As so many of us, i'm always dreaming of a new pen. THE PEN I haven' t yet but I really want.

After having worked hours and hours to find that formula, it's now ready for each of you. Perhaps it can help you to explain to your wife or husband how il goes :

n + 1 is the correct formula. N being the number of Fountain pens you already have .....

What´s your " +1" ?

Personnaly, I've seen a Faber Castell Ambition on Ebay and still am in love with the Dupont Defi .... And you ?

I'm quite happy with what I have at the moment and would like to think I could go the rest of the year with out buying another pen. I just spent about £60 an M200 so the vast majourity of this years pen fund is spent. However I do have two pens on my list that I would like to buy perhaps early next year to satisfy my crave for the weird and wonderful a Pelikan Twist

 

 

As well as a Worther Compact Fountain pen.

 

 

 

I think I need to buy some more inks before more pens know.

Next thing on the list is a Pilot Falcon.... but I'm still unsure if I want the extra-fine nib or just the fine. And I'm also unsure if I want to pay the premium for a metal falcon. Looks nicer, especially in this burgundy red and it fits the CON-70...

If I had the money right now, I might go for a Platinum 3776. Nakayas look amazing too but definitely out of my reach. But I think I am satisfied with my current collection(?) now, since it has grown exponentially in the recent months and I feel it's getting a little out of hand.

A Pelikan M200 why? I would like a Piston filler that lasts so that rules a TWISBI so I guess I will have to save up for some time (a few months) for a Pelikan.

Can't go wrong with a M200, more or less my favourite pen.

I have been looking at a Nakaya Long Cigar in Aka-tamenuri with a broad nib. That might take some saving though.

I've got me an itch that can only be scratched with some ebonite. And flex! I'm thinking a new Edison just might be in the cards.

Taccia Savanna Special Edition - probably a medium nib since these seem to run a bit fine

Still pondering a Pilot Prera with a F nib in yellow. Mostly because I want to try out a non-western F, but also because I feel like something more colorful than my usual pens.

There's quite a few pens I've been considering. Like top pen said, I love colorful and weird pens so I really want to look into the Pelikan Pelikano Jr, Pelikano, and Twist. I've also been eyeing a VP and an M200.

 

Last week at the Cincinnati FP meetup, a nice gentleman loaned me a TWSBI 580 Diamond and Vac 700. I've been really enjoying writing with those as well but I'm not so sure about the filling. I can't fill them from sample vials, since the diameter is too large, and it seems silly to buy extra bottles just to fill a few pens.

 

Oh and I tried a Faber Castell Loom at my local brick and mortar that I loved as well.

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
