How Many Fountain Pens You Carry Each Day

[ThomasB]

I carry one--usually with a stub or italic nib for signing...For note taking, I usually keep one at work inked up and one also on my desk at home

[jar]

Today it is two pens. Feels strange.

[dadbar]

I carry just one with me....but I keep three on my desk at work:

 

Lamy 2000 inked in green

Parker 51 inked in red

Parker vector inked in black

 

I usually carry a fountain pen inked in blue (I have about 14 others)

[FOUR X FOUR]

since you're in hi school, enjoy yourself and carry as many as you like. Just be careful not to lose any.

Two

[hbdk]

Usually I have about 10 inked but I only carry 2 - one in my pocket and one in my bag.

[smose]

4 in two twin pen cases - two auroras and two montblancs, in blue black, midnight blue, doyou (dark brown) and majestic purple.

[Mister5]

Two to three. Sonetimes, a Platinum Plaisir is strapped to a Kokuyo Systemic with 3 notebooks. But I usually keep a Kaweco Al Sport in my pocket with my keys just in case I want a green splotch in my pants at some random time. And then the pen du jour clipped to my shirt.

Depends on if I have my backpack or not. If I have it, I'll have 6-7 on me: 4 in the pack, the rest on my person. There's no rhyme or reason behind the inks loaded up, they're just inks I like. Emerald of Chivor is frequently loaded, as are a few nice blues and purples.

[eharriett]

A little off my norm since I'm testing out inks and new vintage fountain pens. But usually, I carry around my Pilot VP for work (testing out new work inks too), and usually one other pen with a different color (currently a Jinhao with something new - today it is Aurora Black). I am considering adding a regular third for BSB. That is a color I want to use daily, just not sure which pen I want to hold it in, or if I should go and get a Metropolitan and call it good.

FOUR! Down from seven or eight. Now: Two Nakaya Piccolo Cigars, one Nakaya Naka-ai, and one Pilot CH912 (PO).

[ggrosjean]

1 in a pocket, 1 on my Roterfaden note book cover and 9 in the pen roll......never know when the apocalypse might strike and pens will be in short supply or whatever, it's overkill but.....

[J_MM]

Usually 2 pens go to work with me each day but sometimes more.

[hvargas6505]

As a student myself, I always carry up to 4 pens with me every day. I also have 2 bottles of ink inside my backpack in case I need to refill a pen during class.

[EdeIstein88]

Today carry 3 pens

You are braver than I; I would be afraid the ink bottles would break or leak and I would end up with ink everywhere.

If they're glass bottles, roll them in a couple layers of small-size bubble wrap and put it in a zip-lock bag, preferably the thicker 1 qt. size. Plastic bottles, just use the zip-lock.

This week, five.

 

Pilot Custom 823 (Iroshizuku tsukiyo), Lamy 2000 (Sailor tokiwamatsu), Balladeer (Sailor chushu), English Duofold Jr (Diamine syrah), Ranga Thing (Oster Deep Sea)

 

At some point I will be adding a Pilot Decimo to replace the Duofold as the marking pen.

 

Takes a while to iron out the kinks in what gets taken to school, but I'm getting closer to the ideal.

[Tasmith]

One, Red Pilot Decimo inked with Pelikan Royal Blue. Also carry a Red Parker Jotter with a Fisher Space Pen blue ink refill.

Good advice -- I'll try that if I get the urge to bring a bottle with me. Thanks!
