For most of my life I hated fountain pens. It turns out that was because the ones I tried were cheap, bad, and/or broken.
I gave them one more shot. Again, a lot of them I did not like, but the Platinum Preppy was excellent. I wanted to get another one with a finer tip, but they were out of stock.
In the meantime I tried some others, and found the Lamy to be just as good, if not better. Just for the sake of convenience I went all in on Lamy and have no regrets. Wish I could have had pens like these back in the day when I was writing more and typing less.
- Alifatisk 3y agoI have Platinum Preppy right know (it’s my first fountain pen). My goal is to write beautifully in calligraphy. Which pen would you recommend?
- dbtc 3y agoIf possible, get to a store where you can try a bunch and see for yourself.
- Ancapistani 3y agoWhat kind of calligraphy? For “pointed pen”, I love my Pilot Falcon. It’s got the most “flex” of any modern fountain pen I own - I own way, way too many fountain pens. I haven’t inventoried them in a couple of years, but I had >200 at the time.
