Greetings From The Heart Of Europe, Prague Cz

[rautej1]

Hello to all the good souls of this forum.

 

I am a fairly newbie penman (or pencolyte, penjamin, penvice, you get the sense i hope) form Prague, Czech Republic.

 

Although technically I started using fountain pens at school in the age of 6-7 which has been during the communism before Velvet Revolution (I am 36)

And yes, we were taught cursive at school;)

 

I posess some of the classics, my EDC: TWSBI VAC700R, VAC mini, Diamond mini, Lamy 2000, and two Preppys for muggle colleagues hands @ work

For my manbag, I never go out without OHTO Tasche, and Cult Pens mini by Kaweco and a few cartridges.

As for home journaling and letter writing, the list goes on: Pelikan M1000, M400, MB 149 and another L2K

And then some less used pens (lets call them "currently not inked"): MB Legrand Le Petite Prince, Leonardo Ufficina Italiana Momento Zero, Platinum 3776, Woerther Profile, 2x Noodlers Ahab, Moonman acrylic glass dip nib, and some Cineese stuff.

 

And some small closet full of inks to acompany that: Diamine Asa Blue, Eau du Nile, Robert (Diamine Culet pens sheeny special) Edelstein Aquamarine, Noodlers 54 Mass., 41 Brown, Mao Xi, Black Swan in English Roses, MB Royal Blue, and some Iroshizukus and Shikioris to top that off.

 

For pape, I use Midori MD for journaling, but now tried Elia note (Tomoe River flat bound, great one). For letter writing Midori paper, or Clairefontaine Triomphe. For my manbag a TN with midori and TR inserts.

At work than a Rhodia notebook and (bleep) office paper:)

 

Thanks for having me and in case you have some question regarding the pens, inks and paper and their combinations, feel free to contact me.

 

Jan

 

P.S.: Currently participating in "InCoWriMore" an activity of the mebmers of the FB group of Goulet nation, trying to write at least one letter a day (currently its more like 0,6letter a day)

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland and welcome to FPN!

Prague is one of my favorite cities ever, or like I've taken to say, it is one of the crown jewels of Europe. Sadly I haven't had the chance to visit it in years (made several trips there between 2003 and 2007).

Hi Jan

[mallymal1]

Hello Jan, that's quite the collection for a newbie.

 

You should get many years of writing pleasure from those pens.
