Pelikan, red ink, fine

Filcao Tukano button filler - medium - PR SS Blue - this pen is excellent,
fantastic writer.
Pelikan 400 - broad - PR Black Cherry - somewhat finicky nib
2 Pelikan Go! M75's -medium- Aurora Black, PR Sherwood Green. I use these
everyday, and as the group has mentioned, excellent writers and what a
bargain. Write better than the M400.

I think this is a pretty complete list:

Cross Townsend Waterman Black
Parker 51 Aeromatic Waterman Black (EF)
Waterman Laurent Black Waterman Black
Rotring Core Titanium Waterman Blue (F)
Parker 51 Vacumatic Waterman Blue Black
Rotring Core Coridium Waterman Blue Black (F)
Colibri Scrooge Waterman Green
Green SheafferTriumph Waterman Green
Rotring Core Lysium Waterman Green (F)
Parker 75 Waterman Havana
Rotring Core Eternium Waterman Havana (F)
Wooden no-name Waterman Havana
Blue Sheaffer Triumph Waterman Purple
Rotring Core Tecnor Waterman Purple (F)
Red Lamy Safari Waterman Red
Parker Sonnet Waterman South Seas Blue

Except to those marked "F" or "EF" the nibs are "Medium" I find that this
means quite a bit of variation.

I find myself writing with the Rotring Cores more than the others at work
because they're rugged and secure in my pocket. I really like the vintage
Parkers and tend to use them more than the others when writing in my
journal. I find that I prefer fine nibs more than any other & will probably
choose this when buying pens in the future. Maybe I should try KCat's
suggestion & use a slanted writing surface.
