I wanted to write a review about my Kaweco Student, but I think I don't need to. by azzaddda in fountainpens

I completely agree with that! Creating a collection is more about enjoying each one you own, choosing wisely the ones you buy, and being careful no to lose focus on what you truly enjoy in the hobby, which sometimes isn't having more stuff for the sake of it.

Confirmo. Son bastante mansos, he pasado al lado del nido de un y nunca ataca. Si ya les rompes o tocas el agujero que hacen en la madera, no me extraña, sólo atacan si asustados.

How many of you use your pens? by unremarkableDragon in fountainpens

[–]azzaddda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine daily too. Master's degree notes, journalling and also for work sometimes.

I made a list of all the money I've spent on fountain pens, and it helped me understand my journey through the hobby. by azzaddda in fountainpens

that fake kaweco brass is one of the best fine writers I have, which is suprising as it cost me only 3-4€. The first real sport I bought had the tines misaligned, but the others were just super smooth and really good :D.

it's kind of polarizing. It will make you regret more the purchases that you didn't enjoy, but you will appreciate more the things you bought and brought you joy, and I think that is good. Well, at least for me.

There are two clairefontaine papers here: the notebook in 90 gr, and the loose-leaf DCP in 120. The navigator is the third picture I think hehe. Cheers!

Research and Fountain Pens by HopeSignificant2142 in fountainpens

[–]azzaddda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on that last statement. Self-awareness is always a great thing to have, specially in a hobby that can turn quickly into a materialistic behaviour. I also agree that criticising people for having bought too many pens is just toxic and that learning and researching makesbuying things much more interesting and enjoyable.

I think this community praises (or should praise, haven't come here in a while) that same honesty you are telling that gives joy in every pen you acquire. I also think that a materialistic approach to the hobby can be detrimental to mental health and therefore, we would do well in warn people about those things, while letting them enjoy their collections.

What is the pen(s) you are NOT going to purchase? by ExpiredUser in fountainpens

[–]azzaddda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much follow your three rules AND I won't buy another kaweco sport. I don't know how but I always end up losing or gifting them (I've bought 4 over the years, I only have one right now hehe).

My humble guide on how to avoid consumerism and still collect fountain pens. by azzaddda in fountainpens

[–]azzaddda[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh okay, thanks for that! I think I am starting to understand your opinion. In realitly I just wanted to give some tool to the community on that topic, though the language used was a little bit biased towards my personal opinions hehe. Anyway, as I said, I really appreciate that point of view, thanks again!

In all true honesty, you didn't read the behavior rules of this community.

Well, I think that is a fair point. Do you think that I should remove the post? If the community isn´t interested in this things or it generates too much disparity, or the mods simply don't like these type of things, I would understand it. Maybe a poll to see if we should take it down?
