Hello everyone. I'm brand new to fountain pens. I recently purchased my first one this week, a Lamy Al-Star, and absolutely love it. I really like how the pen can add character to the writing so I picked up another pen a few days later, a Pilot Vanishing Point. I also collect watches so I know how hobbies like these start. It's a slippery slope. Looking forward to learning much more from you all.

Hi Zordon and welcome to the FPG forum.
The Ocean Blue Al-Star is a great start to your Lamy collection.:)
There is a whole range of vanishing points in nice colour combinations too.
Don't forget to factor in an expansion to your ink collection too.
That is a very stylish notebook in your photo too.

Hi!
I am also from Virginia and have caught the bug as well. I like your Vanishing Point! I have two Safari's and recently gave my mom one for Christmas. She loves it too. I only have a few watches. Three Citizens I picked up in college. The person who gave me my first gold nibbed fountain pen is named Russ.
Nice to meet you.
