For the first time in a while, today I inked my Aurora 88 (modern). I used R&K Verdigris, which I recently received and wanted to try in this pen, with has a customized medium cursive italic nib. I've noted that the look of Verdigris depends very much on the pen, and this is a wonderful combination.

Today it was (its night time in The Land Down Under) :

1.my favourite 1946 '51',black and silver,medium wet line ;and

2.the cool PFM V .

Tomorrow I am thinking a little Post War Sheaffer Tuckaway in baby blue with a shiny wavy gold cap and the little July 1976 date marked Pilot "Myu" , still with his little price sticker (Thanks again to Russ S in Tokyo). Both small enough to slip in a pocket.

The jade Wahl has run out of ink, so the next "one pen" is my Burgundy Pelikan 200 with extra extra fine Binder nib that I bought through the Marketplace. Sweet

Tonight I have my ST Dupont Andalusia in my shirt pocket with ST Dupont Blue-Black in it. This pen has a medium nib and is one of the smoothest writers in my collection.

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Legal Lapis

Pelikan 140, EF nib, filled with Diamine Presidential Blue

Finished up a converter full of Golden Greener in the Phileas (F) and the last of the Diamine Umber in the White Tortoise. Put some nice Lie de The in the modified flexy Falcon, which looks really swell. And loaded the white Safari with Diamine Emerald, which may be a new favorite. Love it.

Pondering what I should load up next.

Lately, I have grown a taste for Manuscript's Folded "Butterfly" nibs (Medium). The subtle scractchiness on paper is savoury after using nothing but super-smooth nibs.

The shaps of the nib tip is so that's it's kinda like an inverted stub (ie: Thicker lines horizontal, thinner lines vertical)

They're a joy to write with for pages and pages of notes.

I'm using my Pelikan M620 Grand Place fountain pen with a fine nib and Sheaffer Brown. This pen is very difficult for me to set down! It's a real looker and great writer, too! Richard posted a picture of it on this board a few days ago.

Today at work I used Bexley America the Beautiful (Blue with brown swirl) filled with Diamine Tropical Blue and Pilot Decimo with Pilot blueblack cartridge. At home I'm using Sheaffer Balance Ebonized Pearl filled with Swishmix Tahitian Pearl.

Today it's been a Sheaffer Crest Triumph nib with Diamine Prussian Blue
Waterman 52 Red Ripple (wet noodle ) with Diamine Sapphire Blue
Nebula CS100, IF nib, Diamine Tropical Blue

Today's four:

Filcao Columbia with Noodlers Walnut (I'm just loving this pen these days).
Parker Vac Standard with Diamine Prussian Blue
Sheaffer Touchdown with Diamine Umber
Parker 51 Aero with Waterman Florida Blue

These were a good mix today because I was editing a paper. so I got much use from the different colors.

Namiki VP in a Moleskine and for some writing at work.

Danitrio "$27" with brand new Dillo .6mm stub, and Red-Black.

Blue Danitrio $27 pen, M nib filled with Noodler's Legal Lapis

Hi

I'm conservative. I'm using a Burgundy Parker 51 aeromatic at the moment. The next pen on the monthly rota is a Black Duofold (the big one)

Chaim

Lately, my go-to pen has been my black Parker 21 filled with Noodler's eternal black.

I'm not using it yet, but tomorrow morning I ink up my new Pelikan M1000 (Green stripe). I can't wait. (And you can guess what I'll be dreaming about tonight.)

Have my Pelikan 215 in my shirt pocket as I have all weeks.

Last weekend I took the 30" right-foot oblique out of my "Katie Hill" and the Arabic out of my clear demonstrator and put back the nibs with which they started.

The 30" is in the 215 now and I'm enjoying the heck out of it! It had kind of gotten set aside when I got the Arabic but now I remember why I love this one. I'm right handed, but hold the pen sideways almost like a left-hander. This nib and the Arabic are the only ones that give me broad downstrokes and narrow horizontals. To tell you how strange that is, the intent of the Arabic is that it will give broad horizontals!

By the way, I suspect that this 30" right-foot is unique. Richard had not made any others at the time I got this one from him. (And since it's a pen and nib I got from Richard, it has Waterman Blue/Black in it.)

Two Danitrio prototypes EDs, both clipless, one large holds at least 5ml of ink (can hold more) and the other smaller and holds at least 3ml. I like product testings

Having lots of fun with my "$27" .6 mm Dillo stub, with R&K Alt Bordeaux. Which is great in it, but I think I will go back to Noodler's Red-Black as the absolute perfect ink for this pen.

Also just reloaded my white tortoise with Noodler's Golden Brown, all is right with the world once again.

Today was my black Eversharp Skyline with Waterman's Blue-Black, an ink quickly becoming my favorite
