Hello all ...

 

I recently have been infected with this terrible germ (fountain pens!) ... Starting a small collection of pens, tools, etc.

 

I'm a renaissance type of person and after careers as a musician/composer, technologist on Wall St., I'm now a school teacher living on the beautiful Maine coast with a wife, 1 fat blue cat, 2.5 horses, 2.5 goats, 2 passed greyhounds, and one new muttpuppy with no name AND:

 

1 1997 apprx. MB Meisterstuck 146

1 LAMY Vista w/ converter

1 KawecoSport Ice (orange) converted to an eyedropper

 

As I spend and have spent so much time producing words electronically I find it very enjoyable to have dusted off my cursive, but am still struggling to make hand writing as productive. I'm realizing it is its own reward I guess.

 

Looking forward to uncovering this network ...

Weclome !

 

Your wife should know that the fountain pen infection will, eventually, matastasize, and all will be hopeless.

Meanwhile, add an Airedale Terrier, a Parker 51, and lever-action Winchester rifle.

Write with joy.

Welcome!

 

FP's are a great incentive to polish your cursive technique, I know fp's certainly have been a positive influence in my writing style.

 

Best,

      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
