🖋️ My Tiny, Beginners Fountain Pen Collection : dustdaughter.micro.blog

@dustdaughter Tiny, you say?

That seems like a lot of fountain pens, but I guess not by FP people standards. 😇

I feel like I have a lot with 3 vanishing point/decimos, 4 TWSBis, and 2 Safaris.

@toddgrotenhuis Yeah, the FP folks on YouTube and Instagram have so many pens they’ve lost track of what’s in their collection. I don’t have that problem, so I consider this tiny!

If I could start over, I would probably get a lot more TWSBIs.

@dustdaughter So many colours! I’ve had my eye on the TWSBI Ecos, though I kinda want to just put all available FP money towards a Lamy 2000. Just love the look of it.

@AngeloStavrow Lamy’s are great. Great writing experience right out of the package. That is a dilemna - buy one great pen that’s a bit beyond the budget or get several more affordable ones.

@AngeloStavrow It’s not quite need but you really want another pen. So do I!

@pimoore all of the so called qc issues in the past have been bullshit. A lot of people think it’s related to how the hooded nib can require some practice to get used to the best way to angle it

@pimoore @dustdaughter @hjertnes The only article I’d read that indicated anything was a nib issue, that was rectified by essentially getting it polished: www.penaddict.com/blog/2013…

@hjertnes I think you’re right. I assumed mine was faulty at first, but as a lefty it just took a little getting used to. That said, it is a little fussy about positioning. / @pimoore

@pimoore been rumors about it many times. Brian Goulet did a video on it years ago.

His impression based on sales and feedback to Gouletpens was that there aren’t a quality control issue but rather about the nib being a little bit difficult to get used to

@dustdaughter that’s one cool collection

@Munish Thanks!
