I've loved FPs since college, which was a while ago. My first fountain pen was a Pilot 55 with a cracked cap and a very precise Japanese F nib - rescued from a classmate who was going to throw it away. I wrapped it with black electric tape and used it daily until graduation, when my dad noticed I loved pens and gave me a Montblanc Chopin for my graduation. I have accumulated a certain number of daily user pens - mostly Sheaffers, Esterbrooks, Pelikans and of course Pilots. People ask me why I still need a new pen occasionally, and I just shrug and say, "Why do some women need yet another pair of shoes?" I also love different colored inks.
Current favorite pen: Pelikan M215 (F)
Current favorite ink: J. Herbin Violette Pensee
Here in Manila we have a happy band of FP lovers, and we meet every other month over lunch, pens, inks and notebooks. I'll be recommending this site for them to visit :)
