I've always written and doodled with fountain pens since high school (cough, ahem the early 80's). My go to cheap and cheerful fountain pen has been the Parker Vector[0], it's not expensive and is really nice to use. I did for a while (12 years) own a Waterman Carene[1] which was gifted to me by colleagues when I moved on to another job. To my great sadness and annoyance I lost it in a house move. That was a really nice writing implement if perhaps a wee bit top heavy if you left the lid on the other end. After losing that pen I bought another Parker Vector and it's done me just fine ever since.
