    Default Hello from France

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for accepting me on this great forum. I have used fountain pens most of my life, in school here you kind of have to use one with erasable waterman ink ;-)

    My first real fountain pen was a Waterman reflex Jules Verne 80 days around the world (finally got one back recently). Nowadays my collection includes a few Montblancs, several Sailor pens which never cease to amaze me by the smoothness of their nibs and a whole lot of frankenpens. Indeed, I like to experiment and try new nibs, have to replace the ones I destroyed experimenting on. Do not worry though, most of my experiments happen on Chinese pens with nibs from all over.

    Future purchases; Conid bulkfiller with titanium nib and Pelikan M1000

    If you have someone trustworthy to recommend in Europe, there are a few nibs I will never dare modify by myself. Also have a few questions for someone who knows and uses zoom nibs ;-)

    Have a good day ;-)

    Florent

    P.S. food for thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEYh5WACqEk

    Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Since I don't waste time watching videos can you give us a short summary of the content?
