Hello everybody, I'm Sergi from Barcelona (Catalonia) and am fairly new to fountain pens... well that's not completely true. The first time I used a fountain pen was in the nineties with a Montblanc (which I already have but don't use due to it being to broad to me and it having problems with the feed).


But it was a few years ago that I started looking for better ballpoint pens that the ones I used at that time, as well as better pencils. And I ended one year ago treating myself with a Lamy Al-Star in blue, which is so far my most "expensive" fountain pen.


Apart from the Lamy I've got a Pilot MR, a Jinhao 599 and a few Platinum Preppys, but I'd like to expand my "collection" with maybe a Platinum Century or a Sailor Professional Gear, always with a fine line.


That's all for now, and thanks for reading my first post.

Welcome.

Barcelona is one of my favourite cities, if not the favourite.

I found two fabulous fountain pen shops bursting with goodies at the end of the Ramblas near the El Cort Inglés on Carrer de Fontanella.

I think I bought my marvellous and now extinct Mont Blanc Midnight Blue from one of them.

Go play. :)

Welcome, Sergi !

Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.
Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:

Hello Sergi 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
