Old soul dipping the nib into the inky waters of the fountain pen world

[84-Orwell]

Looking forward to catching up, exchanging recommendations and maybe finding the pen that writes my next masterpiece (or grocery list but who's judging?).

Greetings @84-Orwell. What are you looking for in your fountain pen? Someone here may know where to find it.

 

[84-Orwell]

Appreciate the friendly welcome @Alan ! I'm after something with a smooth flow, a touch of character and maybe a bit of vintage charm. One that's caught my eye recently is the Pilot Juliet. Collectors have come to appreciate its fluid ink delivery and classic feel. I'm looking for a pen that moves effortlessly with my writing almost like a natural part of my grip.

 

[Alan]

What is your budget confines? I don't have many, but others here have several and may have a few brand suggestions.

 

[84-Orwell]

I am hoping to keep it under $100-$150 depending on my stress level I'm also flexible if the pen's worth its weight in gold. Do you know of brands or models that fit the bill? Feel like I'm fishing in a sea of options.

 

[Alan]

I have a new to me brand, the Ellingtons. And I have some Conklins. Both are good.

 

[84-Orwell]

Hey, thanks for those recommendations. I appreciate you throwing some names in the hat. Ellingtons are a new one to me. I will have to check them and Conklin out.
