What pen(s) are you using today?

[AmandaW]

Another Kaweco day for me too.

 

Again the Perkeo All Black with the custom PO nib. The repair seems to have stopped the leak  Yay. But it now writes little drier than I would prefer... Sigh. (Or should that be seufzen...) The ink is Kaweco Caramel.

 

And... I may be writing with a new pen later today if my FPDay Backup Plan works out. There is absolutely nothing happening at any of the specialist Australian pen stores, so I'm making my own fun - definitely not buying from any of them... it's already nearly lunchtime on November 1 here and not a single email from any of them. A look around their websites: not a banner or promotion to be found.

I continue to primarily use my latest vintage acquisitions, a 1953 Montblanc 146, 1950s Montblanc 256, and a Pelikan 400. I also used my Pelikans M800 and M600 for a bit.

@AmandaW Happy Fountain Pen Day! I will luck out by getting a pen or two delivered on Fountain Pen Day. I doubt I’ll buy anything more though.

Parker 51 new edition with Sheaffer brown ink. A writing day ahead.

For Fountain Pen day I broke out my Retirement Pen from 13 years ago and polished it up and filled it with Akkerman Shocking Blue! The Yard-o-Led Grand Victorian!  (Don't look inkstainedruth!)

Oops, I may have had a good deal sent through on a Lamy 2000 from Endless Pens - £125 delivered - and I may have succumbed to the lure of a stubby BB nib. Happy Fountain Pen Day to me! I've been eyeballing one of these for ages. I'm not 100% on the hooded nib but I'm sure I'll cope. I have the Jinhao knockoff and I like it so much it's my handbag pen (just wish it had a B in it)

 

Otherwise I'm having a Lamy day - a herd of Al-stars, B nibs, are inked. I do wish Lamy could be bothered to provide at least some degree of consistency in their Z50s. I have a total of 10 B nibs and I'd argue 2 of them are truly broad. I've stopped buying Safaris and Al-stars for this reason, and that the quality of the bodies / converters seems to have slipped a bit recently.

  I picked up my Lamy 2000 EF for my chore list so far. Whe I get done with the list, I will try my new Takasago Premium Bank Paper.

[B. Honeydew]

Refilled my Pelikan Jazz with a Edelstein Sapphire cartridge.  This is an interesting ink but not so good of a pen (writes rough).

[Penguincollector]

  It’s the day to celebrate our departed, so I inked up my Laque Blue Parker 88 Place Vendôme that my dad bought me. The section is interchangeable with the Vector sections, so I put the IB one from the calligraphy set on it and inked it with Diamine Golden Sands.

Today Watermans with nibs number 2:

- 02

- 52 1/2 V

- 42
- 52 V

 

I like these nibs

My favorite Parker 51, aero, Midnight Blue, US medium nib. 

[AmandaW]

Today will be the Lamy Safari Aqua Sky I bought yesterday. It came with a medium nib that I modified to make a little stubbish. The plan is to use it for a few days to see if I want to take it down any further. (Then leave it sitting to see how long it lasts before drying out... does a windowless barrel make it usable in summer? I'm going to find out. Hmmm... I should ink another Safari as a control, right?)

 

The ink is Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, already half used. It will be cleaned and refilled with something cheap and easily washed out.

My pen of the day is the Conklin Duragraph Voyager with 1.1mm stub nib, filled with Diamine Anniversary ink Blood Orange.

I just love the clip on the Yard-O-Leds. That, and the 'futuristic' clip of the OMAS 360 🙂

[StrawberryDaquiri]

Today I'm giving some love to this mystery celuloid piston filler with No 4 durium nib. It's one of my favorite pens and a very smooth writer :3

[ParramattaPaul]

It was an Onoto kind of FPD day. I used a Scholar and my Magna to do the end of month and first of the month paperwork.

[Scribs]

A pre-owned Montblanc Calligraphy Flex 149 arrived in the post today, and I'm loving it 🥰

[Andy1883]

Wrote an essay with a Kaweco Dia 2, Diamine Onyx Black, but amended it using a 1950s burgundy Parker 51, Diamine Writer's Blood.  Enjoyed both.
