Architectural Ironmongery Consultant - working with architects to schedule hardware (then supply) for doors. Work with small to large architectural practices in the UK for projects of varying sizes from single residential properties to large commercial towers and everything in between.

 

I have only come across 2 other fountain pen users, one with an L2K that I asked to try out (and was suitably impressed, so that has gone on my must havelist), but always have my trusty P25 italic and TWSBI 580 1.1mm stub to hand for the process of note taking during meetings and occasionally I get remarks about the pens and my writing, but have failed to convert anyone as yet - give me time though...

I produce and publish audio books, radio plays, and other audio content. I’m the only one at work who uses a fountain pen. In fact, I may be the only one who uses pen and paper at all (it’s very digital around here). I don’t come across as quite the oddball, though, because most people here in Germany still learn to write with a fountain pen in school.

Door Stop Salesman. I think I am the only door stop salesman using fountain pens. Matter of fact I think I am the only door stop salesman out there.

 

I do portraits in pen and ink on the side mostly pets.

      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
