What pen(s) are you using today?

[Penguincollector]

I used up all the blue ink filled pens and had to fill another- I finally filled the gold plated skeleton blue acrylic Asvine V169 with Waterman Serenity Blue. It’s a great big beautiful monster of a pen.

  It’s a Fine nib, paper varies by what I am doing that day. My daily journal is a Cartotecnica Monzese for Cavallini blank book, and my agenda this year is from Universe Publishing via Rizzoli. I wrote with it in those. 
  Right now, I’m starting my day with the Geha 707 with it’s custom teal ink mix, but will be inking my matte black Sheaffer Targa with a Slovenian purple Sheaffer cartridge at some point later in the day.

Welcome to FPN. And where is "here".

Also, sounds like the pen might be a copy/knockoff of the Hero 329.

I don't have any new Sheaffer ink so I looked the purple up online...Some examples leaned toward blue and some toward red..  Does the purple ink in your cartridge lean toward blue or red?

  I would say it’s more blue leaning, but not overly so. It looks very in the middle of the purple spectrum. My office lighting is terrible, so I did my best to show what it looks like to me.

I've been having this problem more often than usual of late.  Infuriating.  I'm trying to figure out if it's related to the weather!

 

I'm not sure how that would be? Humidity maybe?

  That’s a gorgeous pen, very art deco. I would forgive that one for drying out. 

 

CluelessMe's had it since '96 and I never realized it's Deco.  😲

@USG -- That Waterman Boucheron  pen is GORGEOUS!  Only now I want one.... 

For me, today it's been the Noodler's Forbidden City Konrad, flex nib, with Noodler's Heart of Darkness.

It's a very nice writer, you'd like one.  The one I have is a buttery smooth nail that leans ever so slightly toward the dry side. 

 

You always use inks with interesting names. 😀👍

  Thank you Helen. 🙂

Today's journal pen is a Sailor Shikiori Snowmoon with 14K MF nib and a Sailor Black cartridge. It arrived from Japan this morning. I cannot believe that this colour was so unpopular to be worthy of the lowest price in the discounting. It is exquisite. Maybe it wasn't photographed attractively enough.

 

Jewellery that writes! 🤍
