Fountains pens are an experience and a statement. It's fussy in that it takes much longer to dry than most ball point pens, and it has a clear preference for pricy paper. In return, it makes a mundane part of life (writing notes etc) much more fun and personal. My signature ink is the Iroshizuku Asa-Gao. It's a punchy blue ink that comes in a gorgeously slick bottle. Every time I see the bright blue ink on paper, it makes me happy.

- abhayb 6y agoJust got a three pack of Iroshizuku in! The tsuki-yo, kon-peki, and take-sumi. Only tried the first so far but it's lovely. Maybe I need to get the set with asa-gao soon? > it has a clear preference for pricy paper Well so do I :)
