Five’s a good start, but like gijoey says, soon that won’t be enough! ;D Once you start to appreciate the properties of the ink and subtle color differences on different papers and several pages later you start to get a little used to a certain color. Then you start to notice how there’s a lot to try even in the same color range. Then some sheen while some don’t and some shade in a larger range than others so its easy to have fun and enjoy them all. Then of course you will start to mix colors to come up with something just you may want and it’s an original.
The TWSBI 540/580 is a great pen imho. I’ve loved mine! I have the fine and a 1.1mm stub. Write every time and hold a lot of ink.
Couldn’t have explained ink addiction better myself
I do want to try a few different pens though, I need a fine nib
my girlfriend hates that I buy so many reds, but they just aren’t the same! Even Noodler’s Nikita and Conway Stewart St. blazey, with their near identical hues, still have different properties on paper.
