Hello everyone, this is Rohan from India and I am a new member here( Of course, I'm posting in the Introductions, right?)

I am a college student and hence writing is something I do every day.

I am pretty new to the fountain pen scene, though I have been around them all my life, always found them too much of a hassle: spills and leaks and all, you know. But I decided to give them another shot after entering college, and man, I'm loving it.

Hope to make new friends here, and have a merry time.

Have a good day, folks.

Welcome, Rohan !

 

45 years ago, I used a fountain pen through college. The salvation from hand cramps was a great advantage to me. I have not been without one since. Like anything else, it is necessary to learn and deal with a fountain pen's limitations.

This membership has a vast range of experience, and generous hearts. Do ask questions. You will learn from the answers, and we all learn from the discussions that follow. :thumbup:

 

What do you use for daily writing ?

Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

God knows I need mentoring, the world of fine writing is so freaking vast. I rotate between Platinum Preppy ( my god I love that little plasticky pen), Parker CT, and Pierre Cardin Vienna. Hope to upgrade to a Metropolitan soon.

Hi Rohan, and welcome. I'm new here too. I feel the same way about the platinum preppy. That pen is awesome for the price.

Welcome, Rohan, from Boston, MA, USA.

I'm curious to know something of what the FP culture is like in India, as here they are pretty much a niche phenomenon. I'd heard it was different in India at one time, anyway. Good luck with your pens and your courses.

Hello Rohan and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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
