Mobin-Sahib, welcome, and you have joined a group where people appreciate the art of actually writing with a fountain pen.

I am Indian, but, my Mausi is married to a gentleman who is originally from Bhawalpur, and they now live in Lahore.

Do you see the image of the vintage car as my profile picture? The registration plate says 'BWP 1' meaning 'Bahawalpur 1'. The car belonged to the Nawab of the princely state of Bahalpur during the pre-partition era of British Raj.

Thank you, Sid, for such a gracious welcome. Yours is a beautiful country. And now you have family and a new friend in Pakistan. :)

It's a beautiful car. Is it yours?

Khan-Sahib, it is a beautiful car, and it is great that it belonged to the Nawab of Bhawalpur.

 

Mobin-Sahib- thanks for your kind comments.

Welcome, Mobin !

 

I, too, enjoy writing. I shave with a Rolls Razor, that came into my family sixty years ago.

Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.
Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:
Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

Hello Sasha. Now the Rolls users show true commitment to the art. My daily driver for the past 8 months has been a much modern Merkur Futur... in gold :unsure: . It was on sale and I just couldn't resist myself.

      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
