Visited the FPH when I was in NYC last year. Great thrill for a boy from OZ to see the wide range and types of fps and to be amongst lots and lots of fps.

 

Melbourne is a city of 4.5m+ and there are three pen shops in the cbd. None compare to FPH or to the Vancouver Pen Shop that I visited on same trip to the US and Canada.

Great! Thanks for posting this. FPH is only a few blocks from my office and I have the pleasure of being able to pop in there at lunchtime and visit whenever the mood strikes me for more ink and just to bask in all the fountain pen glory. I've bought many pens from there over the last 10 years or so.

The staff there are friendly and helpful.

This is wonderful! I hope I can visit FPH some day soon. I found the little tidbit about Ms. Brown to be very interesting.

Beautiful photographs by Caitlin. Ochs. Story was too,short, way too short. Could have gone on for days with a tour of the shop and examining the work done there and the inks selections and, well, you know, everything we want to read about and see in pictures but that the editors apparently don't care about.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

      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
