Hope you enjoy it

I write notes all the time for my job. Customer calls, meeting notes, project information. I also have notebooks for around the shop - I write down things I need, measurements.

I get maybe a hundred emails a day so if I didn't write down what is important - it would all just be a digital blur. I transitioned to fountain pens several years ago for notes after encouragement from my wife.

Right, I also make notes, lots of them.

In the digital world too many things are lost in the ether in my experience. I keep a calendar/planner because I like to just look and see what's upcoming, not having to get my phone or computer to find out

I used this book to help me a little - $4.99 on Amazon. It teaches cursive and dates to the time of fountain pens. I had to do something because my handwriting was horrible.

I saw that book, looked like a good one.
My penmanship isn't too bad I think. Trying to learn the Spencerian script for fun. And it is just so artistic I really like it. Plus the tie to times gone bye like our choice of razors.

Fountain pens are a real joy to write with, no question there my friend

Found these practicing sheet. They are really good. And lots of other great stuff on their site to. https://www.iampeth.com/lessons

Thanks Kristian, I have found those too. Just haven't printed them off yet.
There is a TON of stuff for writing on that site and some real inspirations as well

My newest FP, a NOS Reform Piston Filler with gunmetal-finished nib, filled with Diamine Oxblood, my Devil´s Pen

I guess the answer to the title question is yes

Some nice Visconti pens in that collection.

Thanks

I try and mix it up a bit

But I have to admit I was into Italian pens for a while
