How's it going everyone! MY name is Jon and I just got into fountain pens about 6 months ago. I have always liked writing with rollerballs more, and was curious about fountain pens before deciding to just get a cheap one. So far I have 6 pens: A Lamy Safari Neon Yellow limited edition with a Fine nib A Jinhao x450 Red/Black that leaks from the section and I don't use anymore A Jinhao x750 Shimmer Sands that I absolutely love A Waterman Kultur Demonstrator Fine nib that despite being the hardest starter in the world, is still my favorite A Kaweco Sport Ice Green medium nib and a Noodler's Charlie eyedropper that came with Noodler's Heart of Darkness. I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM I DO NEED YOUR HELP WITH!!! To all those who purchase/ have purchased expensive fountain pens, how do I justify buying a $400 dollar pen when my most expensive one so far has been a Lamy Safari? How do I justify $400 by itself for a single pen?!? I really want an Omas Ogiva cocktail before they disappear in a few months...

FPN! hello everyone, i wondered what pen to acquire after having a Pelikan M1000? what did u get after getting your M1000

I have been doing some reorganizing of the collection lately and have sold off a large number of underused pens to fund a small number of (hopefully) higher use ones. That said I have faced this problem before with lower value pens, and have yet to solve it: Tomorrow two new pens arrive What do I do? I have already started to create a little space for them in pen cases and such, but do I fill one with a 'writing color' and one with an alternative color? Do I plan to write with both alternating between them from one writing project to the next? I can't see myself leaving one un-inked for any period. It's a nice problem to have, what have you had arrive at the same time, and how do you deal with it?
