I have a bone to pick with you fine folks! Why did nobody warn me just how fast the rabbit hole goes! I'm really, really enjoying my new hobby/obsession. :)

I think collecting stationery items is so enjoyable because we can make use of our collection a bit every day. My stamp's collection, for instance, only exists when I take out my album, but my fountain pen collection is always at hand, ready to be integrated into many little tasks throughout the day.

Notwithstanding the fact that many fountain pen ink colors are jaw-droppingly beautiful.

 

Today I'm using my Yiren with Diamine Sepia sample and my Wing Sung 3008s with Lamy nibs on them.

This one is a 3008 with a Lamy M nib and Pelikan 4001 Blau-Schwarz.

I bought the same Duofold last year, a modern Centennial Black in Fine nib, the first ink I used was Parker Quink blue but it's not my favourite blue at all... anyway, it's a very nice pen, smooth as silk and very classy. Enjoy yours!

 

Cheers,

Thank you Luis!

TWSBI 700R with Montblanc Oyster Grey. Which is my favorite grey ink, purple undertone and behaves so well. But there is something wrong in my Twsbi....

My apologies for another crappy photo. At least this one is not just another one of my boring black pens. My newest acquisition, and gratifyingly the Music nib on this one actually worked with no tinkering required:

Wing Sung 3008 with Lamy F nib and Diamine "Matador" when it gets out of bed with the wrong foot.. Ops, literary translation. I meant to say "when it wakes up on the wrong side of bed."

The dark green 45 and the cordovan brown 51 Demi vacumatic both EF nibs. The 45 is inked with Diamine Sherwood Green and the 51 Demi Diamine Blue Black.

Got Kaweco Sport to try out fountain pens. Plunged right in with the Namiki Yukari Royale. The office staff could care less, but I'm the owner so the heck with them.

That's a beauty of a pen, and it is meant to be used, so I hope you enjoy it in all ways it can provide.

The whole collection got cleaned and, with the exception of two, re-inked today. Ive had the M1000 for about thirteen years, whereas the others have been from the last two months of so.

What is the demonstrator with green caps? It looks like a pilot custom but not one I know.

      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
