Wow, no new guys for a while. I just got a Pilot Metro in the classic black as my first fountain pen for my birthday a few weeks ago. I wanted to have it on hand for using on handwritten thank you notes, birthday cards, and things like that. After playing with it for a while (and refreshing my cursive skills that were dormant) I think I might use them more often.
Welcome to The NIB! If you are interested in trying some other pens out, we have a pass around going on right now.
2018 pen pass around
HelloHello!
For those who are as dumb as me, Balky = awkward and uncoperative
Great to hear from you, you have an intersting selection in pens there, especially Mike M's broad itallic. I am always envious of people who get the most out an itallic, being someone who writes fast, and in cursive and has a bad habit of rotating the pen through 30 degrees anticlockwise as I write. Itallics behave like a farmers plough in my hands.
Something that you may have missed is some of the quality chinese pens, especially the Jinhao 159, X750 and X450. All very low cost, well made, good looking and reliable. Less than $5 delivered.
Its a good pen community on here, enjoy every word.
I just joined B&B because I just started learning how to shave with a shavette, and I'm delighted to find there's a fountain pen forum here as well!
hello new person to badger and blade,
hello new person to badger and blade, finally made an account after remembering about this website again. I was on theshaveden when I started my journey in 2012 and just kinda fell out of being active on forums.
My current pen rotations include...
Thanks for the kind greeting. [emoji846] I like your username. [emoji3580] I don't have a Parker Vacumatic, but I have a 51.Hello and welcome Laura.
I am also new to shaving with a safety razor after years with cartridge Mach3, it is a much better shaving experience, there is a strong connection between taking your time in using a fountain pen and a good razor.
Enjoy your time here in learning from the wealth of knowledge on the Forum
Welcome Laura! I look forward to your contributions on the forum, both on wetshaving and fountain pens.My name is Laura, and I joined Badger & Blade since I'm making the switch from irritation and cuts with cartridge razors to an enjoyable shaving experience with wet shaving, which I learnt is what women did in the past, as well as men.
I've been using fountain pens since 1981, starting with cheap cartridge pens. Later, I acquired some nice vintage and modern pens (converter, lever fill, piston fill, and crescent fill). I own about 40 pens, mostly modern, but about five vintage pens.
Besides wet shaving and writing with fountain pens, I also enjoy analogue stereo gear (turntable, valve phono preamp, valve power amp).
