Who Posts Their Pen For Men?

[Tseg]

I am not a pen poster. Period. But in recent weeks I've found myself enjoying writing with a posted Pen for Men. Out of my several dozen pens this is one of few I post, the others being some quite small vintage pens which I rarely use. For me, my PFM III feels more balanced to write when posted... or maybe it is a weight thing? I love this pen, one of the better writers in my collection.

 

Who here is particularly fond of posting their PFMs?

[corgicoupe]

Not I.

[silverlifter]

Always. The cap of my PFM II is always posted when I write; it is perfectly balanced.

[langere]

Exactly! The pen, I think, is meant to be posted. The perfect balance then.

Nope, not me. It is plenty big with out posting.

[Bobby Check]

always

[TheDutchGuy]

I post it, except for the occasional quick scribble. The PFM-III is too small for my hands to use unposted. Great pen, by the way.

[mitto]

Always.

[jmccarty3]

Always. Otherwise, it's way too short for my hand.

[donnweinberg]

I tend not to post any FPs, except the small "pocket" pens. So, I don't post my PFMs.

[sansenri]

I don't post my PFM either

[crescentfiller]

I always post my PFMs, as well as my Legacy pens. The PFM is such a relatively lightweight pen, the cap seems almost necessary.

But heck, I post all fountain pens, including my MB 149s. I prefer the posted length and the weight distribution.

[Uncial]

Always, but then I avoid pens I can't post

[RogerRamjet]

My PFM and Sheaffer Sentinel I post. My newer pens I do not post.

[dhanks]

I post my PFM I. It feels perfect in my hand once it's posted. Unposted, not so much.

I post my Legacys. They are better weighted that way, but if I am writing for a long time, I take the cap off because the cap seems to go flying when I get worked up about what I'm writing. Then, I remember not to post.

[MCWB]

I don't post my pen for men. I'm not that into them TBH. I post my pen for me.

[dhanks]

I don't post my pen for men. I'm not that into them TBH. I post my pen for me.

 

Good one!

I just purchased a PFM III the other week so I'm getting used to it. I don't normally post a pen unless it's very short or has balance issues. As I was expecting, the PFM is not petite. I've not felt the need to post it. I might try it, but I think with its already considerable girth, extending it might increase the likelihood of it becoming fatiguing to use for longer writing sessions.

Try posting it. You'll like it. The PFM III has a light plastic cap so it won't be top heavy or fatiguing.
