I’m a fountain-pen aficionado that was taught to write with fountain pens and cursive writing way back in the eighties and never stopped.
Now I have a sizeable collection, but by far my favourite is Faber Castell’s Tamitio which features a collection of italic nibs (I myself use the most modest 1.1 size).

I’d like to chime in with an appreciation for Noodler’s ink. I first encountered it when I was in New York but I stocked up and then returned home and found (happily enough) that now it’s very conveniently available online.
- ramimac 6y agoI've been using The Parson's Essential[1] with an italic nib for 5+ years, and have to drop a recommendation. Also of interest to anyone exploring transitioning to fountain pens would be the Pilot Vanishing Point[2], which is a retractable fountain pen that is generally well regarded.
