I try to use all of my pens equally, but the most conveniently located is a Hongdian 1851 Forest Purple EF that my wife gave me. I keep it inked up with iroshizuku murasaki-shikibu.

I have a Lamy Safari, daily driver for about 4 years now. I run a chemistry lab, so I still do a lot of writing.

A solid choice for a daily writer.

I use my FPR Indus with FPR ultra flex nib every day. Mainly because my only other fountain pen in working order has a fude nib lol. The flex nib makes it versatile for both writing and drawing.

I’d not heard of this one. Looks nice, especially the green one.

It varies over time, but right now a Safari with a Chinese stub nib, and a “special alloy” Pilot Capless. For intermittent notetaking, the Capless is a particularly useful pen.

Capless looks really nice. I’ve never had the chance to try one.

I have one of those A1 clones in the mail though.

I mostly use my Traveler’s Company brass fountain pen fitted with a Schmidt EF nib because It’s always with me attached to my Traveler’s Notebook. My backup 2nd most used was YStudio’s Brassing Portable which I ended up losing while traveling in Italy’s Adriatic coast. I typically cary 2 pens with different colours. In the Traveler’s Company pen I use Diamine’s Writer’s blood and in the YStudio, I was using Diamine’s Hell’s Bells. Having 2 pens with two inks enables me to have more flexibility in contextual jotting.
