State of the Collection (1.5 years since first purchase)

State of the Collection (1.5 years since first purchase)

Current state of the collection about 1.5 years in the hobby. First fountain pen purchase was the Platinum Preppy. Been thinking about adding another pen to it. Either another Pilot Kakuno but <F> this time or a Lamy Safari but I’ve seen posts about consistency issues. Drop some suggestions in the thread!

WTB - Esterbrook Estie or Niblet

Just joined the sub today and after scrolling for a while, I figured it was worth a shot.

I’m looking to buy an Esterbrook Estie or Niblet in any color except Raven. I’d prefer a <EF>, <F>, needlepoint or journaler nib.

TWSBI Regret

I currently have/am using a TWSBI EBO <F>. I regret buying this pen. I had seen videos comparing nibs of certain brand and I thought TWSBI would be a good fit as I write pretty small. I wish I got the <EF> nib. The fine writes more like a medium. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great pen and writes super smooth but, my Pilot Explorer <M> nib writes thinner than my ECO! I’ve done some research and it doesn’t look like TWSBI carries nib replacements for the ECO line. (Someone PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong!) Just a little bit of pen regret right now.
