    Default Hello from Maryland

    Hi Everyone,
    My friend/colleague on here, cj2020, suggested I stop lurking and post lol.
    I am pretty new to the fountain pen hobby. I have been enjoying fountain pens for about 1.5yrs now. I write a lot in my position and got tired of having loads of ballpoint pens that didn't work. It is interesting that my supervisor in grad school (18yrs ago) typically spent the first 15mins of our meetings talking about pens; he loved Visconti. Because of my memories of him, I started off with a Visconti rollerball. I've decided to limit myself to 20 fountain pens or fewer and my collection has changed a lot over 1.5yrs. I quickly moved from TWSBI 580's and Conklins to my favorite top 5 pens in my collection being OMAS Paragon Arco Verde, OMAS Paragon Arco Bronze, Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age, Nakaya Decapod TW, and ASC Bologna Extra Arco Verde. I am a big fan of OMAS Paragons.

    Hello and welcome

    I once set a limit on the number of pens I should have at any given time. Then I had to buy some more to fill with all the ink I hadn't been able to resist...
