I finally caved and bought myself a fountain pen. But I got a cheap Pilot Kakuno EF. I tried a Fine nib before, but it was a bit too wide for my tastes. The Extra fine suits me better.

I also got some paper from Muji, which I heard is a good cheap fountain pen paper.

It cost me about $11 all in all, but I'll experiment a bit before trying out something else.

@murid I keep wanting to do this as well. I see a bunch of artits I like getting stuff like the Lamy Safari and it's tempting me.

@sacha In terms of pens, I find that the feeling of writing with a fountain pen is close to using a nib pen. It has that same scratching on paper feeling that you don't get with ballpoint or felt tipped pens. I like how tactile it is. But it's more convenient because you don't have to worry about an open ink well and constant refilling.

@murid The fountain pen lingo for the “scratching on paper feeling” is “feedback”. 😉 Some people love it, some prefer their pens to be buttery smooth. Hope you enjoy your pen!
