Hello From Indiana

[mortisd28]

I just got into fountain pens at the beginning of this year. Prior to that, I was trying to do calligraphy, but found the dip pens to be a bit of a pain.

 

I am now trying to repair/restore a few pens. I'm currently looking for a feed for a Waterman Stalwart. Any pointers would be welcome!

 

I've been lurking a few places (mostly here and Reddit). I figured I should actually join the community. There's so much good information here! Unfortunately, I've found I don't even know what questions I should be asking. For example, if I had done more research, I would have known not all Waterman 14kt nibs are flexible. I bought the Waterman because I REALLY wanted a vintage flex. Turns out it comes with a 2A nib, which I guess isn't exactly what I was looking for.

 

I'm looking forward to spending even more time and money on this great hobby/obsession!

Hello and welcome to FPN

Welcome !

 

The biggest step is admitting that your don't know. Afterward, you start to learn.

Please don't ask me about repairing your Waterman. I don't know. All my sucessful

repairs are done with a credit card.

 

So, why do you want a "flex" nib ? Would your style of writing actually benefit ?

(Mine wouldn't.) Frankly, how do you want your writing to appear ? Ask the

membership for suggests to achieve it.

 

FPN is a wonderful resource of experienced people who share generously.

(Be patient. Some of the "grumpy" ones are the most helpful.)
