Hello From Paris

Hello

 

I use fountain pens for drawings and they are my favourite instruments, i enjoy a lot watching, reading reviews about them, i find it very entertaining and relaxing, i'm more into "workhorse" fountain pens, because i want to use my fountain pens everyday, but i understand people who addictively collects them, the fact that a good fountain pen can be used for years and years becoming a little piece of your history is really awesome, some are real gems and just very pleasant to look too.

 

I have bought a lot of fountain pens based on some reviews here, it is the case of my first indian fountain pen : the jaipur from fpr, Then the maya from Asa (a second one is in process of delivery), twsbi eco, platinum century 3776, some jinhaos ...

 

My favourite one by now is the platinum carbon pen desk, about inks i like a lot the platinum carbon ink black, noodler's bulletproof ones, j-herbin ones for ink wash etc...

 

I am very glad becoming a member of this forum because now i can thank the people about the beautiful reviews they write here. :)

Welcome !

 

Do you have interest in vintage fountain pens ? My Dad's Parker 51 is sixty years old. It functions perfectly, and writes better than most other pens I have used. With a bit of work, a seventy-year-old Esterbrook can bring immense joy of writing. The fifty-year-old, 79¢ Sheaffer school pen is still around in good quantities, and are great writer.

 

There is good reason to expect your Platinum Century 3776 to be used by people three or four generations from now.

 

Write with joy.

Welcome to our little corner of the universe from a pen user in San Diego. I, too, have a desk pen that I use every day. It is just so convenient and has a wonderful balance in my hand.

Of course, i have interest in vintage fountain pens, and precisely because of what you are describing, a pen can be a part of a family history, i envy you and your father, Parker 51 are very beautiful pens indeed.

 

Thanks for the tip, i will look into the Sheaffer pen, this is the kind of vintage look i like the most when we speak about vintage pen.

 

About my fountain pens, i'm very cautious about them because, i want them to be used by my children and my grand children, i hope it can bring them joy and good memories.

 

Best regards,

Greetings!

...The history, culture and sophistication; the rich, aesthetic beauty; the indulgent, ritualistic sensations of unscrewing the cap and filling from a bottle of ink; the ambient scratch of the ink-stained nib on fine paper; A noble instrument, descendant from a line of ever-refined tools, and the luster of writing,
with a charge from over several millennia of continuing the art of recording man's life.

Welcome to the forums! That's pretty much the same reason I joined.

Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress?

      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
