I got my first fountain pen around late 2017, curious about the writing experience. It was some kind of Jinhao (not pictured) that isn't often in circulation any more because despite being labeled as a fine nib, it writes way too heavy for me.

Pictured are the pens I typically keep in use:

Pilot e95s (F) Pilot Metropolitan (F) Pilot Prera - Slate (F) Pilot Prera - Demo Green (F) Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo (F) TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR (F) Pelikan Souveran M400 (F) Faber Castell Ambition (M)

The M400 is the newest addition. The Preras were recently cleaned out and are awaiting new ink.

Not pictured, my current ink collection consists of:

Diplomat Burgundy Graf von Faber Castell Cobalt Blue Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Syogun Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku Waterman Intense Black Waterman Serenity Blue

Somtimes I look at my Pilot steel nibs (Metro and two Preras) and think I should have gotten some other sizes for variety. Then again, I really like writing with fine nibs.

My favorite tends to be whatever I wrote with most recently.

Funny, I didn't notice the imgur tag! I went back and edited the post. I used the browse feature to upload an image, but perhaps that isn't enabled on this server?

Weird. I still just see a link to the imgur page. Maybe something with how imgur works with direct links?
