Thanks for accepting me. Newbie trying to find my way around. Picked up some cheap pens from China. Pen shop about 50 miles away, if it is still in operation. Will have to try and visit one day. Haven't noticed anything in flea markets or antique stores.

I've been collecting fountain pens for a little while now (couple months) and I've been going crazy for them. Started out with a Metro in F, was kinda unhappy with the fineness and capacity and ink leaking into the cap (still a great pen) and eventually upgraded to a TWSBI 580AL, anodized to Rose, i...

Hi! My first fountain pen was a gift-- a nice little piston-fill Pelikan. I used it heavily at first but I ended up storing it for more than a decade. European nibs are wider than I like, and piston-fills are a pain to deal with. The first pen I bought for myself was a Lamy Safari; it was a very p...

Hello from Sacramento! I re-discovered fountain pens about nine months ago, stumbling upon Pilot Metropolitans on huge discount at the UC Davis bookstore. I bought all they had, which was a sign of things to come. For a few months, I acquired Plumix and Preppys and Varsitys semi-compulsively before...

Hi all! Thanks for an awesome forum with great tone and veritable wealth of information. Bought a fountain pen for my 10y.o. son recently in an effort to help him improve his handwriting - he's a leftie with ligament laxity. So far his Lamy Nexx with LH nib plus advice from me re grip and paper...

Hello From The New Guy, And A Few Simple Questions Google Didn't Answer.
Jumpmonkey posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hey all! I'm quite new, have done some research, but am still learning what questions to ask and how. So I'm having a difficult time finding what I imagine to be some very simple answers. For starters, I think the pen dries out quickly, but, maybe it doesn't? If I set the pen down, with the cap... -

So my dad got into fountain pens, and the first thing I did was of course steal all of them. He bought me the two I'm using now so I can't recall the brand, but I have a flex nib and a narrow nib. They're good quality and durable thankfully- I'm the only one in my high school who uses fountain pens...

Happy be here. New member. Big fan. Was sad when the site was down. Got hooked and bit by the fountain pen recently and have put together a decent collection over a few months by reading everything I can find--including on this forum--and watching YouTube. Shout out to Stephen Brown. Thanks for all...

Looking forward to recieving my first order from Goulet and really starting to enjoy fountain pens in all their glory! I recently bought a used Parker 61 (i think) and am looking to expand my...
