Hello From Missouri

It just occurred to me that I haven't yet done my introductory post so ...

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm Judy and as the title says, I live in Missouri and I'm relatively new to my love of writing with fountain pens. I started my journey in 2014 so I'm still learning my likes/dislikes. What I do know is that I love blue ink the best and my three favorite pens (at the moment) are Aurora Optima Mare LE, Pelikan M605 Marine Blue, and Pelikan M620 Grand Place (a very new addition to my small(ish) pen collection and one that I've waited three long years to find).

 

I'm shellseeker93 on IG too, but I feel it's only fair to warn you that I mostly post photos of my cat.

 

Great to be here!

 

Judy

Hello Judy 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!

Hello everyone!

 

Greetings from St Louis, Missouri!

 

So nice to "meet" someone else from Missouri. I'm in Columbia and obviously I know I'm not the only person in the state who loves fountain pens since we now have our own pen show, but I don't know any others so ...

Welcome from Down Under.

Words flowing from the soul and conveyed to paper, require the touch of a fountain pens soft carress.Distinct and individual like a lovers touch.

      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
