What pen(s) are you using today?

[AmandaW]

Today's journal pen is a Jinhao 86 Purple with a fine nib and Van Dieman's Sweet Fig.

I’m using a vintage Esterbrook LJ Bell System Property with 2314-M nib filled with De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes.

Osprey Madison with Zebra-G nib (another one that's good for "smearing" with the back of the nib)

Monday night it was my M600 Black Tortoise and last night the Red Tortoise. And the 140 both nights, too.

Using a brown ink, not fair!

Ironic really.

I’ve only seen the film, but the last thing that I’d expect the Wicked Witch to turn out to be is very wet…

 

“Help me! I’m melting….”

Oh, I think if I'd ordered the pen with the MF nib and gotten the music nib for the Loch Ness Monster pen I'd have been happier in the long run.  

And of course, purple (which isn't mentioned as a regional color in the original novel, just in the sequels) is connected to the area in the northern section of Oz -- ruled over by a GOOD witch (as is Glinda, who rules over the south part).

Okay, I give up.

What makes it "not fair"?

The person I got it from sent me a sample of Smoky Quartz which will provide my next fill.

While I'm not generally one of the people that goes "matchy matchy" with pen barrels and inks, I don't see anything either fair or unfair about it.

Today's journal pen does match its ink. So there! It's a smooth, wet, fine nibbed Jinhao 992 filled with the pigment ink Pilot Tsuwairo Black.

 

It arrived yesterday, along with a pack of five fude nibs which unfortunately don't fit. Can someone point me to a listing for nibs that will fit? Or the correct wording so I can search it myself? Pretty please. Thankyou.

@AmandaW what notebook do you use for your journal?

[TrueBlue719]

Today was my Montblanc 149 in a meeting, and a Lamy 2000 for personal correspondence. 

[ParramattaPaul]

True confessions.  I used my Onoto Magna BUT  to my utter shame I also used a 0.7mm Pentel Energel gel pen to draft a contractual addendum to a legal document. 

 

In my defence the use of a gel pen was needed because the legal profession is too cheap to use decent paper.

Lamy Studio Terracota with Lamy blue cartridge.

[Penguincollector]

I used a few different pens today: Parker 25 with Quink Permanent Blue, Charcoal Lamy clone with teal ink, Moonman Penguin hooded nib with Diamine Autumn Oak, MUJI aluminum with Herbin Rouge Caroubier, and Sheaffer Fashion II matte green with Skrip Blue. Oh, and an unknown MV ground point no 12 dip nib- some sort of Falcon stub with a CX shimmer orange ink.

I’ve never seen those. Thank you for sharing. It looks like it will lay flat. Cool!
