Keeping and caring for a fountain pen

[Burlington]

Not long now until ‘I’m allowed’ to use my new Platinum Izumo Urushi which I’ve patiently been enjoying the wait for.

I don’t intend to take the pen with me when I’m on the road, so it will just be for my usual office.

I’ve already gained some great tips around flushing the pen out with water if not using for a few weeks, don’t carry it inside a note book - rather a pocket.

Have you all got any other little tips or tricks on how to keep the nib safe, the pen in great condition (I read avoid acetone cleaners at all costs) and generally avoid mishaps or mishandling.

Thanks in advance !
