Hello everyone!

I found this site through the podcast, and was thrilled to find so much information.

Since the super large corporate company I work for decided NOT to provide us with office supplies, and pen theft is at an all time high I decided to try a cheap disposable fountain pen. Many people around we hate the pen and will not borrow it, and just fell in love with that pen!

So I decided to purchases couple more pens for work. I also purchase a franklin Chritoph and now carry my special pens on my person at all times!

I could not imagine how much joy I get from a simple pen!
Currently I have a Lamy Safari, lamy Studio, and a TWBSI vac 700.

Super excited to learn from everyone!

Thank You in advance,

You will be in fine company here, so welcome! I just bought a Franklin-Christoph pen case to upgrade mine, they are wonderful. :)

Welcome to the forums.

Fountain pens are like drugs, you start small and just 'try' a cheap one but then the addiction starts and suddenly you're pushing bigger and bigger numbers and your wife's telling you you have too many (like that's even possible).

Welcome welcome.

Sounds like you're well on your way. Guess it could be worse, the co-workers could love your pens, steal them and then where would you be?

Well the safari is all black (charcoal I believe). The studios is the brushed silver.

This is all I need is another addicting hobby. Between my love of film photography and being a musician.... I am going to have no money!:cry:

Welcome! Having money is over-rated! Having pens, inks, paper...music and photography, too, is HAPPINESS!
