What's your everyday carry?

I do like similar styles of pens; Lamy 2000, Pilot Capless, MontBlanc 14/24/34/74/84. Very discreet and slim.

It's good to know that I'm not alone in this. It definitely seems like this is somewhat contrary to the dominant preference at the current time.

Interesting!

I like to carry the same model of pen in at least 3 different colours and inks. I identify items at work by color.  I will rotate every few days. I like to see how different inks behave with the same type of nib, and different nib sizes of the same brand. Currently rotating 4 Kaweco sports, 4 Kaweco AL Sports, 3 Faber-Castel Ambitions, 5 Lamy Safaris, 4 Caran'ache 849s and 2 Traveler Company's brass pens. Taking my Pilot Kakünos and Schneider CEODs out of the rotation for a while. I think I've outgrown them, in a way.

This means I usually look for models that I like in at least three  colors. If I only like one or even just two, I will pass. I don't know why I am fixated with this and I know it sounds a bit psycho, but I do love handling designs I like in several colors.

 

Next up: Diplomat Aeros, Récife Soyouz and maybe Opus 88 Omars... slowly moving up in the world! Maybe by this time next year I will be splurging on limited edition Pilots and Sailors?  Three or Four of each?  Nah.... 😅

Three cheers for the Liliput crowd. I work with special needs, and a Liliput is a pen I can stash in a hip pocket without breaking either pen or hip when I go down. Plus, we’re a non-profit that still paper-documents everything. Fountain pens win again!

( I got stainless steel ones!)
