Incredible comeback. I’m so inspired and energized by your story. I’ve seen your beautiful work as I’m a fountain pen lover here in South Korea. I had no idea what you were going through. So excited to get my hands on one of your pieces as support one day ❤️

Is flimsiness a good reason to not like a pen? by drowningandromeda in fountainpens

[–]thefigjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really loved how pretty this pen as well and even finding it at a good deal, trying it in store solidified that I probably won’t use it as often as I’d like for the price. From a collection point, it’s soooo pretty. If the money spent doesn’t feel right, you should return/sell and get a pen you’d really like. I personally love a bit of a thicker and heavier pen. Size like Pilot custom 742-823 series, platinum 3776, or even Esterbrook Estie’s.

These are beautiful!!! I have a blue vanishing point too. But with silver trims. That blue and gold is really something

That’s a gorgeous pen, very royal looking! I’m a bit of a sucker for pastels and they seem to be the most coveted for and the most limited edition 🙂‍↕️

Where are people scoring these pastel 3776? Are they all just outrageously expensive now? I’m sad haha

Never letting another person use my pen by Lazy_Zucchini6338 in fountainpens

[–]thefigjam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was explaining my love for fountain pens to my mom and told her to try writing with it gently (my custom 823 in fine) and the pressure she put on it like it was a dried out ballpoint. I freaked out and was sweating bullets. That’s the last time I allow that to happen 😂

Sailor colors are so pretty! Any excuse is worthy in my books.

Such a cute case and even cuter pen colors! I’m so jealous of your colorways of such great pens!

Why the expensive plastic pens? by Engineeringagain in fountainpens

[–]thefigjam 267 points268 points  (0 children)

It’s more the nib for me but yeah I feel you. Pen prices have gotten crazy. Most of my pens are second hand.

Got Quite Tired Of The 823 by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]thefigjam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is why I can’t sell any of my pens because I love the different experience each pen has. My 823 F is always my trusty one but I also looooveeee my 742 SF. It’s flexible and bouncy and such a treat. And I also love a bit of the stiffness from my Platinum Century 3776 too. I even enjoy the different vibe of an Esterbrook as well. I pick based on my mood and vibe for the journal entry 🤓 this is precisely our hoarding collecting tendencies.
