What Pens Are You Using Today 2016

[ppdiaporama]

Today's pouch has a Lamy 26P Broad with Diamine Oxblood, a black Parker 45 with a steel Broad nib and Waterman Audacious red and a Sheaffer Targa 1000 with a stub nib and Parker Quink black.

 

All 3 are going to run out of ink shortly ... I'm lining up new pens to take their place!

The Charlie was introduced by Noodlers Ink after terrorist attacks in Paris last year. This pen was included with a jar of ink. I like this pen, the simplicity, the way it writes which is surprisingly good, but I had put it away for a while because it had a tendency to burp disastrously. I remembered it after watching one of Nathan Tardiff's you tube vids (channel: InkNeedLastForever) recently on a completely different topic, in which he seems to acknowledge the burping issue and explains how it might be helped. I'm sorry I can't remember which video it was but it has to be one from within the last 12 months and if anyone cares I'd be happy to take the time to look it up for you. So I tweaked it. Paper is out of the re-cycle bin at the library, ink is Higgins Fountain pen India. I needed black today for a job application. No burping, but I wish it had. I did'nt get the job.

Read your review, very through and informative, as are all your reviews. It is such a shame this outstanding looking pen can't be matched with a half decent nib from the supplier.

Thank you for going through the review.. Good part was that he supplies few spare nibs.. Which can be tuned according to your liking.. But by yourself..

A grey Estie J 2550 inked up with Diamine Salamander. I like this ink much more in a finer nib than in one of my usual broads or obliques.

It's 9am and I'm downtown at my favorite coffee shop.

Just finished the huge plate of toast, jam, eggs and bacon that $4.80 buys you at this place.

 

Pulled out my Hobonichi Techo and Parker 25 RB pen and am just about to put pen to paper on the March 27 page

@ Darkbulb Your breakfast followed by pen and Hobo looks idyllic.

 

I'm using a Nakaya Piccolo in a Seven Seas journal today. It has a beautiful broad nib made into a cursive italic. Later I'll grade papers with my favorite grading combo, a Custom 74 M nib with Namiki blue ink.
