What Do You Use Your Pen(S) For?

[Bergerac]

As we all know, Montblanc is a highend, professional and of course, an expensive brand.

I'm curious. What do you use your pens for? For example, I use my 3 Mb's for a variety of reasons.

I use mine while talking to clients and making notes.

The odd personal letter that I write.

The "3 positive things that happened today" that I jot down in my notebook.

 

It would be interesting to hear about other people use their pens for...............

[Valdair]

Notes for work, handwriting practice. Occasionally university assignments but that's pretty rare anymore with the incredibly math-intensive courses I've been taking.

[Out0Mind]

I use them for everything. Literally. Writing at night, writing at work, taking notes, while out with clients, while talking to my parents.. I like to live by the idea that pens were made to be used, in spite of their cost.

[meiers]

I use them to write... anything.

[SE1980]

I usually just use them for work.

[zaddick]

Writin', scratchin', and paper weightin'

I use my pens for almost everything! I find myself using fountain pens a lot especially when writing revision notes. My hands fatigue easily if I use ball point pens.

Everything from filling out forms to writing letters. I use them at work, in meetings and on site. I never use a ball pen, so if I need to write I use a fountain pen.

 

I like broader wet nibs but unfortunately the paper at work does not, I use a fine nib in these situations. When I'm taking my own notes on my own paper, they all get used.

Fountain pens: general purpose in writing at home, pencils and document marker for books, rollerballs & ballpoint pens in moajority for travel for work. All them are Montblancs (35 at the total).

[CS388]

Too much to list, really. Everything I write is written by fountain pens, so they're used on a daily basis. I don't have a 'collection' as such, my pens are all workers!

 

On the rare ocasions that I have to fill in a form with a copy sheet underneath, I'll abandon my pens and grab a Bic Crystal - there's always one nearby, they're often handed out with such forms!

 

I also carry a pencil with me (standard wooden Faber Castell) for non-permanent stuff.

 

Thanks.

I use my fountain pens at any opportunity I get for everything. But when in airports, banks, government offices etc I carry a ballpoint as well just in case.

[Pen Nut]

Apart from the obvious I have to say that I am guilty of having the odd MB on the desk just as an uninked piece to both look at and handle (was going to put fondle but that just sounded wierd). Done that on a few occasions.....get a touch of inspiration when deep in thought about something and twiddling a WE or LE.

 

Do I need help ?

I have been using my MB FPs for writing. For what else? Always I have at least one of my 149s in backpack. Today I was sitting in a park and writing my journal.

I have a vintage 144 with an OBBB nib that could work as a flat screw driver, however all i do with them is write, barely anything really useful though being in IT almost everything is done with a computer.

 

I guess the only reason i still pay my credit cards with cheque even if i could do it online, is so i can use my fountain pens to write them

[Zdenek]

 

 

 

 

Yes, you're right, Tom. But I am a bad sketcher so I use only 50% of my pens options.

 

Edit: Ah, yes, I can sketch chemical formulas!!!!

Everyday writing.

[Maktoob0303]

I would love to use it every time, but it is hard to do so - as fountain pen requires fine paper to write on. I use F nib but it's still pretty broad for a cheap paper.

 

I mainly use it to study in home. But I do bring it with me as I consider my 145 as a lucky pen.
