No longer waiting, items arrived Saturday. I am hoping to start using later today and will break out good camera to take better photos. I need the primary notebook to work on my horrendous penmanship. Both Pilot metropolitan pens, black medium nib, silver fine nib.

In a zip-lock in a back pack ... you don't want ink all over everything in the back pack if it does leak.

Kaweco Liliput in Fire blue with a double broad nib. This one is going to be interesting!

Converter for my Shaeffer No Nonsense, so I can, you know, actually use it. :)

 

C, who's apparently not good with fine print

Oh, I know this of myself

I assume as much for other people

Parker 65, one of those Penbbs pens, TWSBI 580 AL Rose, and the Sheaffer Taranis mentioned here before... Don't know why that isn't here yet.

OOOH....

Of course a pen that small with a nib that broad means you'll be going through ink like crazy -- and refilling a lot....

First pen purchase of 2018 is a Pilot Metro in a fine nib(I always try to keep at least one in my collection because they are my favorites), plus some washi tape & a notebook(Campus)

"Campus" as in the Kokuyo Campus perhaps? Could you report back about the quality of the paper if you remember? I've been wanting to try it out myself.

Ordered two Pilot Pluminix with F and B nibs. Pink and yellow for the body colors.

Went a little bananas today, on the first let alone both. I hemmed and hawed over the Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl for 24 hours, a fair sized splurge for me, but pulled the trigger. A few hours later, I was scanning random brand listings, and stumbled across and got stopped in my tracks by the Pilot Silvern Tsumugi. I’m a sucker for all things sterling and, yeah, it happened.

      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
