Hi,

 

I'm a 29yr old R&D engineer in France and my main hobbies are writing, drawing and painting. I'm writing with fountain pens since I'm 11. Even now, I prefer to write a letter rather than e-mailing because I consider handwriting more personnal and more important. Currently, I'm working on poems and ballads on my free time.

 

My pens collection consists of Parker, Waterman, Récife, Jean-Pierre Lépine, Reform and Sheaffer. My most treasured ones must be Parker 'Le Petit Prince' series 1995 and 1997 since they are the first ones I buy with my own money. Pens I write with more are Sheaffer Targa 1003 as main and Récife as backup.

 

Next pens I'm looking for are japanese pens (Sailor, Namiki and Platinum) and Aurora Marco Polo.

 

Hope we will get along well.

 

Best regards.

 

Huy

Hi NG, do you visit JM Lewerowski's shop on ebay, and have you heard of the Patrick Bauldry fountain pen?

 

Nice to have you with us.

Hi ballboy,

 

I just checked Lewerowski's shop, his tastes are more moderns Parker and Waterman whereas I'm more looking for old pens like parker 51, T-1, 75 and Waterman C/F (particularly spare parts and C/F cartridge filler, I have like 27 blue C/F cartridges left >.<) :P

 

I don't know Patrick Bauldry fountain pen either.

 

Actually, I'm looking for an asian pen; an old Sailor or platinum (urushi'd be nice and makie even nicer but my bank'd scream >.<). I like the Hero Urushi model, beautiful urushi design and not too expensive and I think I'm going to buy a densho or a hanryo. Will depend on my mood :rolleyes:

      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
