Well Met From Germany!


Xozzen

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

 

This is not my first post, but I guess I should introduce myself anyway now!

 

 

I'm a student from Germany and in recent months/the recent year became more and more interested in fountain pens!

 

My collection is fairly small and I am not trying to get a big collection, rather get a few pens which I really really like.

 

At the moment I am trying to save up for my first "big purchase", probably a 300+ euro pen, but it will be a few months till I get there. When I get there, I will show it though.

 

Thanks for reading!

 

 

PS: How do I change my profile picture?

That's how it all begins...

Yea maybe my opinion on the whole collection-issue will change over time...

 

I'm studying dentistry and currently in my 4th year.

 

At Mike: Thanks, whenever I try it it says member_profile_disabled though and nothing happens. Are there any restrictions?

Welcome !

 

Which fountain pen do you currently like best for daily writing ? Which characteristics would you change ? (Merely guiding your thinking to aid in choosing the next pen.) €300 can buy more than one excellent fountain pen. Do you have any in mind ?

I found out about myself that I prefer a bit finer lines, for one because I don't use ink-resistant paper so broader nibs tend to feather a bit more, but also I prefer it in general.

My daily writers are a Sheaffer 300 and my newly acquired MB 3-42, and I have a Lamy Safari which I will probably use a lot when it arrives at my doorstep. I remember having one of them when I was younger aswell, but unfortunately it's lost now.

 

The ones I have in mind for "expensive" ones are the Sailor 9, Marlen le Reve, Sailor Yosegi, Delta Romeo & Juliet Forever and Delta Papuasi or Bribri or Delta Dreidel. I had my sights on the Visconti Salvador Dali aswell, but I find the steel nib combined with general "unreliability" of visconti pens a bit of a stretch for me for what is still a pen so expensive that most people would call me crazy.

 

On the incredibly expensive side, I love the Montegrappa Muhammad Ali.

      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
