    Default New FP Geek from VA :D

    Hello! I just signed up and I'm a new fountain pen geek in Virginia.

    I started with a Kaweco Brass Sport after I saw one at a department store in LA in the Little Tokyo area in Fall 2019. And then I got a Conklin Herringbone. And then a Levenger L-Tech 3.0. And then a Laban, two Monteverdes, and most recently (like, today!) my first Chinese pen, a Jinhao 159. And somewhere more recently I discovered all the inks that are out there and its a lot more fun to write in grey, green, and dark orange colors than just office blue. Whoa...

    I really prefer a heavy pen with a thicker barrel. The 159 is a bit too big though and feels more like a fat sharpie. Its not as heavy as I was expecting and its lighter than the L-Tech and Monteverde Ritma, which are my current favorites. Maybe I got a knockoff Jinhao?

    Oh, and I'm a lefty
