Hello from Colorado

[Quantum Sailor]

Hello all,

I have recently gotten into fountain pens. I got hooked when I began finding ones that wrote how I wanted a pen to write. I've been leaning towards getting into restoration as a hobby as well.

I'm also interested in quantum mechanics and physics/mathematics in general.

Glad to be a part of the site.

Welcome! What was your first pen and ink purchase?

Good timing to get started....Colorado will be having its first Pen Show in October!
Posse had a gathering yesterday...I didn't make it to it yesterday but will definitely be at the show!

Welcome to this slippery slope! I predict many more pens and inks in your future!

Thanks all, my first pen purchase was a TWSBI 580 followed shortly by a Franklin Christoph model 29. Since then it's become somewhat of a hobby. My first ink was Lamy black, which is alright but I probably won't be buying it again. I mainly use Pilot Iroshizuku shin-kai ink right now. I'm looking for some different blacks and blue blacks for my next foray into buying ink. Maybe some dark gray.
