    Default New to Fountain Pens in Utah

    Just bought my first fountain pen about two weeks ago (Lamy Safari EF) and I am loving it! I live in Salt Lake City but I am still a Virginia boy at heart! I am working on improving my handwriting and it is slowly coming along. I am already looking to buy my second pen and I have already peaked my wife's interest with a Parker Vector I found at work that had an Italic nib. (I think she signed her name 50+ times with the pen) I appreciate that what I have experienced from the community so far is really open, encouraging and supportive of people finding what they like. Can't wait to know enough to contribute to the community.

    Welcome!!
    I went to Moab once for 10 days...camping. I brought a 1950's higgins FP along for the ride...plane trip and all. The landscape is awesome out there. Towns are totally different then the snobby towns I live with here in CT.

    Best,
    Will

    MrClockWork Hi and welcome to the forum. The obsession starts with just one Safari !
    Collect a few more now so you're ready to get anxious about what colour the 2013 LimitedEdition could be.

    My wife is really happy with her Parker Vector TweetyBird although she is concerned how well the Parker blue ink will hold up in her work records.
