I'm here for the fountain pens. Otherwise my special interests are fiber arts (quilting, knitting, garment making, hand sewing), English orthography, biohacking (for lack of a better term), book binding, calligraphy, philosophy, horticulture.
Finally received my Moterm pen case (Pebbled Mustard) so I can organize my Platinum Presidents (UEF, EF, F, M, B, C). Having them in the same case will help tell them apart. Cigar shaped pens aren't my favorite form factor, but I have reconciled myself to accepting the classic style.
The case can fit an A6 notebook. The Hobonichi is a very tight fit. It will zip closed, but it strains the stitching. #FountainPens #FountainPen

Lamy Aion is one of my favorite pens. I know people think it's boring, but I love the minimalist design. Thank you Jasper Morrison. Mine don't have the cap rattle issue. This nib is a joy to use.

But I'm pretty sure my Lamy Aion EF (Olive Silver) puts down a slightly broader line than my new Lamy Aion F (Blue). I'm not exactly complaining, more amused.

My flex writing is more wobbly than sexy, but here's a sample using:
FPR Jaipur V2 Steel EF Ultra Flex
Wearingeul Yi Sang, A Taxidermied Genius.
Strathmore Parchment 200 Series 89 gsm (Ivory)

I'm down to 31 inked pens in my effort to... I'm not sure, save time? 🤓 #fountainpens #fountainpenink

I have a bit of a dilemma, to pen show or not to pen show. It would be my first pen show.

The wants & needs for me are: custom nib work, trying out and buying specific pens I've wanted, and getting some oddly specific questions answered. But fears are: risk of COVID-19. I'm moderately immunocompromised and COVID rates are up. I will mitigate risk by attending during dealer hours, N95 mask, and personal Hepa.

Risk assessment is very personal, but any kind advice?

New Pen Day: Lamy Aion EF in Olive Silver. I'm not sure if it's too early to say that I love this pen and so much more than I thought I would. I'm confused by Lamy Blue ink though. It's the first time I've tried it and it seems a bit anemic despite the good ink flow. This nib required no tuning. Though this EF seems more like a M to me compared to my Lamy AL Star EF.
