Hello FPN!

My name is Chris, Im 20 yo, college student in CA (currently in "limbo" at Pasadena City College waiting to transfer to TEXAS), and I love pens

 

This is my first post on the FPN. I just "recently" got into fountain pens so I'm a little bit green but know my way 'round some topics and some pens. I got into FP's after I had a kidney transplant last year and was really bored durning my recovery, at the time I was writing alot of letter to my girlfriend who goes to school at Gonzaga U in Spokane WA. I wanted to "spice" my letters up so bought a Kaweco Sport B. In my boredom I started looking at different aspects of the world....I got hooked

 

My arsenal currently consists of....

 

Pens:

Platinum #3776 Charteres Blue M

TWSBI 580 N

Monteverde Artista Crystal

Lamy Safari

3 Preppys

 

Inks:

Lamy Blue

Pilot Irosh: Kon Peki

Pilot Irosh: Asa Gao

Diamine Denim

Paper:

Thanks for welcoming me into your community.

Ohh thats tough the #3776 is my favorite, but it looks really flashy in the classroom. Thats why I reach for my Charcoal Safari 9/10 times. Also part of the reason why I want the more streamlined Lamy 2000!

      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
