A fountain pen for every type
Wednesday, March 10th, 2021 11:03Wow, it's cold this morning.🥶
So, I'm suddenly struck with wanting to yammer about fountain pens again. Obviously, I have strong feelings about how a fountain pen is used, but I've also accepted that the reason I use a fountain pen is not the reason others use fountain pens and only promoting pens that fit my needs isn't going to convince anyone. While I do think that students really ought to switch over to fountain pens due to disposable pens being a real environmental problem (did you know that nearly 20% of China's plastic waste is pens?!), I'm fighting a losing battle.
Instead, let's talk how there's probably a fountain pen that exists to fit your very specific type. One of the fountain pen's biggest assets is that it is a hugely customizable writing instrument. Once you figure out what you want, you can definitely find a pen that fits your needs (although maybe not so much your budget😥).
( So, what's the perfect fountain pen for you? (Large image warning.) )
If you're still not covered...well, there are still many pens out there that I haven't brought up. Leave a comment and let me know.
