Hi! I'm Erik.

I'm a high school student from Italy who's doing an exchange year in Hannover, Germany. (yeah, Pelikan was here :D )

I've followed FPN and the fountain pen world for about a year and finally I've decided to join this amazing forum.

I just started using dip pens, and I love sending letters to friends.

 

I hope to learn a lot and have a great time here! ;)

Greetings and a warm welcome ! Great to hear you're writing letters to friends, I'm sure the first ones they receive come as quite a surprise.

Retired, twice. Time to do more things, writing being one.

Thank you. What really surprised me is that they like it and always answer me.

I wasn't expecting such enthusiasm from modern teenagers.

Thanks.

Well, I'm here since August and I'll return back to Italy in June. It's amazing to live in another country, with another family, culture, language. I'm attending a high school here (every student has a Lamy Safari or AL-Star, whereas in Italy they are almost unknown). It's difficult to sum it but it really expands your horizons. The main battle this moment is learning German :wallbash: :D

We exchange students are like a family, I've met a lot of interesting people and I'm in contact with them despite they are in USA, Brazil, Finland, China, Australia and New Zealand right now.

Welcome Erik. Enjoy your year in Germany. In my teens I was sent off to a proper English boarding school. It was a bit of a culture shock, but I was out on my own and it was great. Some of the best times of my life. Still keep in contact with friends from 50 years ago today. We are spread all over the world now, and write regularly. Make the most of your time there. You'll keep these memories and hopefully some of the friends for the rest of your life.

All the 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
