What pen(s) are you using today?

[flodoc]

Today's pen is a Bexley Poseidon Penultimate L. E. 07/22, with an 18k fine nib inked with Pilot Yama-budo. It appears to be made from the same stock as the Bexley White Tiger limited edition (116 produced). The White Tiger has gold plated furniture whereas the Penultimate has chrome furniture. 

 

I'm still using the Pelikan M250 and MB 149.

I am surprised that none of the Pi pen owners haven't mentioned using their Pi pens on Pi day.

I mentioned it in another thread. I did get a pen today, so it can be my Pi Pen! It’s a Kaweco, so it has the “slices” on the cap. I didn’t get any pie to celebrate. But there was a text from a pizza place. Maybe go out and buy a frozen pizza….

 

Adding the photo of the Kaweco Skyline Sport 2026 edition in Pink that I filled with the ink I got with the order. It is De Atramentis Aubergine.

Oh, yes! Especially for pen shows. I'm not sure whether it has saved me any money, but it certainly helps me focus.

Good plan. A pi is a pie is a pi..

Yes! Plus I think I like pizza better than pies.

Today has seen me using;

 

Platinum 3776 Mt. Fuji Unkei Kino Gumo SF, with Akkerman Stormachtig Blauw

I'm still trying to distract myself from a new pen due out next month by using my Sailor King Of Pen Iro Miyabi Usukou, M, inked with De Atramentis Whisky Ink

and then last, but by no means least Pilot Justus 95 inked with Pilot Black.

Bic Easy Clic with Otto Hut cartridge

I had the Pilot Elite and black/rhodium  Sailor Pro Gear in use yesterday and then this nice little MB 144 came in the mail and obviously needed to be inked. Elite is 18K soft fine with kon-peki and the Pro Gear is a fine tuned by Kirk and inked with Sailor souboku. This one has a 21K rhodium nib rather than the typical bi-color. Nib on the 144 is what you’d expect. Inked with MB Mystery Black and it’s smooth and wet. Not the most interesting nibs in the world, but boy, they work as intended. Perhaps another large German pen maker (quasi German these days?) should take note 😉. Not much writing this weekend with yard work, some time with the Big Green Egg, and a Great Pyrenees who had doggie ACL surgery on Monday, but a nice trio to choose from when I need to write. @Penguincollector I’ll add my well wishes to the pile. Feel better soon.

Platinum Blue Black

 

I've finally got around to trying it -- first time using both the Meteor and the Blue-Black.

 

 

Very happy with both, even though the 'black' in the ink name is a bit of an overstatement. As far as blue-blacks go, I prefer the colour of Pelikan 4001 but the wetness of Platinum -- is there a B-B ink that combines these two preferences, anyone?

[InkyProf]

MB 146 <M>, early 80s, with MB Midnight Blue (non-IG). This fill is nearing its end, but I also seem to be using it less and less, probably because it's become familiar and I'm a little bored with it -- so it might, Zenoesquely, last forever. But I also can't seem to bring myself to discard the remaining ink and clean it out, because I also really enjoy writing with it. Paradox upon paradox.

 

Conklin Endura Senior <F>, late 1920s, orange celluloid, with Waterman Inspired Blue. No paradoxes here: new pen, recently filled, vivid ink, nothing but puppy love.

  Thank you, @Cjtamu. Your pens are lovely, very much in my wheelhouse. I get Kirk to italicize all of my MB nibs and it really brings out all of their wonderful qualities. May your giant puppy heal quickly and thoroughly.

Thank you, he’s doing well. Pyrs are remarkable dogs and very resilient. And this particular dog is special, even for a Pyr. The real fun will start soon when he figures he’s 100% and should be allowed to roam and do Oso Blanco things and we won’t let him LOL. Kirk is a wizard. We communicate well and it’s easy for me to tell him what I want though he pretty much knows at this point.
