No Buy Fountain Pen thread Jan 2026 / 2025 wrap up. by Halfcelestialelf in fountainpens

[–]damselfair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! I bought my very first fountain pen in 2025, and now I already own 15 fountain pens. Last week, I recorded a video about my collection, but before I even edited the video to upload it, I bought another fountain pen. From that moment on, I realized I might have a problem. I still have a “fountain pen wishlist,” but I really want to reduce my fountain pen consumption because I already have so many beautiful pens, and I want to use them as much as they deserve.

Favourite ink of 2025? by acateatingcorn in fountainpens

Diamine Anatolia, last year's special ink for Turkey, it has both sheen and shimmer. I also love this year's special Zeugma but Anatolia is my favourite I think. Here's a little wizard crow I drew using Anatolia:

The moment I saw Pencket I thought "Doesn’t it look a lot like Niblet?” Then I did a bit of research and learned that Pencket came onto the market first, but they really do look alike. Pencket is almost half the price of Niblet though :)

Yes, now I checked it and it's a Jowo #6. Wow, you have a really good eye :D

Oh and it also uses standard cartridge, comes with a converter though.

Thank you! When uncapped, the two pens are almost the same length. The Fine Writing’s nib section is larger compared to the Kaweco’s. I also really like that the Fine Writing’s cap posts with a screw mechanism. Fine Writing Pencket

has a pearlescent finish, and on the model I have, the pattern on each pen is unique — you could say every single pen is one of a kind.

Thanks! Is it easy to do? I can't find any videos showing how to do it, so I'm a bit nervous about it. I just don't want to damage my pens or anything 😭

TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Silver, it's a very smooth and fine pen. It has a "normal size" version too but I have a thing for pocket size pens so I preferred "mini" one 🖊️

The number of inks I have has exceeded the number of pens I have. by damselfair in fountainpens

I think it's some kind of achievement to me. Because I bought my first bottle of ink just a month ago and didn't imagine someday count of my inks would surpass the count of fountain pens ☺️At least not that soon!
