First Pen and ink of 2014?

[Kaputnik]

What was the first pen you used in 2014, and with what ink?

I made an entry in my daily journal right after midnight, just a couple of sentences. It seemed like a red-letter occasion, so I used a Pilot Varsity that I've refilled with Noodler's Fox.

[Nickp]

MB149 with Diamine Jet Black to lament the end of 2013
CS 286 with Diamine Red Dragon to welcome 2014

I know that's two but it was the same journal entry:)

Actually got this little beauty on the way from Mr. Nussbaum at isellpens. Should be here in a couple days.

Edit - OOPPS, I just re-read the OP comments of the thread and realised it's "used" not bought. That said, later today I have plans to clean up one of my Esterbrook J pens and replace the nib so I will say that will be the first one this year. Probably will fill it with some Diamine Prussian Blue.

It was mostly just to mark off the new year in my reading journal, and that pen was the first I grabbed.

My New Year's pen is the Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze with an EF nib, filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Ama-Iro. Ever have a pen that you don't realize how much you missed until it comes back into the rotation?
