Hi im new to this forum and (fountain) pens itself. I wanted to buy me a nice one since i only had mostly ballpens or really bad fountainpens to write with. I want to make an investment to last but im not sure to buy, i have reas about a bit but i wanted to ask you what you guys think about this model, waterman carene, its on ebay right now but i dont know if its the right pen for me? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251501908412?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Can you please tell me what you guys think? Thanks

 

Hi "i like pens"!!!

 

There is a topic called "The Pens you cannot kill"... You've said that you want to make an investment to last... My "highlander pen", was a Parker 15... I used it DAYLY during 25 years and stop to use, because I gave it to my son... MONEY don't buy durability...

 

I think that you FIRST FP, MUST be a not so expensive one. There are a big list of excellent options.

 

By brand:

 

Parker: Parker IM (current) / Parker 45 Flighter (vintage)

Sheaffer: Sheaffer Prelude (current) / Sheaffer Targa 1001 (vintage)

Waterman: Waterman Hemisphere

Pelikan: M200

Pilot: Pilot Prera

Platinum: Platinum Niam

 

and so forth...

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!!!

Yep, playing with my Ahab

 

I didn't flush the pen out, I just added in the discarded blues.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

@Uncle Red.

This Music nib looks interesting (the pen too, very nice).

I never wrote with a Music nib before.

How would you describe writing with a Music nib?

Is it similar to a flexible stub?

It's quite nice, if only for short stints, as I said : the inkflow can't really keep up at times, but that isn't too much of an issue as I'm not reallt planning on doing marathon writing sessions with it. .

The pen was very cheap ( €10.00 ) so I could afford to experiment with it.

 

I actually bought it on a whim, just like the purple Waterman ink, so it's almost they were made for each other

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Playtime with sheeny inks! And no, I didn't buy that eBay pen because for $10 even I could deduce that was too much to pay for essentially nothing that could be used.

Well, I think you already know this pen but it had a nib plastic surgery from Mr. Pendleton Brown, really good. Thanks Mr. Brown.

Sinistral, I like that Adventurine. We have got to try it in the next fade tests. Dont' throw out sheets like those, just mail 'em to me.

 

PenRivers, wow it writes beautifully. Congrats!
