Hello to all the good souls of this forum.

 

I am a fairly newbie penman (or pencolyte, penjamin, penvice, you get the sense i hope) form Prague, Czech Republic.

 

Although technically I started using fountain pens at school in the age of 6-7 which has been during the communism before Velvet Revolution (I am 36)

And yes, we were taught cursive at school;)

 

I posess some of the classics, my EDC: TWSBI VAC700R, VAC mini, Diamond mini, Lamy 2000, and two Preppys for muggle colleagues hands @ work

For my manbag, I never go out without OHTO Tasche, and Cult Pens mini by Kaweco and a few cartridges.

As for home journaling and letter writing, the list goes on: Pelikan M1000, M400, MB 149 and another L2K

And then some less used pens (lets call them "currently not inked"): MB Legrand Le Petite Prince, Leonardo Ufficina Italiana Momento Zero, Platinum 3776, Woerther Profile, 2x Noodlers Ahab, Moonman acrylic glass dip nib, and some Cineese stuff.

 

And some small closet full of inks to acompany that: Diamine Asa Blue, Eau du Nile, Robert (Diamine Culet pens sheeny special) Edelstein Aquamarine, Noodlers 54 Mass., 41 Brown, Mao Xi, Black Swan in English Roses, MB Royal Blue, and some Iroshizukus and Shikioris to top that off.

 

For pape, I use Midori MD for journaling, but now tried Elia note (Tomoe River flat bound, great one). For letter writing Midori paper, or Clairefontaine Triomphe. For my manbag a TN with midori and TR inserts.

At work than a Rhodia notebook and (bleep) office paper:)

 

Thanks for having me and in case you have some question regarding the pens, inks and paper and their combinations, feel free to contact me.

 

Jan

 

P.S.: Currently participating in "InCoWriMore" an activity of the mebmers of the FB group of Goulet nation, trying to write at least one letter a day (currently its more like 0,6letter a day)

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland and welcome to FPN! :)

Prague is one of my favorite cities ever, or like I've taken to say, it is one of the crown jewels of Europe. Sadly I haven't had the chance to visit it in years (made several trips there between 2003 and 2007).

Hello Jan, that's quite the collection for a newbie. :thumbup:

 

You should get many years of writing pleasure from those pens.

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

 

I have visited Prague on several occasions over the past 10 years and just love that beautiful city.

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!

hi and :W2FPN: and enjoy your stay. Was in Prague 7 years ago if not more, lovely city and very kind people

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
