Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
I saw that there were some pen threads, but the latest was about 9 years ago, so I thought I'd start another.
Does anyone else enjoy and use fountain pens? A buddy and I started on the slippery slope a couple of years ago, and it sure can be slippery lol! I enoy the craftsmanship, variety, and writing experience. I use them at work, and quickly became known as the "fancy pen guy" at meetings... when the paper comes around to sign, I flick the ballpoint away in disgust and sign with one of my pens hahahaha! I'll post pics of a few of my pens. Show me what you have inked up! Lamy Safari TWSBI Eco-T

Darren, aka SubVet642 in big into fountain pens. He even repaired a few of mine that had been sitting neglected in a drawer for decades.
Don't know where he drifted off to, solid brother. |

Re: Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
I have a couple TWSBI Ecos, one of their SWIPE pens, and I like them. I have a Pelikan 300 that is about 40 years old, but an expensive pen is wasted on me.
Peace of the Lord be with you.

Nice! I have an Eco and a Swipe in my pen tray at work. I bought the Eco with a broad nib and had it custom ground to an architect nib. I love it as it works really well since I typically write in block caps at work so people can read my writing lolol! My Swipe has a stub nib and is kind of like my ink tester - you never know what color I am going to be writing a student call slip with lolol!!!

This seems like something Keith would be all over...
Maybe he'll swing by once he's done blow drying his hair and moisturizing?

Re: Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
A quick update here... assuming I have kicked my bug, I'm going to the San Francisco International Pen Show on Saturday... what can possibly go wrong?
