    Default Hello Everyone!

    Hi everyone! I am new to the fountain pen hobby. My interest in fountain pens stems from my interest in mechanical pencils. Discovering a new world of lead types and the feedback (or lack there of) was a joy and helped my ability to write. Having a medical condition that effects my ability to write without pain, finding instruments that allow me have allowed me to enjoy writing have greatly helped in both a personal and professional capacity. I look forward to learning more about the hobby and meeting fellow enthusiasts.

    First Pen: Lamy Al-Star, Medium Nib
    Current Favorite Pen(s): Torn between my Sailor Pro Gear and My Pilot Heritage 92
    Current Favorite Ink: Lamy Copper Orange

    Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Used to have an apartment a block or so above the monument on Charles. This was when the Peabody Bookstore & Beer Stube was still open and the bar at the Park Plaza was a great place to eat.

    Welcome to the forum...mechanical pencils huh, excellent!
    0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me
