The pen in Rotation today is Worther Profil inked with KWZI Orange Ink. The pen is made of Aluminium and comes with standard medium nib which writes decently.

I hadn't used this Waterman's 12 PSF in quite a while, and I had a never used bottle of Akkerman #5, Shocking Blue. So when I emptied another pen this morning, I flushed it out, and filled up this one instead, with the Akkerman.
Although I could carry this pen around, I prefer to leave my really old ones at home, so I'm actually walking around with a couple of other pens. But I made a journal entry with this first; both the pen and ink are winners.

After swapping out the 23k palladium stub for the broad 18k I must say I like it a little bit better..
There is more than one pen and mechanical pencil in that pen roll. But let's look at the one below it.
Of four or five pens inked at a time, I've gradually been rotating in some that I hadn't used in a while. Just emptied another pen, so I filled this Sheaffer IV Imperial with Akkerman Shocking Blue. Nice wet writer. A little broader line than I normally go for. Maybe that's why I hadn't used it in a while.

Pink Sheaffer No Nonsense with a F nib, filled with an ink mix of Noodler's Rome Burning and Diamine's Chocolate Brown. The two inks mixed together make a slightly lighter yellow brown something like Noodler's Golden Brown (which I wanted, but also didn't want to spend the money on - this is a decent substitute).
