I shifted to writing with fountain pens a few years back. After I joined my job.
I like writing for the pleasure of writing and have written copious amounts of notes. Most of it is circuits, notes, tech stuff, software architecture diagrams, etc.
Fountain pens are the best. For fine diagrams I use Platinum Preppy 01. I just love that pen.
For daily use, I use a normal Reynolds one that costs Rs. 20 (about 30 cents, US).
My preferred choice of ink is Parker Quink. I fill up using a syringe.
Can never ever write with a normal pen. However, I am forced to use ball pens on older paper as fountain pens blot a lot on yellowed out paper.
- mindentropy 6y agoIf you interested use the Pentel Energel pens rather than Reynolds. I hated Reynolds as a child because of how thin the barrel which used to hurt. Some of the quick drying waterproof gel pens give similar feel of a fountain pen.
- gautamdivgi 6y agoYou need a gel pen like a uniball. Its pretty close to a fountain pen (or better depending on nib quality I guess) with the convenience of a ball point. Different tip sizes are available as well - 0.7mm is probably the most popular, 0.5mm is available too. Both write real nice.
