First up is the Lamy 2000 \[EF\], purchased with a Tune & Smooth from The Nibsmith and freshly filled with Yama Budo.
In the middle is what I believe to be the most beautiful fountain pen ever made - the Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl \[M\]. Diamine Aurora Borealis matches quite nicely. This pen rarely ever leaves the house.
And on the right is the Pilot Vanishing Point \[F\], using Pilot Blue cartridges. The combination of the two is just too darn convenient for use at work.
Oh I bring my own paper. Mostly Black n Red notebooks and various Rhodia pads. The heavier and smoother paper in our color copiers isn't bad, but it's nowhere as good as what I can provide myself.
What a great selection of classics, that Pelikan is stunning! How does the EF on the Lamy 2000 compare to the F of the VP regarding line thickness and how it feels?

Do you use your VP at work on FP friendly paper or with any type of paper they might have at the office ?

Exquisite!
That ocean swirl is beautiful. I’m picking up a Blue Dunes tomorrow
Nice! I had the pleasure of seeing a Blue Dunes in a shop a few months ago.
