I like the Platinum Preppy pens a lot more than the Pilot V/Varsity pens:

The blue-black is just awesome.

And I like my Lamy Safaris and Al-Star better than the dispoasbles:

I need to go this week and pick up a couple of converters (so I can fill
the pens from a bottle of ink) and use some of this Noodler's Black I have
here.

My next purchase will be some Noodler's Aircorp Blue-Black:

and some Whitelines paper:

What I really want is a Parker 51 fountain pen.
