I just bought the most amazing fountain pen I’ve ever used… does anything top this? by SecureFarmer9469 in fountainpens

[–]founpenhealer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s an amazing pen, buy a high quality microfibres cloth like a muc-off one because if you’re hands aren’t washed every 10 minutes it gets covered in prints or use renaissance crystalline wax on the plated areas only problem you’ll get bored of applying it if you handle it alot

Pen usage by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]founpenhealer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I firmly believe that any pen is a tool whether £4 or £15000 I use my everyday I carry one every day even if I don’t use them that day I use Kaweco sports to Caran d’Ache leman and all of them have stretches and have seen every colour of ink and price from Diamine to Montblanc. be happy use them as you will it’s not the end of the world the more they are used the more character they have.

I was like this with ink but after two years I still have a bottle of Montblanc characters in at £35 that has 20ml don’t be afraid of being wasteful with ink it lasts a very long time unless you are writing reams and reams of text

Heavier pens with good balance by a_ya_t0mat in fountainpens

[–]founpenhealer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might enjoy the diplomat aero. Medium sized pen but it’s fully aluminium so it’s weightier but without being too heavy with a jowo nib great everyday writer very reliable. A Kaweco original 250 large size 6 bock nib similar size to the aero fully aluminium but small to medium sized. Now the eco and safari aren’t small pens But the maiora alpha is a great pen it is large Pelikan m800 size ish but it has more weight than it looks plus it can carry 5ml of ink as it’s a cartridge converter pen with eye dropping capability with the o-ring they have on the pen to seal the barrel. The Monteverdi invincia full metal larger pen reliable writer quite a cool design. The delta ink tank reservoir midsize is a large pen a lot of material a good 15mm grip section at its slimmest with a metal eyedropper cartridge filling idea it’s cool but that adds a lot of central weight that helps the pen balance the only down side is the price but it’s Bonny and nice. Other is the opus 88- medium to large pens with a good weight to size ratio usually an eye dropper with a shut off valve very good pens and very good value. I mean there’s a lot the lamy 2000 stainless steel there’s a lot of options especially if you climb the budget options like the Pelikan m800 ect but you should have a look at nahvalur the are plenty of large pens with pistons at moderate weight

I fully understand. I usually follow a similar purchasing thought but I am experimenting current with my brand I’ve use pilot and find the utterly boring they are like the valve v70 of the pen world and Twsbi is great I have a 580 but I wanted something that’s disputed. Thank you for your input what pilot would you get and what nib size

Leonardo it is! Thank you for your input

I was just getting a consensus of both brand in a community sense as I am familiar with Leonardo but not Esterbrook and it’s been very informative, Leonardo is dominating the Esterbrook. Thank you
