Hello Everyone!

I'm Tommy from right near the gold vault here in Kentucky. Im a 33 year old wannabe writer who has begun exploring this new world of fountain pens.

 

Fountain pens always looked amazing to me from movies and such. But they always looked very intimidating to me, with the bottled ink and all. But I was facinated by them but never really explored them until I saw a discussion on twitter.

 

Ever since then I have begun slowly exploring more and more. Slowly because I don't think my wallet could take all the pens I want!

:W2FPN: And don't worry -you are certainly not the only one here with a wish list heavier than your wallet!

Grace and Peace are already yours because God is the Creator of all of life and Jesus Christ the Redeemer of each and every life.

I'm afraid for your wallet's sake you have come to the wrong place. Because we are ALL a bunch of enablers who will happily point you towards our favorite pens, inks, paper, etc.

So, what pen(s) do you have so far? And what strikes your fancy? Vintage? Modern? Blackest black ink or crazy bright colors? I generally suggest that new people read New Content as a nice overview of a lot of topics (I even stick my nose in the Montblanc Forum on rare occasions, even though I'm not remotely interested in ever getting one).

Hahaha, So glad someone got the reference!

 

As for my collection, it is a whole collection of one. The absolute best dozen doughnuts I ever bought. It is one half of a Yafa Scenario Fountain/Ballpoint Pen set. Which has brought me here, needing a bit of info about it actually.

Oh and I don't know the different brands at this time. Other than I have been told the Lamay Safarai is a good one to explore as a newbie. Other than that I just want to keep things simple pen wise. But inks, lookijg forward to playing with all the different colors.

Welcome !

 

I learned a lot about fountain pens, and about great folks who use them. You will, too.

Hi Tom and welcome to FPN

 

This forum is a place of horror for wallets and credit cards.... otherwise this is a most enjoyable place.

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. 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
