Hi, I'm excited to be here, I've already looked at some of the ink reviews and it's always impressive when reviewers post good quality pics of their goods, very informative.
It was a long journey here:
Grade 9 - bored in class, took notes using lettering that I considered fancy just for run
Grade 10 - same, but a bit more quickly.
Grade 11 - noticed that most people didn't care about their writing, except for the occasional female (fellow males thought I was weird for even having neat writing in the first place).
...and so on...
That was like two decades ago. Anyways, I've always been a pen freak with my standard workhorse being uniball signo 0.38 (cheap, rolls well, nice fine point) but in early 2013 I was bitten by the fountain pen bug and haven't looked back since.
Nothing fancy, my current favourites are my Twsbi diamond 580 for its weight and feel and springy-ish nib, and A.G. Spalding & Bros BRFT220 which doesn't mind being thrown around a bit.
