This is the Lamy Logo fountain pen in a Pearl color, has a champagne look. I bought this pen because I liked it’s look and style. It comes in four colors. This Pearl and the Twilight are the ones I’m attracted to. It is a thin fountain pen, about the diameter of a pencil, and when posted about the length of a pencil. Bought this pen with a fine nib and glad I did as it puts down a line width that suits me. I find the nib to be scratchy as it works on the paper. And, it is one of the most consistent writers I own.
The journal is a Leuchttrum 1917, my first but not my last. I have for years used Moleskin journals but found issues with them when using fountain pens because of too much bleed through. This has not been an issue with the Leuchttrum journal. The Leuchttrum uses a heavier 80g paper. Due do the lighting in this image the paper is a bit more on the yellow side than the ivory color it really is.

I have been using the Pilot Metropolitan you recommended for a few days now and enjoying it. Took me awhile to figure out why it didn’t start writing immediately upon pressing in the ink cartridge. The one thing I need to get used to is holding it with the particular orientation of the nib vs. being used to any way.
I do like how it writes. I thought at first the fine version was a bit too fine for me, but it seems to have “broken in” some.

Yes, just as cameras and editing software there is a learning curve. I was wondering what size of nib you had ordered but figured I’d find out soon enough. Hope you continue to enjoy and learn as you experiment. Each pen will require some break in period as each of us has our own style of writing. It’s my feeling that fountain pens help us to develop a style of our own. Enjoy!

I find it interesting that a pen would have a learning curve, but it is a fine instrument, no different, I suppose, than a workshop tool.

For sure, Paul. How we hold it, angle to the paper, the paper it’s self, the ink type and color, and more. They also require some maintenance, which our society is not used to. We’re more prone to throw it away (wherever ‘away’ is) and replace it.
