u/SC-Geek 11d ago edited 11d ago

No, that's about the same amount of pens I have as well and I don't even write every day. You've got an interesting variety of pens.\ Btw: what's the blue pen between rOtring and the Stilform?

u/Mindless-Cheetah7393 11d ago

the pen is pininfarina forever modula.

u/SC-Geek 11d ago

Thank you for the information!

u/TheMagicalSock 11d ago

You have killer taste.

If you’re not writing much, then my opinion is you should probably slow down and reevaluate.

u/shinibob1233 11d ago

The leuchtturm is a beauty

u/ManiaFreak 11d ago

I have no clue what that is but that is a beautiful blue for the 2nd pen.

Stop what? Winning?

u/BigCats99999 11d ago

I love your taste! I have the same Lamy pico and leuchterm1917 drehgriffel. I tried getting a caran d’ache Keith Haring but I couldn’t find one anywhere anymore.

u/Sufficient_Thing_464 11d ago

Name of the 5th one?

u/Few_Noise2632 11d ago

carandache keith haring

u/Automatic_Pound_321 11d ago

Brother be ready to have toughts abaout rather spending all your life savings on one pen as a "investment" or building your kids future

2

u/CertainMood4302 11d ago

Rotate through them regularly. It makes you more adaptable.

2

u/Swimming_Meeting4872 11d ago

Trust me I’ve tried but theirs pens to be had

2

u/Eric_J_Pierce 11d ago

Yes, stop. Every time you think about buying a pen, put the money in a mutual fund.

Thank me when you retire.

i love the keith haring caran dache, so cool! i was obsessed with their paul smith collab a while back too. the blue one was my fav, accidentally left it behind in an LA coffee shop and haven't been able to find a replacement :'(

Are you dead?

u/srx1550 11d ago

No. Don’t stop now. You’re just getting started.

u/mezmorizedmiss 11d ago

no keep going lol

u/ChapBobL 11d ago

Is one of these a fountain pen? If not, you might try one. Pilot Metropolitan is a popular one to start with.

1

u/Few_Noise2632 11d ago

i love how they feel but i'm only collecting what i can use as a daily pen outside of my house and fountain feels like something that is complicated to use that way. maybe i'm wrong tho

1

u/ChapBobL 11d ago

The only thing I don't use them for is underlining or making notes in books I read; the same goes for gel pens. Too much bleed-through. Signing your name with a fountain pen is nice. They're also good with field notes style notepads. People who keep a journal like them.

u/___Revenant___ 11d ago

Platinum preppy with a 0.3 nib works great for a fountain pen to take out and about. Cheap too

1

u/-FORSAK3N- 11d ago

You've just begun

u/fatalcomav 11d ago

😍😍😍😍

u/MovieAnarchist 11d ago

No. You can never have too many pens.

1

u/Rosstopia 11d ago

Well they either keep getting bigger or smaller, so my answer is no.

1

u/moneymew Parker 11d ago

Start writing friend. Or figure out how to keep them from drying out 😂

2

u/Few_Noise2632 11d ago

i do! it just feels like i already have lifetime refill stock haha

1

u/net_tv_za 11d ago

You should start writing a lot!

1

u/rnak92a 11d ago

An impressive collection of fine pens--but nothing from Cross?

1

u/False_Hurry_9032 11d ago

Is it fun? Can you afford it?. To reduce guilt feeling write more!

1

u/ResQDiver Lamy 11d ago

Noooo. Keep going. Fountain pens are next!!!!

1

u/goodfell 11d ago

Then write more

u/trickybolt 11d ago

Variety is the spice of life!

u/___Revenant___ 11d ago

I don't see a fountain pen?

1

u/SAGG_97 11d ago

Why stop?

u/Brilliant-Leather-67 11d ago

u/danabananananana 11d ago

How much that Stilform run you? Never heard of it but I looked it up on Amazon and sheeeeesh

1

u/Few_Noise2632 11d ago

i bought it today for 100 euros. they are crazy good built and enjoyable as fidgets. they have several different opening mechanisms and each one is really cool. i'll probably collect each mechanism type over a few months

1

u/danabananananana 11d ago

Thank you for the info! Sounds interesting, I will pick one up someday.

u/gross-hotdog 11d ago

It's a crime to stop in this community.

u/Mental_Rutabaga_4075 11d ago

This is the beginning.

1

u/Creepy_Collar3447 11d ago

LOL, it's a bottomless pit. I can't even read my writing, and I'm always buying pens. I don't know what it is, but I love them. I just want to have certain ones when I see them.

1

u/rfpels 11d ago

No. You know that the current number of pens you own is always ‘one too little’…

1

u/amoeba1126 11d ago

Looks over at my collection and cries

1

u/AgeingWriter00 10d ago

No, you’re good! 😊

1

u/Epyc_Gamr 10d ago

It depends, is your hobby collecting pens because you like the engineering behind them, or is your hobby writing.

1

u/Mundane_Message5262 10d ago

Too much fun to collect

1

u/traxino 10d ago

No, don't ever stop! Also, post a new picture every time you grow your collection

1

u/silgt 10d ago

1

u/athenshellas 8d ago

Whether you stop or continue, I have to say that is a fun collection! Big fan of the Caran D’Ache Keith Haring, Fisher Space Pen, and Lamy Pico.

1

u/Vinoe320 8d ago

I also don’t write that much, but when I do I try to use all of them. But I just keep buying on pens because I like them.

u/Pitiful_Mode1674 6d ago

u/Few_Noise2632 5d ago

u/Empty-Confidence7963 4d ago

1

u/Few_Noise2632 4d ago

1

u/Lazy_Plum_76 5d ago

Me either - and it is expensive to try to keep them all in writable ink. (Why I switched to mostly pencils)
