Recently when browsing on the fountain pen Reddit community I stumbled upon a post where people were sharing their most expensive fountain pen failures, and their cheapest successes.

New Pen Day: Scribe Pens Diamondcast Pastel Green and Purple
One thing that I’ve really wanted to add to my fountain pen collection for a while is a beautiful handmade pen, and so I’d been keeping my eyes peeled online for some good UK based pen makers (I didn’t want to deal with international shipping and customs charges on such an expensive item!).

Like the Majohn A2, the A1 is a retractable fountain pen that clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the Pilot Vanishing… Read more

My Kaweco Collection
My fountain pen journey all started with the Kaweco Sport in Light Lavender. I can’t even fully remember how I stumbled upon this pen, I just thought it looked cute, ordered it, and fell in love.
