What Pens Are You Using Today 2020

This morning I took out my MB 149 to a cafe to do some work. Then I realised I needed a contrasting colour. Luckily I had this Kaweco sport I found in the car this morning with me. Converted with plumbers tape to an eyedropper it started up immediately even though I had misplaced it for a couple of months.

 

A contrast in size and appearance but with MB Permanent Blue and Diamine Marine they lay down nicely matched lines.

I used a Jinhao x750 in checkerboard, filled from a sample of Pure Pens Flower of Scotland, and a Visconti Merry-Go-Round with B nib filled with Visconti Purple. It is a Rembrandt pen. I put a Nemosine 0.8mm stub nib on the Jinhao.

@ Tasmith -- That is an awesome looking pen rest!

As for the pen, my one and only Waterman is an Exclusive (similar in style to the Executive).

Back on topic.... Today it's been the the Plum Demi 51, M nib, with Diamine Tudor Blue, and the Vibrant Pink al-Star, 1.1 stub, with diluted Robert Oster Carbon Fire (every time I go to flush the pen out, I end up just refilling it with distilled water instead... :huh: and continuing to write with the diluted ink...).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
