Hello fellow fountain pen lovers!

Hi,

My name is John...and I'm an early-stage fountain pen addict.

It's been 10 days since my last purchase...🥴

 

Seriously though, I'm excited to join this community and it's shared love of fountain pens!

When I'm not obsessing over fountain pens I work as an architect (stationery addiction is an occupational hazard!) in Brisbane, Australia.

 

I'm looking forward to sharing with fellow stylophiles 🙂

Hundreds of flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
The cool breeze in summer and snow in winter;
If there is no vain cloud in your mind,
for you it is a good season.

Welcome to FPN, John!  That's a nice collection you have. :)

Thanks very much LizEF! ☺️

I keep telling myself "this is the last one"...but I've been saying that since I bought my second pen (the Lamy Safari All Black) 🤪

I suspect joining the FPN isn't going to help my growing obsession! 😁

Nice to see someone else like Rhodia stationary. Good to see you on the forum, John. 

Thanks singlechange! 🙂

The Rhodia helps to bring out the best in the pens ☺️

I've noticed a lot of people like Tomoe...I think I'm going to have to check it out! 😁

      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
