Welcome Simon!

 

Your handwriting looks so good - I'm jealous!

 

Traditional I see... Nice pens - what kind of case is that?

Welcome to the Fountain Pen Nuthouse Simon. It's a good site with knowledgable members who are always willing to help. Over time you will become an addict your hand will start to shake, your handwriting will suffer, nightmares of fountain pens will start to fill your nights :bonk: :bonk: . Instead of having a pint you will start holding onto your money just so that you can get that pen you saw......somewhere but you can not remember where. :blink: :drool: :drool:

 

Besides that, Happy New Year, where in Manchester? I lived in Levenshulme for quiet a few years.

Welcome!

 

Great choice of pens! Can you feel the difference in the nibs? Do you prefer one over the other yet?

Welcome to FPN, Simon.

 

Looks like you're well sorted on the pen front (not that there isn't room for more you understand ;)). Next thing to try would be some different coloured inks.

 

Beautiful writing by the way.

Welcome aboard Simon!

 

Really beautiful chinese!!!! Did you write those characters with the Pelikan M805? My gosh! What kind of nib do you have to write that like? I can only wish that I could write chinese like that. Mines look so plain. Yours look so elegant.

Wow! Talk about starting off with a bang - two great piston fillers. Writing is very impressive. Glad you're here and hope to see you around. Welcome!

Welcome Simon,

 

What kind of ink are you using, it looks really good against the paper. Also are they just normal nibs or did you have them tweaked at all.

 

You have certainly started here with a bang!

 

Happy New Year!

 

Jim

 

Typo edit - as usual :doh:

Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll enjoy it here. I'm just over the Cheshire border not too far from Manchester Airport.

 

For some reason the images aren't working for me. Such a shame, I want to see the lovely writing everyone is talking about.

While I don't quite remember, my family tells me that Abby Hoffman was a cousin of mine. I think he may have been at my Bar Mitzvah (1969) but he wasn't in any of the photo's and I don't remember.

 

We were always aware of where he was when he was "on the lam" but there wasn't any interaction.

 

Who knows!

      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
