What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[NewFPU]

I can't stop buying pens! This is my next one along with a bottle of Smoked Topaz ink by Chesterfield.

An Achat from XFountainpens, right? They are great - look great, write great. Congratulations, and enjoy.

(I've got one, too.)

Noblest Black & Gold Ring Special 0.5mm - 1.8mm Bent Nib Calligraphy Fountain Pen coming all the way from Hong Kong.

The X450 Quinate set from xfountainpens. I only wanted three, but it was cheaper to get the set since it contained the two I really wanted and the third I was ambivalent about. All with the standard medium nibs.

A blue Parker Slimfold. Was looking for an affordable way to get into vintage pens and this seemed like a decent option.

A few days ago I ordered a Brightly coloured custom ebonite pen from Ranga Pens in India. i LOVE Indian pens.

I am told it will take 10 days to make and who knows when it will get to me.

 

BUT ... I am patiently waiting. I am VERY excicted to see how it comes out.

LE Lamy Safari in Neon Yellow (fine nib).

I am currently waiting for a Waterman Expert and a few bottles of ink.

[Duro]

I purchased a Pilot desk pen that has a Japanese Extra-Fine (I'm hoping it's fine enough for my taste, so far I've been unhappy with every fine nib I've tried)

I'm also waiting on a Fountain Pen Revolution Dilli (my first attempt at a flex pen) and a cheap Baoer pen that is a clone of the Mont Blanc Starwalker Fountain Pen (I currently own a real Starwalker, but it's a ballpoint. I figured it would be fun to play around with the chinese clone of the FP version before I set aside the money to purchase the real deal in order to complete the set)

[arkan15]

A complete Pilot Parallel set + 12-color cartridge pack, and a blue FPR Dilli pen with flex nib

[JulesSilvan]

An Osmiroid india ink drawing set, one of the later made ones from the 1980's (I think, it has 4 easy change nibs).

[Guernseytim]

These four arrived in the post today :-/

 

In order they are:

 

Faber-Castell Basic Carbon Black with an EF nib - writes nicely

 

Something purporting to be a Jinhao 1200 with an 18k nib. Bought cheap off ebay and it's very ostentatious - maybe something for the desk as I work in substance misuse and it may seem a bit bling, despite the price tag! lol. Not sure if it is a real jinhao but it writes extremely nicely so I am happy, whatever it is.

 

Lamy Al Star Special Edition Black with a M nib (installed a converter and sucked some waterman South Sea Blue ink into it) - writes better than any parker duofold I have ever owned.

 

Lamy Safari Special Edition Neon Yellow with a F nib - again writes like a charm.

 

Happy with my purchases and I was pleased that cultpens sent me a highlighter for 8p, a free Lamy rollerball, and a free stabilo fibre tip to go with the two safaris :-)

TWSBI IS IN THE MAIL!

I sold the Pelikan M1000, after pondering on it for few days it was just too big to be practical and I have no need for a $400 signature pen. The pen was so nice, but it almost looked clown-like in my medium/large sized hand. So I have a Pelikan M800 on order, the smaller nib and body should be more proportionate and practical for everyday use. If I have a $300+ pen I want to be able to use it... a lot...

[chadden42]

I am waiting for a Dilli in blue medium and a Jinhao 159 honesty . .

 

I am especially looking forward to the Dilli because I am not a tinkerer nor do I wish to be; this rules out the TWSBI and Noodler's pens.

[pmhudepo]

TWSBI Diamond 580, 1.1 stub. My first TWSBI, first demonstrator, first proper stub. (Some of my broad nib are at least stubbish.) I wonder where this will lead to...

[Guernseytim]

As I've got a new found appreciation for Chinese ponds I'm expecting a jinao x450 in coral red with a broad nib. Hopefully it's as smooth as my other jinhao pen!!

 

Also awaiting a 10 pen leather case

[Huntsman]

Hopefully a couple of Camlins will arrive from FPR soon.

Waiting for Sailor King of Pen with King Eagle nib
