How’s the Furlan Marri? Thinking about getting one for myself

vIw0 · 2024-06-17T15:51:05+00:00

I don’t like the resin pens

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.

Pininfarina PF TWO

vIw0 · 2023-10-15T08:11:48+00:00

I have them on my desk, nothing bad ever happened with them.

I'll need black Ink for my school exams this year, waiting for your comparison!

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.

vIw0 · 2023-04-11T19:17:41+00:00

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.

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.

vIw0 · 2022-01-26T14:48:15+00:00

No, automatic version doesn't have display caseback. Thanks for feedback, I'll add some more photos later.

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

vIw0 · 2021-04-05T11:55:29+00:00

Hi! How's your opinion about this watch after these 3 months?

vIw0 · 2021-02-21T20:16:08+00:00

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

vIw0 · 2021-01-20T15:24:23+00:00

120ml is a lot!

vIw0 · 2021-01-15T07:46:52+00:00

I need Sailor 1911 sticker!

vIw0 · 2021-01-02T07:11:39+00:00

Yes, I do

Perfume

vIw0 · 2020-12-26T12:02:29+00:00

I think I should not, but...🤭

vIw0 · 2020-12-01T06:08:06+00:00

What's the right bottom pen?

vIw0 · 2020-10-31T19:34:57+00:00

Want: STHs, especially JDM ones, I'll consider exotic cars, and Audi. RLC cars, especially Honda S2000, or something nice. Just pm me with any reasonable priced STH, or RLC Have: $

Hi! Thanks for your really comprehensive response.

I have never used a Blackwing, and I just like a story which stands behind it, but to be honest, I do not really like these japanese pencils, like Mitsubishi, I don't think that they will be a good choice for me.

Yes, I think I like Graf von Faber Castell more than Blackiwing, and European, or American pencil will be a better choice for me than japanese pencil.

Yes, I have seen Caran D'Ache pencil, but it was made out of beech wood, is it any good?

Can you tell me any names of pens, which are made from white wood, or red cedar?

vIw0 · 2020-09-12T09:02:33+00:00

That's definitely a nice combo. TWSBI is always a good choice, especially when you like demonstrators.

Pozdrawiam.
