I've been reading the threads for sveral weeks and now decided to introduce myself.
I'm a 32 years old engineer from Bulgaria. I've used FPs from time to time - mainly my Parker 51 given to me as a present by my grandfather. I loved and still love my Rapidograph set, which was my good friend back in the time when CG drawings weren't very common.
Until recently it wasn't very easy for me to buy some good FPs for several reasons. There's no market for fountain pens here in my country and PayPal was not available for Bulgaria too...They had some issues with the ex-communist countries /not without a reason though/. Now I own several nice pens - some Sailors, Sheaffers, one Pilot/Namiki VP, one vintage Waterman 12 with a semi-flex nib and some others that don't worth mentioning. I'm starting to feel the itch to buy every nice pen that I have a look at, but as far as I can see it's usual feeling among the people on this board.
I have been reading the "Penmanship" section of the forum during the last several days. I'd like to buy some pens with flexible and italic nibs and improve my handwriting, but I'll post my questions at the place where they belong.
Thanks for all of the interesting reading materials on this site.
Regards,
Dimiter
