    Default Greetings from Madrid - Spain -

    Hello everyone!

    I just joined the forum a couple of days ago. Hope to learn as much as I can and share my pens, inks...

    These were my pens a few weeks ago:

    uploadfromtaptalk1453397914718.jpg

    Then I realised I didn't want to keep buying/collecting more pens, so I sold some of them, got an M1000 EF at a great price and now this is what I have in my desk:

    uploadfromtaptalk1453398082838.jpg

    I keep the Pelikan always inked (black ink) and also two more pens in rotation in other colors. The Pelikan is great, a bit larger for my taste but I'm getting used to it. Almost all my pens have fine nibs, since I have small handwriting and I mainly write equations and math&engenieering related staff. And I only use them at home, in the office we are supplied with cheap ballpoints...

    The last pen I would like to own is a Lamy 2000. In fact I have already got in touch with another member of this forum who is selling one.

    Feel free to ask anything, I'll be glad to help.

    Regards!

    David.

    Thank you all for your welcome.

    I think my next step in the forum is going to be... INKS! I have read many pen reviews and I also follow some YouTube channels. But I have very few knowledge about inks.

    I tried to go to Madrid pen show 2015, but I got a flu that weekend and I couldn't. Let's try this year!

    Welcome, daviz! My pen collecting will be taking a pause soon to trial inks. And then I'm sure I will want enough pens so that I can keep them inked with my favourite shades. I hope you make it to the pen show this year!
