What Pens Are You Using Today 2019

Pelikan pre-reunification M600 (similar to modern 400, says 'W. Germany' on the cap ring), black with M nib, bought new at Stempel-Bergen in Goettingen in 2005.

 

Waterman Intense Black

 

This combination gives a wide dark line with little feathering, useful for classroom lectures using a document camera.

i am using my trusty Sailor 1911L that I nib-meistered myself to make it write like a Broad nib , albeit it started life as MF nib

I meant nib-destroyed

 

But it writes really nice, so perhaps I did nib-meister it. Who r u to judge me anyways :lticaptd:

 

The pen uses my trusty Pilot Blue-Black ink, flowing nicely on my trusty Staples notebook , with no feathering or bleed through or anything

 

Kinda sorta amazing gig for Fonzie cool people who need to utilize tons of reasonably priced paper in their work day in and day out

Last night my M405 Stresseman with Fading Grey, along with my sort-of EDC, the M300 with Musk Green.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Now if only that Pro Gear was a little thinner and offered in a broad nib. So.. basically if only it was a different pen.

Today it was rather an eclectic (and somewhat international) set:

 

1942 Parker Laidtone Duofold, Sheaffer EF nib, with Birmingham Smithfield Street Truss Blue.

Noodler's ebonite Konrad, flex nib, with Sailor Souboku.

Pelikan M120 Iconic Blue, M nib, with Diamine Guitar Tobacco Sunset.

fpn_1525995730__mb_149.jpg

currently filled with Montblanc Irish Green

The massive nib is a work of art

 

Forgot to say what they are, but I think they need no introduction.

Montblanc 149 and Cross Century

I carry a Cross Century Classic as my EDC ballpoint too when I'm at work. I got the perfect sized sleeve for it from Fendrihan:

 

https://www.fendrihan.ca/collections/pen-cases-and-clips/products/e-m-holzprodukte-stecketui-leather-pen-case

 

That way I can carry it my pocket without worrying about either leaks or the Century tearing a hole in my pocket liner. The tail end of the pen pokes out of the sleeve by the smallest amount which makes it easy to grab too. I emailed both Fendrihan and the manufacturer separately to make sure it's proper leather and they both confirmed it. Great accessory for the price.

      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
