On-board with two Ohto Dudes and one Pilot Metro. Don't know squat about inks. Pens, either.

[MENTION=82524]cmh737[/MENTION] those are two great starter pens! What ink did you pick up?
Erik, your interview with Dave on B&B Radio a couple of months ago got me thinking about finally getting around to acquiring a fountain pen. Fast forward to today.....I'm on a business trip, and whilst having coffee at a place in downtown Appleton, WI, I notice a pen shop across the street! I kid you not! So, after some due diligence on the Nib forum, I mosey on over to check things out. Long story short, I walked out with a Pilot Metropolitan, a TWSBI Eco, and a bottle of blue ink!
....What nibs did you get on your pens?
Thanks, Erik. I got "medium" on both.
OK, added a third, also medium:
Hi guys, I have posted a few times in this forum, but have yet to say hello officially.
I have two fountain pens, one Pilot metro and one Parker Frontier. I have Koh-I-Noor Hardmuth blue ink winging it's way towards me as I write this and hope it's an OK ink.
Hey Gents!
New to this forum (B&B) and love that there's a 'Nib' section.
Have a large collection of pens and inks - dove head-first into the rabbit hole about three years ago and haven't looked back.
Have 80-ish pens and just as many bottles of ink, if not more. Love getting people hooked on handwriting and fountain pens, and do my best to encourage everyone I meet to use them.
My favorite pens are the Pelikan M800s, Visconti Homo Sapiens, Montblanc 149s, Lamy 2000s, and Pilot Falcons - though I love just about every fountain for one reason or another.
Excited to connect with other fountain pen enthusiasts and to learn more about straight razor shaving. (I have a Merkur DE razor I've been using for several years and recently picked up a cheap Parker shavette to practice straight razoring around my beard)
More than glad to help anyone with fountain pen, ink, or paper related questions.
Nib section? We even have some Badger & Blade limited edition inks (from Noodlers).
Welcome aboard.

Are the B&B inks still available? I just checked WCS and couldn't find them. I could always use a backup bottle of Five O'Clock Shadow!Nib section? We even have some Badger & Blade limited edition inks (from Noodlers).

Wait...WHAT?!?
Sweet baby Jesus, I had no idea! (I exclaim while rubbing my hands togetherness joy)
This just gets better and better...
