BHPian tchsvy recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Oh boy, this hobby is a rabbit hole! I went from having two pens in February to having 40 by September! But I’m happy I got these pens. Each pen is unique, beautiful, and a delight to write with. As mentioned above, I started off with a Parker, which turned out to be a dud. Then, I got myself a Platinum Preppy, which made me appreciate good pens. Starting with ‘Nokovs’ (Knock Offs!)
