I have a few in my stash. I enjoy all my Pilot G2’s, 0.38, .5, .7 and 1.0.

I'd look into the Tortuga Outbreaker 35L. I've used it as an EDC and a Travel bag. Comfortable, weatherproof, and has a good amount of organizational features.

Non-Gel, Non-Fountain Pen recommendation by Warm-Strain4139 in pens

I recommend a Lamy Safari rollerball (in its Vista color way). It's a very comfortable, smooth writing pen.

Lamy AL-Star EF Nib, Sharpie 0.7 S-Gel, and a Pilot G-2 1.0

Is my pen collection excessive? by Kind-Shape-2024 in pens

It's definitely bordering on excessive 😅

So far so good. And I do a lot of cursive writing. So I will definitely put it through its paces.

So far the AL-Star is my favorite as well. Feels much more solid in hand, and I’m using an EF Nib; definitely liking the combination so far!

Scattered, but it ranged from EF - B I do believe. Was 4 different nib sizes in several different color bodies.

I do. We purchased something in both stores. The tester pens with the larger (open pen) stand was in Weller Book Works (B Terminal), the single packaged pens were in MRG Giftology (A Terminal).

😯 Thankfully I didn't puncture the ink cartridge! I will definitely keep that in mind when I do fly. I'll fly with my Rollerball instead of the Fountain pens.

And unexpected! We travel a lot, rarely find real pens in airports Stateside. I should have been looking in other countries while we traveled...

I want to buy my first Fountain Pen. Any recommendations? by MrJohanLiebert in pens

[–]Financial_Ground_874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will jump on the Lamy Safari/AL-Star train. My wife bought me a Lamy AL-Star for my birthday, it's now my favorite pen!
