Howdy, I'm new to this forum. I love writing in my art journals and bullet journals. And I love writing with fountain pens - since elementary school.

 

In my FP collection I have one Waterman - Black 1980s Exclusive Ideal 18K 750 nib M.

 

From reading this FPN website, I realized today that I need to clean my FPs - duh!

 

I also own a Black 1980s Rhapsody Rollerball pen with felt tip cartridge (dried up)...

 

There are about 5-6 pens in my FP collection.

 

Glad I found this forum!

 

I aspire to a Lamy 25p German FP - someday...

  • Waterman Ideal Exclusive Black Lacquer 18K nib fountain pen.
  • Waterman Man 200 Rhapsody Fiber Tip Mineral Green rollerball.
  • Set: '72 Parker 75 Flighter Deluxe GT Fountain  Pen + '78 Parker 180 Flighter CT Floating Ball / Fiber Tip. 
  • Sheaffer Lifetime Ring Cap, Sheaffer 2d & 3d Gen Pens.

Hello everyone! I am a fountain pen enthusiast from my student days and own a Waterman Expert for some time now. The pen glides on the paper at my slightest hint, and needless to say satisfies me all the time with its smooth flawless performance. I want to go for a Waterman Carene Dlx GT (Gold Nib) and will very much appreciate to know about its performance.

You will not know until you own one but I can say you will not be disappointed.

Don't own a Waterman . . . yet! Have only seen one, my ex--boss owns it and always wanted ME to ink it up.

 

Fast forwarding . . . . I want a "real" flex nib fp. From what I have been reading today a vintage Waterman (1970 or older) is the way to go. Hopefully I will be able to find one before the year is out.

I finally got to this topic thread only to find that there haven't been any 'new' postings.  Oh well, here I go.  I purchased a 'Pretty Blue' fountain pen that came in a lovely blue box with generic information about several different types of Waterman writing products in multiple languages, including how to use my new purchase. The stationery shop is no longer in business sadly.   I love this pen, it's 14k medium nib is a soft, smooth writer so I can easily use it for quite awhile. It was modestly priced if my memory is correct.

      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
