Fountain Pens. What's the attraction?
Outside of their appeal as pretty little objects, i like the smoothness of a properly adjusted fountain pen. When i use a fountain pen, my hand doesn't get tired. Ballpoints require too much pressure and i end up with cramps. I like having a variety of lines, and there are all sorts of fountain pen nibs that give different sort of lines. I do like playing with old flexible nibs, and that's something that a ballpoint or rollerball just can't duplicate. I like the choice of ink (and truth be told, i also like fussing with them.) Finally, my handwriting is much better with fountain pens than with ball points. In sum, with fountain pens, the process of writing is more pleasant and the output much prettier. It's a no-brainer. I also like that FPs are reusable. FP use alone will not save the earth, but all the same, it does bug me to throw things away when there are reusable alternatives. -- |
