Well, due to a cancelled holiday, I had a bit of extra spending money.
So, today I ordered a Twsbi Eco, a Twsbi diamond 580, and a few parker, pelikan, and waterman converters.

I hope the excitement doesn't make my head explode before they arrive!

Totally worth getting all these nice pens to compensate cancelled holiday! Great acquisition! :D

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

Pelikan from 50's with OM...exciting!

 

Very nice! I have a 400 with an OB nib. Don't know why I don't use it more. I think that after I get back from vacation it needs to go back into rotation. It's the striated green binde, so I'm thinking maybe Edelstein Smoky Quartz or 4001 Violet would be nice choices.

I ordered a Visconti Metal Opera True Black earlier this week and it arrived today.

In the box was alsof a small Fontoplumo tote/bag,

a nice eyecatcher.

More important of course, is the pen, a F nib, a very nice wet writer, it writes like a dream.

      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
