Greetings to all,

I've lurked here for quite a while. Far longer than I've actually been using fountain pens.
I've always had a thing for pens, all kinds of pens, the more pens the better, but avoided the fountains because of a nasty pen spinning habit.

Have now conquered that habit and have:
Montblanc Meisterstuek 146 -- given to me years (too many to count) as a gift and kept pristinely in its box til just a couple of months ago - fine nib
Ohto Tasche -- always in my wallet - medium nib
Retro 51 -- daily office use - fine nib

On the way
Sailor Chalana XF nib -- can't wait!

I like skinny pens.

Welcome to the madhouse! I hope that your time on FPN is enjoyable and rewarding.

Later,
Ron

Welcome Skinny! Glad you decided to make it official and join up!

Hi Skinny. Neat name. I hope you find everything you need and want here, and I'm sure you will!

Ah thanks for all the welcomes folks, never dreamed that my name would be shortened to Skinny! But I like it, it's aspirational.

So, favorite inks so far
PR Fiesta Red
PR Black Cherry

Have some Noodlers Zhivago on the way

Haven't gone so far as to mix my own yet, but I feel that coming on

Hello and welcome to FPN.

Hello and welcome to the FPN! I am sure that you would love a fully-restored Sheaffer Snorkel. They come in all sorts of different colors and nib choices. Likewise, they are nice and thin, especially when compare one to a Pelikan M800, or Sheaffer "Oversize" Balance. You find some good deals on Snorkels on eBay or at pen shows.

I may have to give that a shot. I read a lot about them here on FPN.

Kind of scary, I think 3 months ago I had one fountain pen.
Now I have five, and am thinking of more.
This new hobby is not so good for the wallet!

Welcome to FPN. Yes, this site will contribute to an empty wallet in a hurry.
