Hello Everyone,

 

This is your old Pal Angelo B., formerly from Chicago now in San Antonio. Well, it's been a crude year or so for us, but I do believe that the worst has past. Since our move here to San Antonio, I lost all of my household goods and personal belongings, lost my new job here and had a terrible X-mas for the kids at home. Almost lost my beloved Estie collection to gather some funds for the Children's Xmas dinner and presents. I have all but 2 of my favorite pens a Black Model J with a flex nib and a Brown J with another flex nib. Out the door went most of my nibs, but thanx to my little treasures we were able to provide an adequate Xmas and were also able to keep the kids going for a few weeks till I acquired a new job. Since the bullet wounds my health suffered a bit but I am fully recovered, I am happy to report. I think that now I should be able to be a contributor again to this great community, and the fact that I was able to buy a computer kinda helps to log in from home, yes the computers went out the door as well.... But so is life, but as the saying goes "...Cogito ergo sum, Dei gratias"... 'I think there fore I am, to God Thanx....

Positive thoughs and vibes are coming your way right as I type this!

 

It is very good to hear you recovered completely, and I do hope that things for you and your family from here on only move forward, in a most positive way.

      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
