Ya’ll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?

    Thanks for the info. I didn’t realise fountain pens worked using capillary action. When I was younger we had to use fountain pens in school for a few years and I remember them being slightly frustrating. But nowadays I don’t need to write nearly as much/whilst under pressure, so I could see a fountain pen being quite nice. Plus, I’m pretty sure the ones I used were cheap and scratchy; if the brand you mentioned is good quality I might give one a go.

      Yeah, I’m very happy with it and it’s usually recommended as a good starter pen, along with the Pilot Metropolitan for those who want a metal body and/or a more traditional look. Check that one out too if you’re interested!

      The safari is exceptional, cheap and common, however the standard nibs they come with are a bit hit and miss, but generally fine to try out, a good lamy replacement nib is just about 10 bucks iirc.
