Hi there, I'm Idoia from Penspotting. I'm a technology consultant by day and a fountain pen collector and restorer by evenings (and some weekends). Over the years little by little I have fallen in love with the art of writing. 

 

Over the Christmas break I started to share some photos of my collection on instagram and suddenly discovered that there is a whole community of pen lovers out there! It's such a wonderful feeling to suddenly find a tribe that I can feel part of. I am so grateful.

 

As for next steps, I want to start to contribute more, get to know the community and learn. And maybe, just maybe, add a pen or two to the collection!

 

If you fancy giving me some feedback you can find me as penspotting on both IG and YouTube (even though I haven't published my videos yet, need to build up my courage to press the publish button, soon, I promise).

Thanks for your introduction Idoia and welcome. Happy New Year!  Maybe this is your year to hit the button. I am also a recent newcomer. Writing instruments serve an important purpose in my life. An instinct to make marks demands constant attention! I am also eager to learn from the insights and experience of others.

It's a pleasure to welcome a new member with such a desire to contribute.

I hope you enjoy this community.  G

      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
