    Default hello! from Canada

    Hi there! I've been using FPs consistently for the last 5 years and it seems I never knew about this forum. I figured I should know what's up!

    Before Dec 1, 2018, I had 2 x Lamy Safaris, a few student Jin Hao EF pens, j.Herbin noire, Noodlers Red Rattler and Private Reserve Naples Blue. It had been a while that I didn't purchase any pens or ink at all.

    After Dec. 1, 2018, I fell back down the rabbit hole pretty hard and got 2 x TWSBI 580 Diamond, 1 x TWSBI Precision, 1 x TWSBI Eco, Wing Sung 601, Kaweco Sport pink, Lamy AL vibrant pink, Iroshizuku yama-budo, Asa-gao, kon-peki, Parker Quink, Lamy Crystal Azurite, Amazonite, and finally Benitoite.

    My go to this week is the TWSBI Precision loaded with Parker Quink atm. Once I'm done, a quick flush and I think Crystal Benitoite is going in.

    I'm pleased to get to know more of you and know more of this wonderful world of FPs

    Some pics of the post December 2018 carnage:

    Welcome! Nice set of pens there. I like the 3 pen case. Where might one procure it?

    Welcome! There are some good dealers in the Toronto area. Quite a few of my inks and one of my pens have come from Toronto, and another of my pens and a couple of bottles of ink came from Phidon in Cambridge, just down highway 401.

    You gotta love TWSBIs! Excellent writers for the money and a well designed and engineered pen.

    Glad you are among us!

    Welcome from Regina. Now wait until you have a closet full of ink bottles.

    Heh. You're catching up fast! I have ... 36, apparently. (although two are technically not bottles; they're pouches of Callifolio ink, still sitting at my Montana post office box to pick up next week - when you empty an ink bottle, the correct thing to do is to buy ink to refill the bottle, no?).
