Nib Noob's New Nibs News

Sorry to just barge in like this but having just recently purchased but not yet acquired (still in the mail) some fountain pens and related stuff I thought I might stop in and just say hello to "The Nib". Looking forward to getting my hands on my new pens and trying them out. May I show you what I've got hurtling toward me at the speed of... Canada Post.

A Platinum Cool (aka Balance?) Blue, Fine

A Pilot Prera, Ivory, Medium

To fill the pens I chose bottles of Noodler's Apache Sunset, Pilot Namiki Blue and Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki as well as a pack of blue/black cartridges for the Cool. I hope I have made good choices so far. Looking forward to improving my handwriting and maybe getting back into some old school text messaging as well. I'm more of a reader than a poster but hopefully I'll be able to make a small contribution now and then. See you around, Gentlemen of The Nib.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. The Cool and the 580 should have arrived today but no such luck. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe November.

Very nice choices. I've had samples of all those inks, all very good. Look forward to hearing your initial impressions.
