Thread: Any Fountain Pen Users?

That's a cool desk!! I could play with that for hours!

I've heard of Black Swan in English Roses, it's supposed to be really nice in a broad nib to allow for the colouration.

I've given up on my Parker Sonnet that seems to be leaking like a sieve and swapped to my Swan that was leaking like a sieve before I swapped to the Parker that was leaking like a sieve. I normally use my dip pen when writing at my desk...

I may have to request that I send you a post card, just so I can expect a reply written in the Black Swan in English Roses

It's a wonderful ink... Specially with a full flex nib. You get the black color in the broad strokes and the rose color where it is thin... I really enjoy using that ink.

This is my only fountain pen my grandfather's Parker Duofold Slimfold from the 60s. I really enjoy writing with it!

I just got in an order from Gouletpens, and I'm waiting on an order from xfountainpens. What I received today from Goulet was a Lamy Logo with a fine nib, three other nibs (broad, 1.1, medium), a G. LALO pad, and a Rhodia webnotebook dot pad. And from xfountainpens I'm waiting on two Nemosine Singularity pens, one with a .6 nib, the other with a .8 nib, and a fine nib.

I've used almost nothing else for years. I have several, but my favorite had to be my Cross. Now, my regular pen is one I made with a turned barrel of amboyna burl. It writes nice, but I think I'll have to experiment with inks as the Waterman I use doesn't really flow inside the converter.
