Any thoughts on a good second fountain pen ?

[Burlington]

I have been thinking lately of adding a second daily use fountain pen into the mix.

My Platinum Izumo Urushi is absolutely fabulous to use after receiving the tip on the forum to try Iroshizuku ink, which has totally transformed how the pen writes.

I’m very patient to add a second pen, and indeed, will enjoy reading up on the options - but as you will know, the choices are so vast, it’s hard for a novice to know where to begin.

I’m in two camps really- either go for something similar, but ‘better’ such as a Nakaya cigar/dorsal fin.

Or - go for something totally different, probably European, and here I’ve been reading about the Pelikan M1000.

My thoughts with something totally different are that I’ll potentially have a second pen that gets a good amount of use….but, if I go for another nice urushi pen, will I ultimately end up just not using my current platinum, if I find something I prefer.

Any thoughts or recommendations on what to research more into would be well received.

I’m hoping in the summer to get into London and find a quality pen shop to test a few different options out as well.
