Sorry for blowing this thread up.

TIL: Anesthetist is to the Pens thread as Kasi is to the Good Art Threads

LOL I'm here for it!

Just another place for y'all to shine, everyone!

@Anesthetist I think I need one of those color wheel rotring's in my collection. Is it just a pen, black/blue/red?

[Anesthetist]

@chrisjohnnick it is just a little spinner so you remember what color cartridge you are using.

For years I used zebra M-301 pencils and Leuchtturm1917 books (A4+ size so I could put in printed sheets without them hanging out) with the pen holder sticker. After working with the director and artist Robert Wilson for a summer I started using a clipboard. I still have one of Wilson's paper mate sharpwriters. Current favourite pen is the pink one I got from my union. Mostly still use the zebra pencils to make notes in books I read for work.

@chrisjohnnick glad you are happy with the 800. I thought I had a second 800 at home to compare against the 600 but I was mistaken, I have a couple of 600s at home . Do you think the 600 and 800 are the same diameter now you have both?

Cool thread. Blackwing and field notes for me

Ooo so many good-looking writing instruments up in this thread. I’m a ball point person, and this has been my go to for years. It’s a zebra, refillable, and cheap! They cost like $7.50. I like it because I can keep it in my pants pocket and it won’t get messed up.

[chrisjohnnick]

@ddtrash measured the 600 and 800. The 600 is about 8mm thick and the 800 is about 8.4mm. Both feel about the same weight-wise. Love being able to carry it in my pocket now.

@sabergirl I've got that same one and like it too

Fun thread! I use my old Apple notebooks and the Scheaffer for more mental exploration and planning. The Uni-Ball Vision Elite, specifically in the Blue & Black ink, along with the small legal pad help me do my daily/weekly chores. Definitely on the cheap but effective side here. That pen is maybe 15-20 years old. I can’t even remember when I got it. Beat up and well traveled.

In itself just a standard Parker ballpoint, but this was the pen my mum used to do the crossword every day and now I use it for endless to do lists!

Every day beater at the moment:

Embassy Pen Titanium

@Tobi looks great! How do you like it? I’ve been wanting one forever

[Tobi]

@Danimal506 like a lot.. really heavy and well made. I know nothing at all about pens though!

I'm giving fountain pens another shot, so here's the one I'm trying to use from Bastion. Trying to write more and maybe improve my handwriting. Unfortunately, I may have got either a defective pen or the ink is way too old!

But I also do have a ballpoint pen that I do carry with me. Very smooth and more of what I'm used to, in terms of writing.

@Aetas that faded herringbone is simply stunning.
