What Pens Are You Using Today 2019

Recommended Posts

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:

      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..

      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
