Sheaffer's white dot has devolved to just branding, and appears even on the new Made in China calligraphy pen:

Hello everyone. New to FPs. Picked up a Schaeffer from Fred Meyer/Kroger, probably a Sheaffer Viewpoint and I'm pretty well hooked.

I'm not so much a person who has massive collections of things but I'm wanting to get a "decent" pen. My amazon shopping cart right now has a Nemosine Singularity Medium and a Fine and a
Pilot Metropolitan Medium and a 8 PCS Jinhao 599...and I realized...

With the amount of money I'm about to spend to buy several "beginner" pens, I could instead buy a TWSBI Eco which I've read is a great "beginner/daily driver" type of pen.

So my question is twofold.

  1. Would you guys n' gals recommend a selection of less expensive pens or does it make more sense to jump straight into an Eco? I already know I like fountain pens in general.

  2. I like the feel and flow of the nib on the Viewpoint but Im not sure what size nib it qualifies as. It SAYS F on the nib but it feels rather wide? Would it translate to an EF, F or an M on the Eco?

    Any other thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks everyone!!

    EDIT Just found out about nib nook.... helpful! looks like an F would be great most likely. Almost hard to tell a difference between EF and F on the nib nook ;)

I just got started with fountain pens. I bought this cheap Sheaffer pen to get started and some cartridges. It's still a bit overwhelming seeing everyone talk about all these types of pens so I have no idea where to start with more pens. I do get the difference between dip pens, cat ridge, convertor, etc but as far as what makes a good pen for what, I'm pretty lost. If I wanted to expand my pen collection, what should I get and for what reason? Currently I own the pen and some cartridges. I do also own a dip pen set and some syringes for refilling ink. I like using fountain pens for my everyday pen, they are much easier and enjoyable for me to write with.
