Fountain Pens
It's often said that the second fountain pen you buy is the most dangerious of them all -- once you have two, they seem to multiply by the month if you're lucky, by the week if you're not.
I purchased my second fountain pen in 2023 and never looked back. This page contains my collection.
Sailor Galaxy

I really enjoy the sailor. Despite its plastic body, it has a premium feel and the nib is beautiful. It is a bit scratchy, though.

LAMY 2000

My favorite pen, hands down. The LAMY 2000 writes wonderfully, and features a beautiful design and finish. I have two of them.

TWSBI Eco

The TWISBI is cheap and fun! It also holds MUCH more ink than any of my other pens.
Cost | $33 |

LAMY Studio LX

I think the Lamy LX is underrated. The black nib is gorgeous along with the design, although it doesn't write as well as its older sister the 2000.
Cost | $150 |

A classic. Cheap and fun. Need I say more?

Lifespan | 1 year (556 days) |
Inked | Diamine Oxblood |
Kaweko Sport

This Kaweko was my first pen and I think I have 2 or 3 of them now. They're easy to pocket and almost never leak. The size is a bit hard to write with, though.
Cost | $30 |
Manufacturer | Kaweko |
Purchased | December 2023 |
Lifespan | 1 year (513 days) |
Inked | Diamine Early Dusk |
Pilot e95s

This is my newest pen. I opted for a medium nib rather than a fine, and I think it worked out. The e95s is so smooth, although the plastic feels a bit cheap.
Cost | $200 |
Manufacturer | Pilot |
Purchased | March 2025 |
Lifespan | 0 year (55 days) |
Inked | Kyo-no-oto Anoibi |
