I used fountain pens a lot in the 80s and 90s. They are expensive and fragile, but I really like the feel of a good nib against sketchpad paper. [Never let someone borrow your fountain pen. It can be . . . terrible] Lately I've pivoted to cheap disposable fountain pens. The nibs are not bad, they last a reasonable amount of time, and if I lose one I'm not tearing up the cushions or retracing my steps for the day to try to recover a pen worth several hundred bucks. I'll also happy to loan you one. There are more in my pockets.
