What Pens Are You Using Today 2019

[pankaj]

I took great pleasure in using this pen today; a Wahl Eversharp Doric (bought on this very website!), inked with Iroshizuku Hoteison

 

 

 

Nice pen , very nice handwriting.

A slightly odd assortment: (1) Parker 51, medium nib, with Pelikan 4001 brilliant black; (2) Waterman Laureat, fine nib (which is more like a generous European medium), with Jinhao black ink; and (3) Lamy 81, medium nib, with Pelikan 4001 royal blue.

 

All of these pens are writing a sturdy, assertive line, and to my surprise, considering the evil reputation of Pelikan royal blue among those who were forced to use it when going to school in Europe, that too is writing a pleasantly dark line.

Nice selection.

Certainly an impressive collection . And still more impressive is your handwriting !

TWSBI Eco with 1.1mm stub nib

 

 

I filled it with a sample of Franklin-Christoph Spanish blue that was given to me at pen club.

Tonight I loaded my black M300 with the Stipula Sweet Pink, which I've been using in a dryer JIF, but it looks pretty much the same.

Lamy Profil 81, medium nib, Pelikan 4001 royal blue. Parker 51 Special, medium nib, Pelikan 4001 brilliant black. Montblanc SlimLine, fine nib, Aurora black. With Aurora ink the SlimLine has become a smoother and more generous writer than it is with the dryer inks I routinely use. I live and learn.

So far today it's been the Pelikan M120 Iconic Blue, M nib, with Edelstein Star Ruby; and the Parker 51 Vac Navy Grey (my most recent acquisition), still with its fill of Waterman Intense Black from the seller (our own gweimer1) at the Ohio Pen Show a few weeks ago.

A Sheaffer Snorkel Desk set. The pen is a medium and it is filled with Lamy Blue ink I purchased this NOS pen/base set for $20 off ebay, the sac and seals still worked after 60+ years, although I replaced them.

Today it's been a lot so far, because I had a bunch of pens that were almost empty and now need to be flushed out:

Parker Vector Shrek/Puss in Boots, M nib (Diamine Anniversary Terra Cotta);

Pelikan M120 Iconic Blue, M nib (Edelstein Star Ruby);

Pelikan Pelikano blue (? turquoise), M nib (diluted Noodler's Eye of the Porbeagle LE);

 

plus Pilot Decimo Light Grey, F nib (Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa).

And it's not even 1 PM yet (all four got used for today's morning pages entry -- as one pen went dry, another was picked up); the M120 is currently soaking and once that's flushed out, the next pen in the queue gets flushed. Debating on whether to flush or refill the Decimo (I really want to swap out Tsuyu-kusa for Murasaki-Shikibu, one of the inks I got a bottle of at OPS a few weeks ago.

And adding to the list will be the Sheaffer Lady Skripsert, now that I have a converter for it and the other Skripsert): it got inked up with one of the OPS LE inks, Park of Roses, and if I have time I want to do a thorough testing of the ink.

Second night in a row using my black M300 EF. Haven't used it much since I bought it, had Stip Saffron in it first, then tried El Dorado, now it's got Dark Forest in and that looks great. Pen looks great, too, of course, so glad I managed to get it.
