Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?

[TeaHive]

My Edison Nouveau Premiere in Lilac arrived today, and it is lovely! But the next pen will likely be an Edison Beaumont in Bedrock--I had come up with an idea for a Scriptorium pen that looks nearly identical to it. And then I saw the Edison version when I bought the Premiere from Goulet. So, even getting it with the 18k gold nib, it would be slightly cheaper than the custom design I was thinking of. The only differences would be the cap finial being slightly longer, were I to get the Scriptorium version, and I thought of getting a copper clip and cap band. But I like the gold-tone Edison version, it turns out.

 

Still need to get my bee-themed Scriptorium pen, though. Sigh.

Thought I was done for the year...

 

Good joke.

 

It looks like a pre 2010 Parker Sonnet nib is on the way as well as followed by a Matte Black GT Sonnet with either a reverse oblique or Medium stub nib.

I saw it yesterday on stylo.ca website. It looks great .......

 

Well, I ended up picking the B nib, just to be different. The pen has made it Stateside as of a few days ago, and supposedly had made it through Customs. But I haven't had any updates from the USPS since then; the most updated info on their tracking website says

"Your item has been processed through our sort facility in ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at 6:42 pm on April 6, 2015."

Just for curiosity's sake I Googled "ISC New York NY" and found some web forum where someone had a package stuck there for a couple of months and describing it as "some sort of customs black hole". That person said "ISC New York" stands for "You Are Screwed".... There are 11 more pages of similar posts.... I hope that they don't see the Ebay seller's listing where it said the ETA was between April 8 and April 24.... and treat my poor pen accordingly (i.e., "Well, the seller says to expect it by the 24th -- so how long can we hold on to it and still make the 4:30 delivery time on the 24th....?"

I don't think the Postal Service CARES what the expected delivery date is. I received a package this morning that was "supposed" to arrive two days ago & there was no tracking shown since three days prior. Yet today it showed up: safe & sound ( without I suppose ever being tracked for three days?) Seems strange to me........ I really think "sometimes" things are indeed tracked BUT sometimes they are JUST not!

Just back from holidays and still want a Visconti Wall Street as next pen ......

I know, I've just said that one of my next pen should be the Wall street from Visconti ..... But I've ordered a Noodler's Ahab Flex Fountain Pen - Pima Tortoise from Goulet 5 minutes ago ....... The price is lower .....

I have been looking at a Nakaya Long Cigar in Aka-tamenuri with a broad nib. That might take some saving though.

 

+1. I would want that broad nib stubbed, however, and I would want the vermeil goldfish roll stopper with ruby eyes.

Newbie here. So I was thinking Twsbi next. But I've been looking at some old threads. So then I started thinking maybe Pilot Elite or Stella. And then I saw it - Sailor Sapporo or Pro gear slim Purple. It's so pretty. It has good reviews,being a Sailor and all. Some thought it to write a little wet which I am not sure if I'll like. However, I'm considering going EF and feel it will need to be wetter. Any thoughts? Should I have posted this else where? o I was thinking Twsbi next. But I've been looking at some old threads.

I've been eyeing the Pilot E95s...might buy the older version first though. Anyone have any experience with ether?

[Thier.]

I found that ...... It could help you ......

I have an E95s with an EF nib. It's a nice smooth writer, well made, but (by design) rather compact. If you post it, it's suitable for a larger hand, but it doesn't weigh much. Doesn't hold much ink either, but for me that's OK, because I like to change inks with almost every fill.

[lionheartlee]

I'd say I have average hands. And also being new to FP I change inKS a lot. I only have experience with m and b nibs though

[Vgimlet]

I thought a gunmetal Platinum Plasir was going to be my next pen after payday but shockingly enough, my husband surprised me last week (after a horrible day, might I add) with flowers and a brand new black Neponset music nib pen.

 

When he got the e-mail last week they were in stock at Goulet pens he jumped at the chance. Which was really amazing because we have been being a bit conservative with our money the last few months due to some crazy expenses. If I'd been the one to recieve that e-mail I would have regretfully let it pass (this time).
