    In the short time that i have been using them I found they are not good for multi-copies. I my life that is not a common issue so I will continue.

    If you are writting on carbon copies try a lamy safari extra fine it is hard as nails and I use one everyday on carbon copies it also matters what ink you use because that type of paper bleeds easily try it with Noodler's XFeather.

    I've been enjoying the Ahab. Just took a few minutes of using it to get used to the different feel.

    Not having any problems being a lefty.

    okay, so I looked at some fountain pens, holy shit! talk about pricey. I love writing and would choose it over typing any day. Anyone know of some cheaper starter pens?

    Look at

    Noodler's Ink and pick one out.

    Amazon carries them but they are a little more expensive there than Noodler's lists them. Someone just pointed me there and I do like the pen. They run around $20.

    There is a dealer's list on Noodlers.

    If you can find them, Shaeffer Javelin. I have 2 that I use, they stopped making them (I think). They retailed for 25 US, but I found some on clearance for 50% off (which is why I got 2). There are also some disposables made. I liked them before I got the Javelins. the disposables were pretty passable pens. I liked them, good for starting and if you ruin it, you don't have to worry about it

    I found some Shaeffer Javelins out there just now. They use a cartridge. Nice looking.

    The Noodler Ahab has a pump. It uses bottled ink.

    So many choices.

    I'm planning on getting converters for mine whenever I run out of cartridges (maybe, the cartridges are handy in school)

    One ice these days I'm gonna get a good fountain pen....who know when though

    The Goulet Pen Company

    Not affiliated at all, just a happy addict This couple has built the buisness from scratch and just opened a brick and morter store. Check out the Platinum Preppy line of pens, best bang for the buck. The Lamy is also great and a bit more interesting.
