@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com after we chatted about fountain pens in the British Library green room I’ve fallen down a Pilot rabbit hole and now own a Custom 823 (from the amazing Choosing Keeping; I said hi from you) and a secondhand capless/Vanishing Point. No regrets. 🖋️

I've just entered the fountain pen world (purchased my first one), and really enjoy the writing experience so far. I enjoy going down the YT rabbit hole on the history and experiences of others.

I'm so glad. Isn't Choosing Keeping lovely?

Love Pilot fountain pens, lovely things.

You will never regret a Vanishing Point; you can change out the nib unit if you regret the nib. And if it's an old VP, it should have a better converter than the current CON-50. #fountainpens

We had to use them at school. Osmiroid I believe. But I write in a way that smudges it all.
