Hello everybody!

 

I'm from Bangkok, Thailand and have a passion for modern fountain pens. So far, I've got a modest collection of 2 Parker Premiers, a Sonnet, a Sheaffer 100 and a Lamy Safari. Since I've started this hobby, writing both at school and at home has been an immense pleasure, although I'm working on my handwriting, since it is clearly subpar to most of yours here!

 

Looking forward to getting acquainted with all of the great people here.

Welcome!

 

Perth, you'd know that Perth is the capital of Western Australia. So we have Perth from Bangkok...any Australian connection.

 

A nice little collection of FP's to start with. There's perhaps a few of us who still need to work on the old handwriting :)

 

Happy fountain penning.

thanks & best wishes, Captain Nib

...keep nibbing on...

Don't look down on someone, unless helping them up :D

Welcome aboard Perth. There is at least one more in Bangkok.

Please call me Nathan. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Welcome, Perth !

 

The practice of writing will improve your handwriting. I agree that writing with a fountain pen is more pleasurable.

The flow of liquid ink allows a smooth and relaxed writing experience. Reducing writing fatigue in the classroom

will be a distinct advantage.

 

Do you have a favorite ink color ?

 

Best of luck.

Thank you! I'm mostly new to inks, but I've found that the Caran d'Ache Amazon from the Colours of the Earth line looks quite striking on paper.

Funnily enough, that's a statement I've been acquainted to. My mother visited Australia a few months before my birth, so she decided to give me the name. I've never been there, but it would be one very awkward trip!

Hi Perth and welcome to FPN.

 

Nice starting collection. I would say it needs a Waterman now as your next pen...

I actually received a gold Waterman c/f from my grandmother, but it seems to have mysteriously disappeared. Which is a shame.

That certainly is a shame. They seem nice pens. Only problem these days is that the cartridges are no longer available and converters hard to find.

I actually had a converter for it, which makes it a much harder loss.

      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
