Warm welcome Alves.

I hope you enjoy reading around the forum (and participating in discussions!)

 

You have a fine selection of pens and inks. Especially the Faber-Castells are beauties!

Hello Alves and :W2FPN:

 

That is already a serious collection.

 

And, judging from the various inks, all are being used??....

Welcome! Nice collection. I look forward to chatting about pens and ink with you in the future.

May your ways be green and golden, and the wind be at your back.

Thank you all for the warm reception. Many of my pens are filled up with the Aurora Black just for testing; after reading many posts here I learned that there are "wet" and "dry" inks. I'd say that Aurora is too wet and flows too fast; my daily use notebook doesn't like it. The Faber Castell in parquet finish is filled up with Sheaffer Brown (just to match the colors).

It's an interesting task to test which ink works best in each pen.

I am now looking for a new pen (interested in a Lamy Vista demonstrator) to be used with J. Herbin red.

Welcome !

 

Yes, Aurora Black is very wet and very black. One of my favorites.

A warm welcome to FPN, Alves!

 

It's fun trying to determine the best pen, paper, and ink combination.

 

It may also be why my ink and paper collection keeps growing, too. ;)

 

We're glad to have you here and how you enjoy your time on FPN.

      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
