Hi all. I was wondering where could one get Faber Castell pens in Pune? I was looking at buying the Loom but I'd rather buy it in person as the online sellers dont have nib sizes listed plus they take a lot of time to deliver. Anyone has any idea where I could get one in Pune in a real store? Does William Penn stock FCs? Because their site doesnt show them. Thanks!

Hi friends! I've been gradually getting deeper and deeper into this world o' fountain pens since giving my first Lamy Safari a shot two years ago. I finally wrote a post on my own blog about the hobby and what fountain pens mean to me and why I like them, which necessitated some pictures. So I busted out my camera and tried to get all pretty-like with some of my gear. All of what you see below is also in the blog post. Hope you enjoy these first attempts. Feedback and advice greatly appreciated. And thanks to all for the mountains of info I've gleaned as a long-time lurker here on FPN. Wouldn't have enjoyed the beginnings of this fanaticism wonderful hobby without you all! -The Idle Expatter (AKA Steve B.) My overall favorite ink, J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite.
