When the enthusiastically reviewed ink arrives, we condition ourselves to feel positive about it ourselves. The risk of this is that we develop a herd mentality: we feel a peer pressure to agree with each other. I’ve bought (or avoided) plenty of pens and inks simply based on reviews by other bloggers. We’re a very chatty community, and it’s easy to feel like you have a complete and rounded opinion on a topic just from the sheer volume of information you read about a pen or ink on the internet. If I’d realised that earlier, I’d have saved myself a lot of money - money that I could have spent on Viscontis and Montblancs, which speak to me much more. I guess I should just admit that I’m not a Pilot guy. Pretty much every Pilot nib I’ve used has been (to me) a dry writer, and the pens generally feel clinical and not particularly comfortable - although I know that other people love them, and I appreciate the quality and consistency of what Pilot produces. If I’m honest with myself, the only one that I really got on with was the 912, with its FA nib, and the Fermo’s F in a close second. Oh, and a Prera that I bought for my partner. Over the years I’ve had a 912, a 91, another 91, a 92, a Myu, an 823 and another 823, a Vanishing Point, a Fermo, and now a vintage Vanishing Point. Probably the best example in my case was Pilot. That was a big ‘aha’ moment for me, although it sounds stupid. Smooth nibs or feedbacky? Wet or dry? Piston or C/C? Big or small? Designed to post or not? Generally, the same kinds of design decisions are made right across the portfolio, so if you don’t get on with one pen from a brand, you probably won’t get on with the rest, either. Some you’ll get along with, some you won’t.Ī manufacturer’s ethos could align with yours in all kinds of ways. If you’re just starting out in the hobby, or hell, even if you’re as deep as I am, here’s the advice I’d give. Over the past several years of spending far too much time and money on stationery, I’ve learned a thing or two - about mistakes I make over and over, about what I like and why, and what I would do differently given the chance to start again.
