form using black ink. (We have one legal place who insist on black and if their forms are filled out in any colour they send them back).

Just in case anyone is interested, my "Black Cherry 128" is a mix of Quink Red and Quink Washable Blue in the proportions of 12:8 which I mix using syringes from the chemist intended for giving medicines to children.

Today its my:

Pelikan M805 medium nib with Noodler's Blue-Black

Uniball Signo 207 .70 black

Today I am using:

Parker 45 (black barrel, chrome cap w/ rounded black "jewel") with a 14K F nib loaded with Noodler's The Sun Never Sets.
Pelikan M620 Piccadilly Circus with B loaded with Noodler's Iraqi Indigo.
Senator President with 18K M nib loaded with Noodler's Lexington Grey.
Parker 51 "SE" (black barrel) with an unknown nib loaded with Levanger's Cobalt Blue.

I think I am going to have to send the Parker 51 SE out for nib work, as it seems to be mighty scratchy/toothy when I write with it.

Inkdesigner

what is the difference between the 800 and 805?

800=gold time
805=silver trim

Wahl 1925 goldfilled (chevron pattern) with flexible no. 4 fine nib ... yuuuuuummmmm
Pelikan M400 with Binder .6mm stub and Noodler's Apache Sunset

Nice set of pens offbase!

- Mark

Today, surprisingly, I'm using a modern Parker 45. And it ain't as bad as I imagined. Purely bought for sentimental reasons*, as it was my first fountain pen (I think) 25 or so years ago.

- Mark

*Well, actually, there's a half-price sale of Parker pens at the Stationery shop next door, and I just can't help myself sometimes.

Today, it's my brushed chrome Waterman Expert II with Waterman black and my Montblanc Starwalker with Montblanc black. The Waterman's medium nib produces a line very similar to a stub. With that kind of character, it's fun to use it! The Starwalker is a Christmas present with a fine nib that faithfully handles every writing task I've asked from it.
