Hello everyone,

 

I found FPN about a month ago, when my wife bought me a fountain pen for my birthday. I actually was waiting for roller ball pen. Well for past month I have been trying and purchased and returned over 20 fountain pens. I know.... Crazy.

I tried couple of Montegrappa, but did not work. I wanted to love it, but returned it.

I tried Parker Premiere. returned
I tried Waterman Carene. (liked it, did not like the small nib). returned.

I purchased Visconti Homo Sapiens (I love the feel and wetness and flex really well for me), but sent to Visconti to have Nib replaced to XF Nib.

I purchased Namiki Falcon (F). I like the springiness but need to control better.

I purchased Faber Castell Ambition Black Rhombus. Super smooth for steel Nib. My work pen.
I purchased 2 Pelikan M200. 1 black Italic (like it), and 1 demonstrator medium nib.

 

Today, I finally purchased fountain pen that I can not describe. The nib is so delicious and lovely. I am in love. I don't know if I can find any better writer. It is Super Duper smooth..... It glides that you don't even feel like you are actually writing at all. I thought Faber Castell was smooth, but if everyone could try it. Anyway, Thank you so much for your knowledge everyone. I am learning so much from you guys.

 

Just to let you know I am in FPN everyday. I am actually writing this post from my work right now.

 

 

 

Christopher

Hi Christopher, and welcome to FPN

 

You're cruel... :D , you tell us about that great nib you found, and do not tell us which pen it is.

 

We want to know!!! and as we say here: it did not happen without pictures.... :D

 

 

Enjoy the forum

Sorry guys.

 

My wife also tells me I am cruel. :)

 

As I said earlier, I was working when I was writing this message. The pen I really fell in love with is Visconti Michelagelo Medium nib that actually writes like italic nib and very broad on most of paper. Since I took the picture by iPod, pictures are horrible.

Once again guys, I do not know if you will find same nib that I got, but please give it try when you get a chance.

Hey guys,

 

Warm welcome to Christopher. He's self-described "crazy" Personally, I think he is 100 fountain pens short of crazy. .

 

Write with joy.

Hello and welcome, Christopher. I am glad you have joined us. Please make yourself right at home and don't be shy about asking questions or stating your opinions. I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.

 

Congratulations on finding a pen you are in love with. It is a wonderful feeling. I'll have to check out that Visconti Michelangelo.

Thank you every one. I do feel very welcome in here. Since I am new to fountain pens I have many questions to follow in coming years.

I wish to try vintage Bexley, Easterbrook, Edison Pen Company, Parker 51, Parker Vac, Pelikan M800 or M1000, and MB146 or MB 149 before my time.

      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
