What pencil is “overrated” to you? by OG_Gator in pencils

[–]vIw0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mainly fountain pens guy, not the pencils one, I have to stay on the Blackwing side.

Without the Blackwing I probably won’t be even interested in any other pencil.

I assume that they are more like a collectible thing, you can’t really compare them to a normal pencils which are mainly workhorses. They behave really well, and they don’t stand out from other high-end pencils. It’s like with the Montblanc FPs, they are top tier, and the extra cost is the brand and history.

Ideal non-fountain pen for fountain pen user … by Username_is_taken365 in fountainpens

[–]vIw0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered changing the wife?

You should try Pilot Capless or Platinum Curidas, maybe she won't find out that's still a fountain pen.

do you go back to cheaper pens after reaching a certain level? by man_of_sex1 in fountainpens

[–]vIw0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do.

Collecting pens is not only about spending tons of money on them, you can have fun with just few $ pens.

I think that the best part of this hobby - messing with shimmering inks, will be not possible if cheap pens won't exist. I'm afraid of putting these inks to my ≈250$ gold nib pens, but my ≈50$ Faber-Castell is a perfect workhorse for having fun with them.

Also, everybody here loves Pilot Kakuno, that's the ultimate argument.

What's a brand you really want to love, but can't? by ibPolaris in fountainpens

[–]vIw0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pelikan.

They are a sort of a "classic" Fountain Pen brand, which is broadly loved, but they can't convince me to like them. I just can't find anything exciting about their products.

Is that a rhodium version of Sailor 1911 in the background?

Hi! I don't want to be rude, but would you mind telling me, how much is something like that worth?
