Actually…I find myself reaching for the Pelikan Pelikano Jr., my Pelikan Script, or my Pilot Penmanship most of the time. I’m waiting on a Sailor Desk Pen, which should be interesting…
I carry a pen roll with 5 fountain pens. I also carry a Faber Castell E-motion cow motif ballpoint and a Parker 45 ballpoint for those times when a fountain pen just won’t work.
The fountain pens I keep inked are about five pens, four are different Pelikans from the green 1935 I love to a black M800. Also one VP inked with a Pilot Irosuzuki red color. In my bag I carry a Sensa ballpoint and .7mm pencil. None of my pens are designated as stay at home pens. If I like it and want to use it, I will take it with me. What’s the point having wonderful writing instruments if they are just kept for a sheltered life.
Four Rotring Surf fountain pens with J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune and Perle Noir in two and Noodler’s Legal Blue in the other two. I like switching between inks as my mood chaqnges
The Rhodia story book with blank frames helps with organizing my thoughts. I also just like to look through my fountain pens and feel energized by their beauty.
Pelikano Jr. is great for a left like me. It is a super pen for each day of the week.
I just ordered my first fountain pen. I can’t afford anything too expensive. I got a Lamy med point, the clear one where you can see inside of it. I don’t remember what it’s called. Any thoughts would be helpful. Right now I’m just going to buy the ink cartridges instead of geting a converter. Maybe it will come instructions about how to care for it.
i am a pen minimalist! i like pilot EasyTouch ball points (fine), or muji gel-points in 0.38 mm. both are cheap so that i can lose them at my job without stressing over it too much! because i will.
If I take the time to set up my writing scene, I’ll go with a pen that suits–fountain favorite is an old blue Rotring–can’t remember the style name.
Otherwise, my constant companion is a Pilot RexGrip .5 ballpoint. Durable, fine enough point, reliable, ready in a tick.
I love writing instruments, but bottom line, want to be able to write with them without having to be too too careful because while what I use is certainly important to me, what I have to say is even more so.
