Any Fountain Pen Users?
Just got a new Waterman Hemisphere today for Christmas. I have another Waterman that was given to me by my grandfather, although I'm not sure of the model.

I believe Obie is the fountain pen guru in these parts. I asked for a fountain pen for Christmas, as well, but got a couple tubs of Cella. Which isn't a bad gift at all.

I use some fountain pens, Online for my daily use, but I have a couple mont blancs as well.

Though my fountain pen is a cheap noodlers, I have no complaints. I use it everyday and it's never out of my pocket.

Before I got the one from my grandfather I used a $10 calligraphy pen from Micheal's. It's not the price tag at all, my friend. It's how you use it Originally Posted by Devilpup

I've got no complaints with it. I love it and it works great, especially for the price. Sure I'd like a bit nicer pen but I probably wait for my commission to buy one.

I used to have a bunch but sold them. Though I always carried one at work I seldom had use for it and when I finally needed to use it the ink had dried.In my college days I used them exclusively but that was a very long time ago. More trouble really than they were worth even though I still love writing with them and high altitude affects them negatively.
I always thought the Waterman's especially the ideal nib was the best. Just the right combination of smoothness and scratchiness.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

I've been using Lamy Safari's at work. I have no complaints. They're cheap. No biggie if
I misplace them, I use them daily, no skipping, smooth, nice ink flow with the fine nib.
+1 on the Noodler's. I got a free one with their ink, it works fine as well.Last edited by zib; 12-27-2011 at 02:41 AM.
