Today, the Waterman Sérénité and the Pelikan Place de la Concorde. A really French day

The Place de la Concorde is my most "uplifting" pen, and the Sérénité by far the most comfortable.

Five pens are inked:

Dani Trio Mikado-size Matte Ebonite with stub nib, filled with Noodler's Blue Black. A definitive winner.


Omas Ogiva (full size) burgundy with medium nib, filled with Noodler's Sawaro Wine. This is such a smooth experience...


Pelikan M200 Anthracite, stub nib by Pendemonium with back Quink. Excellent!


Sheaffer Imperial in Cadmium Yellow, with fine nib and 1/2 Montblanc red + 1/2 Sheaffer King's Gold. Yes, I am proofreading papers these days!


Pilot VP with Pendemonium's stub nib and Noodler's Standard Brown. Lovely!


I must add that I am extremely happy with the nibs I bought from Pendemonium. They turned pens that rarely entered my rotation in all time favorites.

(All but Omas pics from the Web: Kevin, Swisher, Vacumania and Namiki sites)

Today I took two oldies but goodies - a black Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown with a springy (almost semi flex) wet medium nib, and my trusty Parker 75.

Hey great minds think alike!

I ended up using my new (to me) cisele Parker 75 filled with Waterman Blue and a copper-finished, stub-nibbed Sheaffer Legacy 2 that was filled with PR Copper Burst. I also ended up doodling with my black Sheaffer Intrigue with a great stub nib.

Any day is made better by writing with a good pen...

The Legacy 2 combo sounds fantastic. Glad to hear you picked up a cisele 75. I can't say enough about how much I like that pen. I thought I'd never like a small pen until I started carrying it around.

Today, I'm using 3 pens:

Parker "51" Vacumatic (cedar blue with sterling silver cap) with Parker Quink Blue Black
Parker "51" Special (burgundy) with Waterman Florida Blue
Parker "51" Vacumatic (dove grey) with Noodlers Zhivago

Today it's the same Balium Core. Happens to be the only pen I was using today. Of course, it's filled with PR Shoreline Gold.

A Cross 150 year anniversary sterling silver.

Today, I am using a Reform medium nib filled with Noodlers La Colour Royale. It is a good pen to take during out door activities.

Today, large Blue-Black Omas 360, fine nib, Noodlers/Swishers Tahitian Pearl and Stipule Duetto World Lux Amethyst LE with medium nib and Noodlers Antietam.

In addition to my 149 filled with Quink BB, I'm carrying/using a black Esterbrook J, Double Jewel w/9968 (firm broad) nib also filled with Quink BB.

I dont go to school with expensive pens.

Today I was carrying a Parker 21(1/2 blue black skrip 1/2 black waterman) and a Lamy Vista with blue cartridges( that FADE!).

When I go to something elegant( a small party, a café..) I use a Pelikan 400 ( with parker washable royal blue super quink) and a Parker "51"vac demi( with waterman black)

For St Pattrick's I am using a Sheaffer Balance II in Jade Green and broad nib...
sorry, people, no green ink!

Let me see:

Bexley- Owners Club, silver color with stub nib and Noodlers Aircorp Blue Black Ink

Pilot Custom 823, Broad nib filled with Noodlers Aircorp Blue Black Ink

Stipula Novecento Woodgrain Ebonite Medium nib using PR American Blue

OMAS Ogiva Vision broad nib using Aurora Black Ink

Montblanc 149 with medium nib using Pilot Black ink\

Sorry, no green pens or ink here at work!!! I take that back, I have a bottle of waterman green on my desk but I am not going to use it!!

TNS

A blue Levenger True Writer, medium nib.

A clear blue demo Waterman Kultur, fine nib.



Cost me about $15 from eBay with shipping. I'm not associated with this eBay seller blah blah blah...

Both pens are using Levenger Cobalt ink, which is a nice rich dark blue, but not as good as my favorite, PR American.

For St. Patrick's Day I'm using my Pentrace LE. Barbara, to honor St. Patrick, who drove out all the snakes, is using her Signum Python.

Today was my last day of classes for two weeks as we begin Spring Break today (yes, we get two weeks ).

Todays Carry Pens:

Pelikan m215 with the best 0.8mm stub in the world (Thanks Richard!)
Aurora 88P with a great, smooth fine nib
Pelikan 400NN Tortoise with medium nib

These pens make me very happy.

I now have big plans for my Mikado since I have to finish up a paper before 5:00PM.

Venice Blue large size Omas Paragon with a juicy medium nib, filled with Diamine Prussian Blue.

Black Parker "51" Aerometric with Quink BB, and a Black Parker Duofold Sr. Streamlined also with Quink BB...

Well, I am not Irish, but my wife is .25 and kids .125 so....



A Vintage Marathon and Vintage Quink Green.. I am using this at work today - and took the picture last night for a screen saver for today at home.

Today I met a new customer. He was using a MB Generations fountain pen in black. Pity that MB discontinued that line of pens, since I think that they are nice lookers (at a high price point though).

My pens today are a Pelikan 400 with an OM nib, a MB 342 with an OM nib (a wonderful nib!) and a Sheaffer Valiant TD with a F nib. The Sheaffer has become too thin for my hand unfortunately. Not the fault of the sheaffer, but of my hand of course

Today?

MB 149 (B nib) and black Esterbrook J with a 9968 nib, both filled with Quink BB.

Copper-colored Esterbrook SJ with a 9968 nib filled with WM Havana Brown.

Edit

I went with a couple of big firehoses today

The big orange sets off the big black well!

Alejandro

Alejandro,
You made me so thirsty and hungry with that photo!
Please describe the ingredients.

Sailor 1911 - Waterman Florida Blue
Hero 100 - Sheaffer Blue

TMann

I think I may just be an oddity on this board. I pick one pen, and usually just use that one pen through the day, unless there is an odd occurrance that forces me to use another.

That being said, todays was my Parker "51" Aero. Black with Lustraloy cap.

Caipirinha= cachaça(a brazilian kind of rum made out of sugar cane) + Lemon+ sugar+ ice

Delicious!

Today, I'm using my Pelikan M450 with a Binderized .6mm stub and Sheaffer Brown. Great combination and a joy to use!

S.T. Dupont Fidelio loaded with "my" ink, a 2:1 mix of PR DC SS Blue and Tanzanite and a Waterman Liaison with Waterman Florida blue. As always, there is a Waterman Philias in my jacket pocket.

Well I just got my Pilot VP back from being repaired and I have been using that all day.... and loving it!

- Conway-Stewart 58 (Blue-Black marble) that just arrived this week-end from Gary's.
- O.&G.Ltd, "The Wee Camel" (BHR).

It's a vintage day.

Just received my first Targa yesterday - so we're at the "getting to know each other exclusively" phase of the dating game.


G.

Denis, nice to see you using the CS #58.

Today for me it's Burgundy Parker 51 with gold filled cap converging lines aero.

Gary

Today it was a blue Pelikan M605 and red marbled Optima. Tonight, I am simply going with a Lamy 2000. What a fantastic pen! Filled with a blend of Pelikan blue and violet.

Too many inked pens..

AZ - that's worse than my list - but I've had to work hard to get it down (and you should see some of the ones in queue).

But you may not show that sample of 21 without a picture over on the Eclipse thread! Wow - what a nib on that one - is it Eclipse or Warrented?

(a picture of 1 would be nice too).

John

Let me see...... Today I am using the following Pens and inks

Bexley Owners Club in Silver with Stub nib using PR DC SS Blue Ink

Pilot Custom 823 in translucent black with Broad nib using Waterman Florida Blue

Waterman Liaison in Orange Ebonite with Broad Sharp stub Italic customized by Dillon Ang using Noodlers Blue Ink

I amn in a stubbush mood today, raining and cold out here in Central coast of california.

Today:
In the shirt pocket with the Oxford ruled notebook is the Pelikan M625, "F" nib, fuilled with Sheaffer "Skrip" blue.
In the vest pocket with a Moleskine ruled cashier's notebook is the Blue Carbonesque Pilot Vanishing Point filled with the run-of-the-mill pilot blue ink cartridge.

Time to get that order in for some good ink. I'm really getting a hankerin' for that Noodler's Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue.

Cheers, Dean
