I have a black Jinhao Century with gold trim on the way from China, as well as a Pilot Justus in medium fine headed my way from Japan. I have a pretty large collection of Japanese pens and never heard of the Justus until last week. It has a feature that allows the user to alter the flexibility of the nib by turning a ring around the base section of the pen which raises and lowers a shiv that sits atop the nib. I gotta check that out - think the fountain pen equivalent of a Fatboy! BTW, I joined the 2024 McGuyver GRUME no buy group for shaving stuff, so I will need to satisfy my buying instincts on fountain pens this year!!!
What's everyone's next pen going to be?

- Start date
I already posted the desire to get an Aurora 88, but, I just won an auction for one. Last time I won one the seller backed out. Hopefully this time all goes smoothly.
Nice!
I'm thinking that my next pen will be a Sailor KOP.
I just ordered my second Lamy 2000 this time in Extra Fine. I already had a Fine.
Interested to hear your thoughts if you do.I think it's time to bite the bullet on a Schon DSGN Monoc nib in their Ultem fullsize.
I am waiting on a new metal barrel sapphire color Pilot Falcon in with a SF nib to arrive from Japan. I have three black resin Falcons in SEF, SF and SM, which are great pens, but I want to try the more weighty metal version. My favorite of the three that I own already is the SF. The softness is very comfortable to write with, has a reasonable amount of feedback and provides just a bit of line variation.
On the way....
Diplomat Aero, Citrus color with medium steel nib. Supposed to be a smooth writer, based on reviews.

You could always just post a group shot.
Opus 88 clear demonstrator, EF
I have the Nahvalur Galen leather lilac demonstrator lined up and ready to pull the trigger on once the finances are cleared. Medium nib, since that is my goto size for most of my pens. I'm a sucker for purple on my pens. lol
Y'all have some beautiful writing instruments. My job doesn't really allow for convenient the use of a fountain pen. I was using Zebra 701s modded to accommodate Fisher pressurized refils: cheap enough to not worry if it got lost. I like the writing feel with the Fisher. Some aspects of my job changed enough that I'm not outside everyday but in an office. I scored a Bastion aluminum in red loaded with a med point blue Fisher. Satisfies my fidget need, well built and more readily handles the Fisher where the Zebra's retraction mechanism was rather finicky and got hung up retracting/extending.
