Thread: Any Fountain Pen Users?

I have two usable fountain pens: a Cross, and a Diplomat. The Diplomat began acting finicky and so I have been using the Cross most of the time. My only beef with using fountain pens is that most paper that I have to deal with is not fountain pen friendly. Paper just isn't what it used to be...sigh...

I have accumulated a dozen over the years and really enjoy them but then, after a few weeks i seem to put them aside, only to pick one up in a few months. Love my Pelican with green ink.

I just started with fountain pens myself. Like syngent, I picked up a pen pal to practice writing with. I love the feel of the pen and how it just glides across the page. Yes, work paper is crappy paper but it's still nicer than writing with a disposable.

Cheers,

That pen of yours writes amazing Rider, i would certainly bring that to work with me everyday feels great and very smooth

I feel kinda old school here because I use an old dip style fountain pen with an old leather bound journal for my thoughts. The cartridge style always flowed to fast for me.

I want to leanr to do spencerian script to use with a dip pen and a vintage flex nib for full effect myself,... christmas cards, post cards and the like are amazing when you take the time for them

theres a website i have to find again its a huge global post card exchange, they give you an address then you send they send back everyone posts when they get one and from where you just keep going till you get 4 or five in the mail a week or so,...

looked like good practice and fun, just came to me its called Postcrossing.com
