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

One pen gifted to me by my grandfather. A hero 233.

 

That's a handsome pen! The ones that are passed down or given as a gift by a family member are always the most special.

An English 1950s Duofold and a Watermans Phileas/Kultur demonstrator converted to eyedropper. The Kultur is my first eyedropper experiment and it's working well. Oh yes, and an odd Parker 51 inspired pen with a crude plunger filling mechanism and an extra fine nib. No idea what it is, but with the amount of ink it holds and the fine line it puts down I might be writing with it for some time yet before it runs out.

Aurora Ipsilon (black) with J. Herbin Cacao du Brésil (black pen and dark grey ink seem to work well together), and a Pen & Ink | Sketch with a proprietary black cartridge.

This week I've brought in a Pelikan M200 with Diamine Twilight... I think, it could be midnight, you know you have too much ink when you can't remember what you've put in a pen, I wouldn't call it a dark blue but a dark teal, I think that's Twilight.

      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
