The Fountain Pen Thread
- Thread starter Cromulent
- Start date
It is like the old saying. The Americans spent millions on making a pen work in zero gravity. The Russians used pencils.I remember those days at school, used to be able to flick ink on the wall the opposite side of the classroom. But yeah I never quite understood the reasoning - I guess ink is generally a bit nicer than biro, but can make a right mess.
Frankly I would have said it should only be used during English lessons, all other subjects and biro or pencil would suffice.
I found my old one but it still needs new nibs. I'm trying to avoid spending money so I'd like to identify which nibs I need.
I am disappointed that you posted this without a picture

I spoke to Waterman about the fountain pen I mentioned above, and apparently, they no longer make it or parts for it so they have offered me 50% off a brand new fountain pen. They have some really nice ones so I'm looking through what is available.

Yeah, it isn't great. I'll put it on the to-do list
.I use Pilot G2 07 pens as my day to day writing tool. Cheap and feel good in the hand and to write with.
Yep.
I've only written a page or two at the moment but I really like the fine nib and it feels incredibly smooth to write with. I'm happy with it so far. Teamed up with some purple ink and it is great
