So I joined B&B under the guidance of my brother's when all three of us converted to wet shaving. I don't post much due to not being knowledgeable on many of the subjects here. Yet I always browse the site daily and skim through most of the post for the day. Then came the day I came across a post from the nib. This brought back memories from my childhood of doing calligraphy with a dip pen and a handful of felt pens. From here the rabbit hole just got deeper and deeper. I ran out to the nearest hobby store that weekend and picked up a speedball dip pen set. This has turned into 3 dip pen sets and a rather sizeable order from paperinkarts. Yet I couldn't shake the idea of making the conversion to fountain pens as a daily use pen. So many threads about the mystical wonders of such a great and timeless item. So off to Goulet I went, got my wife to convert as well so that meant double of everything. How could this get out of hand its just a pen right. So now about 2 moths in and I have made 2 weeks without touching a ballpoint pen and couldn't be happier. I now share with the SWMBO 2 metropolitans, 2 Plumix, 2 Penmanships, 1 Prera and 1 Mounteverde Intima.
My metropolitan has the <EF> nib from one of the penmanships with Noodlers 54th Mass as my daily carry. It lays down a fine enough and dry enough line i can use it on any cheap paper without fear. I have another Prera coming soon just waiting on the metro with the fine nibs to come out to pull the trigger. Any suggestions to my current setup for a daily use pen would be appreciated.....Oh and My name is Ben and im a Penaholic
