Hello From Missouri, Usa


Master Poobah

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

my name is Patrick Coday form Springfield, Missouri. I'm a college student at Missouri University of Science and Technology so I don't have an abundance of money for pens/inks but I have a rather small collection.

So far I have a Yellow Lami Safari, a couple of Platinum Preppys, an Aldo Domani (twas a gift and I'm unable to find the name anywhere), and I'm in the works of purchasing a TWSBI 580

As far as inks go I've gone with noodlers for everything cause money. I have Apache Sunset, Bernake Blue, X-Feather, and lightning blue.

Hi Patrick and welcome to FPN

 

Enjoy yor pens. A fountainpen does not need to cost many thousends of dollars, in fact, that type of "pens" will seldom be used as such, and are in fact just expensive bling bling status-symbols.

After a certain amount of money more just means more bling, not more quality. There are humbly priced pens abundant that are very good writers, while my most expensive pen was a blah writer until a friend changed the nib to an oblique italic.

 

 

Enjoy your pens

Welcome, Patrick !

 

College use of a fountain pen will save a lot of hand fatigue. Consider one of the Noolder's bulletproof inks.

I remember my college days, when I spilled on my notes >> water, beer, coffee, and worse. Good luck.

Handled carefully, cartridges can be refilled many times, with bottle ink, using a syringe. Carry a spare

cartridge in an "Altoids" mint candy tin.

 

Best in your studies.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
