I am waiting for my Visconti Opera Crystal Mosquito, which I had to send back, because it wouldn't stop skipping.

 

I am also waiting for my second TWSBI 580; this one will have a B nib customized by Pendleton Brown. It has left the shipping facilities in Georgia, maybe it has even arrived in Germany, but who knows! Pen ordering is an exercise in patience.

 

Oh, and there is a second Preppy Pen on its way.

I am even ashamed of myself right now... I went crazy (at least for my usual budget). I'm waiting for a Sailor 1911 Profit ST and a Pilot Namiki Custom 74 Dark Blue. Drooooool...droool!!

Just received my Lamy Safari yesterday and I'm expecting a Kreko that I purchased from an FPN member and last night I ordered a Sailor Reglus in orange with a fine nib.

 

Very excited!

Here is my latest purchase, the conway stewart churchill in blue which is also a button filler (pic courtesy of the morastylos.com site, I will take my own pics later and post a review of it). I am very happy with this purchase.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I just ordered another Lamy, a Studio with a 1.1mm italic nib for me. I also ordered a pink Lamy Nexx with some pink ink for my daughter as her first pen. She seems interested so I will start her off with a pen from a great brand. Obviously I like Lamy (I own seven so far).

Bought two Ohto Tasche's compact FPs, one in pink and one in blue. One's for my bf and the other's for me, to keep it in our diaries/wallets. As they don't take converters, though, and we both haven't bought cartridges for a while (read: since we were in primary school), we now must go cartridge-ink-hunting. The only Standard International I can think of is Pelikan. Not sure if the converter from Goulet actually fits this mini pen.

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.

You can refill the carts with a pipette or a syringe. I actually bought a 50 pack recently and they work very well. If you were in the USA I'd send you one for free.

Wow, stunning. Enjoy! My favorite two pens are both modern Conways.

      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..

      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
