Hello, all.

 

I've been lurking around for little while and decided to post. I have a few inexpensive pens; my current favorite is a Delta Serena that my lovely wife got me earlier this year (we call it a combination Valentine's & Father's day gift!)

Welcome !

 

Your Delta Serena is a handsome, conservative fountain pen. While injection molding is the common production method, your pen is machined from a solid piece of material. I hope you are getting good use from a thoughtful gift.

 

Which other fountain pen do you have ? Do you hav e a favorite ink ?

 

I think of Northern Maryland as Baltimore and Central Maryland as the Washington DC suburbs. That would make Southern Maryland Clinton, and all those "Port-something" places. Is that you ?

This is a great place. Wonderful people and great advice. Enjoy.

Anyone like Ray Bradbury? Please read "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair" if you have about 12 minutes.

 

You will not forget this wonderful gem that is largely obscure and sadly, forgotten. http://bit.ly/1DZtL4g

I am certainly low budget - I have a Waterman that I picked up at Staples a few years ago (Philias, I think) as well as a Cross from the same place, Pilot Metropolitan and a couple of Jinhaos (X450, X750) that I got in a two-for-one sale. I've just started looking at inks, having used cartridges so I don't have a favorite, yet.

 

You sound as though you've been here - perhaps Andrews AFB (now Joint Base)?

 

Maryland is typically broken onto four geographic parts - Western (the mountains), Central (Baltimore to DC), Eastern Shore (between the Chesapeake and the ocean) and Southern (south of DC). I am in Waldorf, between Clinton and the Port places - about 45-60 minutes south of DC. Yes, Clinton would be about where SoMD ends or starts.

Welcome to the FPN! I used to live on the panhandle -- BEAUTIFUL country.

Yes, Western MD is beautiful.

      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
