On the kitchen table at the moment all shouting to be used:

Namiki Falcon; smashing broad nib
Pilot VP; Richad Binder stub nib, simply devine.
Pilot Volex; medium nib, fabulous for writing shopping lists; smaller the writing the more items you can get on the page!!
Parker 45; oblique broad nib, good for signing cheques
Burnham 56; received this morning and just begging to write a letter

Going for extremes today:

Danitrio Densho Raw, flexy fine, with Aurora Black
Charcoal Lamy Safari, extra fine, with Swishmix Emerald Green (probably going to change over to Waterman Green, 'cos I'm finding the Emerald Green to feather and bleed too much on the stats homeworks I've been grading).

sonia_simone
helius, how do you know which black Phileas is loaded with which black ink?
Richard
So since I came back from Philly I decided I'd pull my 452 out of rotation. I love that BB stub and all, but doggonnit, I just had to give this Wahl a ride:



The other pen in the Piquadro, as always is THE "51". smile.gif
sonia_simone
Richard, are you ever a tiny bit tempted to set The "51" aside for a day?

No photos, but you know what these look like:

In the pocket, Sheaffer Balance classic black, modern rendition of the old one.

This was one of the first 3 or 4 pens I bought when I started this obsession and I got a craving to ink it up again. I recall it would write for a bit then starve out and the converter would need a twist. Let's see if I know what's causing it now that I'm older and wiser. Filled it with old Sheaffer blue-black.

In the two pen Penstop case,

Pelikan 800 - another fairly early purchase that I got a hankering to use again. It was in my shirt pocket yesterday. Filled with Stipula blue via the Netto system.

Diamond Point big red copy that's been with me steadily since before the christmas break.
ViolinWriter
Rotring Lysium filled with Pelikan turquoise.

Elysee filled with Noodler's Eel blue.

Waterman brightly colored plastic pens, one (gold metallic looking plastic with a pattern of squares) with highlighter ink and the other (wake you up color of a pink sunrise in plastic) with a pale rose highlighter ink (can't remember which ink brand landed in which pen, and can't find a model number/name on either Waterman.)

Am I an idiot? Don't answer that in the affirmative, unless you know I'm missing somethign really obvious, which is more likely than not. laugh.gif

No. Not even a little bit. Not ever. Entropy will maximize before that happens. smile.gif

Today I'm using a Levenger True Writer, kyoto, fine oblique nib, with Waterman's Florida Blue, and a Parker Vector with Levenger's Raven Black.
sonia_simone
So far mostly the Pelikan .6 mm Binder stub with a mix of FPN Galileo and Noodler's Walnut.

I'll probably bust out the Sailor 1911 as well, which is loaded with MB British Racing Green. The ink isn't quite bright enough for me for the very fine "F/M" nib. I might try a vivid purple next.
cellulophile
Today, I polished off a chapter of my dissertation with my Delta Moresi, with a .6mm Minuskined stub and Stipula Dark Blue. Yum-O, as Rachael Ray would say... Best,
