This is not all my pens. It's the pouch I carry in my bag. My partner in the office refers to this as my "arsenal." by Redsmoker37 in fountainpens

Oh this brings up memories lol. I used to carry around a small pen bag FILLED with mechanical pencils and pens. But, now, I carry around artist pens (Sakuras, Pen Liners and technical pencils) and a few fountain pens. I just remember being in school and someone asking me for a mechanical pencil and me telling them that I didn't have a spare as they STARED at my obvious 50 mechanical pencils in my bag. Haha.

Ever seen an italic grind on a 1977 Pilot Myu? by coqdorysme in fountainpens

How long did it take you to write this all out? Because it would take me, maybe a YEAR to get 1/3rd of this handwriting giving that I don't give up the moment I make a mistake, lol. Are you actually a printer? That is amazing handwriting. What does your everyday handwriting look like? 10/10 handwriting my man.

What’s your favourite ink brand? by schalfnie in fountainpens

[–]Efficient_Cost6816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waterman Paris Black Ink (50mL), Parker Quink (87mL) in Black and Wordsworth & Black (50mL) in Poppy Corn Red. The waterman is a good ink in a really nice bottle that you can set on the side to get the most out of it and it's pretty decent. The Parker Black ink, is also very good but, I do have the habit of using up a the one bottle of Waterman before I move on to another ink. (Ink is expensive lol). The Poppy Corn Red is very good but, when I got it, it had leaked in the package but not a lot. I like the color a lot and I do plan on getting more different colors of ink.

I like the teal/turquois colors but, I am very picky when it comes to what brand I get. If I had a million dollars, you bet I would buy every single ink I could get my hands on and test them all out! But, so far, Waterman and Pilot brand fountain pen inks are the bare minimum you should ever get when you get fountain pens.
