Hi! I'm new. I've been mostly lurking on the FPN group on FB for a while, and decided to take the plunge today and create an account.

 

Right now I'm in posession of a single Platinum Plaisir with converter, and have inked it up with several different samples that I bought with it.

 

Favorite inks so far:

 

Noodler's Liberty's Elysium

R & K Scabiosa

 

Not so favorite:

 

Diamine Ancient Copper. It looks like dried blood. Yuck.

Welcome to FPN! If you have the opportunity, you should try Pilot Iroshizuku's Kon-peki. It's my favourite blue.

Thank you both. Suji, I'm in love with all things blue! I love Goulet's wide selection of samples. Next time I place an order, I'll have to see if they have some in stock.

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

 

I'm sure that the number of pens in your stable will steadily grow. It's inevitable once you joined FPN

 

Enjoy your pen(s), enjoy the forum

Welcome! I grew up 25 miles from Cape Girardeau Missouri, and went to college there for a couple of years. Where in MO do you live?Are there any pen stores, or stores which also stock pens in your area?

Welcome !

 

Dried blood color might look good on certain color papers. Not everyone likes everything. One fan described my vintage pen

as "yellow-teeth yellow" . (Don't tell me you have never loved an ugly puppy.)

I'm about an hour Northish of Springfield, MO. I'm sure there are pen stores around, but I haven't googled to find any yet. I've looked for Varsity or Preppy pens (my 13 year old daughter is an artist and likes fountain pens) at places like HeckMart and Hobby Lobby, but with no luck.

 

I've lived all over Missouri, except for the St.L area. Northern, bootheel, mid...every place but East. :)

I also live in Missouri about 2 hours North of St Louis.

I thought two hours north of St Louis was in Iowa. ;)

      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
