What Pens Are You Using Today 2019

My new Platinum 3776 black with Parker quink blue-black and I am loving the soft fine nib on this pen.

If you win over your own stupidity then are you winner or loser? In any case it means something good.

For Clarity.

 

Conid Bulkfiller is like saying Lamy Cartridge Converter. It doesn't tell us which Conid you are using, as all 11 Conid models are bulkfillers.

 

Conid Bulkfiller, Diamine Sepia ink.

 


 

Add lightness and simplicate.

Today, so far, it's been:

TWSBI 580-AL (B nib), mostly finishing a fill of Noodler's Carmine Suffragist (2018 version for last fall's Commonwealth Pen Show).

Pilot Decimo (F nib), with Iroshizuku Take-sumi. One of these days I'll flush the pen and put something else in (the one I lost had been inaugurated with Yama-budo -- because Yama-budo B), and then later I switched to Kon-peki).

Noodler's Ebonite Konrad (flex nib), newly refilled with Noodler's 54th MA (I needed something that was pretty water resistant today, because I had an appointment at my allergist's and was going to need to fill out a reminder post card saying it was time for my summer appointment; I actually filled the pen in the examination room :rolleyes: -- no ink on the the desk, but some on my fingers.... :blush:)

Filling in the field! Now, that is so cool B) But, maybe not the inky fingers. :)

First thing this morning was a BCHR Conklin Crescent (circa early 20s, I think), with a fine/medium with a fair amount of flex and inked with Diamine 1864 BB.

 

Just a few minutes ago was a Zebra 301 inked with Noodlers Black. A bit of a step down, I must say.

Well, that was mostly because I was running late getting out of my house that morning. And it was too cold out for me to do it at the bus stop (I didn't think trying to do it with winter gloves on would work all that well). And trying to do it on the bus (or the T, after I got downtown and had missed my connecting bus (thanks to an emergency bus change about a mile after I had gotten on the bus) was just asking for trouble....

I actually had gotten more ink on my hand the night before at my pen club meeting -- someone's newly repaired Pelikan (M60?) was either still leaking or was burping R&K Alt-Goldgrun into the cap from the wacky weather.

Vintage Sheaffer Balance Oversize, F (I think) nib [this is the pen that used to belong to my husband's grandfather], with vintage Skrip Permanent Blue Black.

I need to write some checks, so later this evening it will be the Noodler's ebonite Konrad, flex nib, with Noodler's 54th MA.

I guess it's a blue black sort of day.... :rolleyes:

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
