MB Starwalker (rollerball) today for me. Lots of paperwork on Mondays here.

Lion · 11 May 2010, 01:44 AM

I'm using my MontBlanc Doue Silver Barley fountain pen.....

Taffi Abernathy · 11 May 2010, 02:01 AM

Today I am using my MB BP and that Cross Selectip (love this one!). What about you?

JBat · 11 May 2010, 02:35 AM

Still with the oh-so-juicy M800. Writing with this pen is like skating on freshly-Zambonied ice.

I think that is the perfect description Nick, tactical yet elegant, thank you very much for showing it and sharing your thoughts, has been a real treat for me, it may also be a costly treat.

Cartier medium ball rights ok but waiting for the new ebay Breitling pen buy.

Dr.B · 11 May 2010, 11:51 AM

Just got two basic fountain pens. My son saw a fountain pen and wanted to try them out. He is 13yo so nothing too fancy.

Any suggestions on other starter pens...

I bought a Lamy Safari Fine nib - $26 and a Ohto Tasche fine nib - $15. I like them both, however the Lamy writes almost like a medium nib tip. I wonder which one will my son pick.

Shangas · 11 May 2010, 10:07 PM

Today's pen is a Sheaffer school pen. Bright red. Converted to an eyedropper pen.

Lamy Safari is an excellent FP

I believe quite a few members of the TRF/Pen Forum has Lamy Safari (I have one too).
The tipping sizes on nib differ from company to company, and even from country to country.

Other good starter FP will be Pelikan 200 series.
It will give you traditional Pelikan FP look and performance for <$100.

Lion · 11 May 2010, 11:16 PM

I'll join the bandwagon and use my Lamy Studio today!!!

Numismatist · 11 May 2010, 11:26 PM

MB Classique

Taffi Abernathy · 11 May 2010, 11:28 PM

Today I have my MB BP, my Cross Selectip and Pilot Center of Gravity pens. I will rotate their use throughout the day. Hope you have a great day and that your pen(s) bring you writing pleasure!

JBat · 12 May 2010, 01:52 AM

I'm using both the Pelikan M800 (Herbin Bleu Nuit) and the Omas Arco (Aurora Black) today. It's interesting to contrast the two pens. Totally different feel and nib experience. Both excellent in their own ways.

Bisquitlips · 12 May 2010, 11:43 AM

Today!! My Sheaffer Nostalgia!

Lion · 12 May 2010, 11:13 PM

Richard, are those examples of earlier currency in America and Canada real???

Taffi Abernathy · 13 May 2010, 02:02 AM

Today I am using a pink Cross Century pen with a pink Swarovski crystal on the clip. This way I don't have to worry about one of you guys absconding with it! (The trusty MB BP is in my handbag.)

Lion · 13 May 2010, 07:33 AM

Today I'm back to using my MB Solitaire Doue Signum.....

Nice looking writing instrument!

2careless · 13 May 2010, 06:54 PM

I'm using a MB 149 75th LE with J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir ink, before it's sent off for a nib change.

2careless · 13 May 2010, 06:54 PM

IT'S AMAZING!

If only they still made pens like this these days, instead of spitting them out as "limited editions".

Lion · 13 May 2010, 10:18 PM

Today, I'm using my Parker Sonnet.....

Taffi Abernathy · 13 May 2010, 10:43 PM

Today I am using my Montblanc Rollerball with fine black refill. I also (as usual) brought a few inexpensive pens.

Enjoy your day everyone!!!

No, I actually made of prints of photos I found on the net just to use as backgrounds.

Lion · 14 May 2010, 10:57 PM

Richard, those are fun notes as you have a U.S.colonial, confederacy, State Banknote and an early silver Certificate. As for the Canadian bill I'm not to certain about it's age!!!

Shangas · 14 May 2010, 11:19 PM

Today's pen was a 1908 Swan eyedropper.

Lion · 15 May 2010, 12:21 AM

Today I'm going to use my Pilot G-2 because it's been complaining about lack of use!!! LOL!!!
