Hello, I have been lurking for a little while, but decided to join today. I have loved fountain pens ever since age 7 when we were taught Marion Richardson handwriting practice. I am unwell at the moment so thought I would use the time to improve my handwriting and look into Spencerian script.

@bbycrts , yes it is beautiful when it's dry, but it's wet n windy here at the moment & you wouldn't want to be on the moors tonight! ( Bodmin moor is close to me).

Welcome !

 

I hope you are better soon.

Which fountain pen(s) are you practicing ?

I recently found this from a most generous and articulate fellow member.

Perhaps, you might find it to be a relaxing read.

Welcome fellow Westcountry girl. You'll enjoy it here. Oh, and stormy nights are the BEST time to be abroad on the moor! - at least I always found it fun on Dartmoor (I don't know Bodmin Moor half as well as I would like).

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome!

Thanks to this forum I have just ordered a Noodlers Ahab, and I have just dug out my Mont Blanc Boheme Noir which has been unused for quite a few years.post-122554-0-08587000-1430903552_thumb.jpg

@bbycrts , yes it is beautiful when it's dry, but it's wet n windy here at the moment & you wouldn't want to be on the moors tonight! ( Bodmin moor is close to me).

 

Sounds almost like the opening line of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" . . . although that was a different moor, of course, and one much nearer to me.

 

The conditions are much the same here in the forest. The trees are taking a real beating but at least it keeps the sheriff's men away and provides us with plenty of kindling.

 

Enjoy your time on the forum.

To err is human. To errrrrrrr is confusion.

      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
