So most here have more than one fountain pen. Some even have vast collections. My question is how many and what do you have filled at this moment?

 

I'll start

 

Montblanc 149

Montblanc Boheme

Montblanc Starwalker 100 Year Anniversary

Visconti Metropolis

Visconti Van Gogh

Parker Vacumatic

Pilot Vanishing Point

 

You?

 

Regards,

Marcos

I recently came back from a 10 days trip and I have left my pens uninked before leaving, so I am starting afresh and I'll try to have inked just a few at the same time. The only one inked now is only an Osmia-Faber Castell 882, KM flexible nib, and the ink is Aurora Blue, first time I've tried i, I'm enjoying it, I didn't find a place where I could buy Aurora ink around here so I bought it from one of my destinations.

I'm a user, baby.

 

We love what we do not possess. Plato, probably about pens.

(slaps your hand)

 

I' awaiting a Parker 51 with 0,5 CI nib for tomorrow, so I emptied everything out today and stopped writing with FP's until the "P51" arrives!

 

I just want to be in the right mood for it! :lol:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
