I had one way back in middle school I think.. not a nice one but a fountain pen anyway... I used to splatter ink all over the guys shirt in front me in class... not very nice of me looking back... 🤔

I've never had a luxury pen before. Looks nice! Maybe I should look into this someday...

In today's world we type everything.

How much do i "write" with my FP's? Not that much, my handwriting looks like crap but I use one every day.

Try a modern FP, the ones I used as a kid leaked everywhere. Today I fly with my FP's every week and they have never let me down.

Like any hobby you can spend what you want and be satisfied, try one out someday.

I have an entire set of fountain pens with varying tips for calligraphy. The range from cartridge pens to traditional ink wells. Love em. Takes a bit to get used to writing with, but once you get the hang of it nothing writes like them.

Most recently I made a big piece of calligraphy for a friends newborn. It was the speech from Kal El to Superman from the first superman movie for their nursery with the kids name and date of birth written in Kryptonian.

Wrote it all up, then artificially aged the paper and mounted and framed it.

Theyre giant superman nerds. Im also a giant nerd. It worked out.

Years of having a mindset of "always work on learning a new skill".

A friend got me a set of pens so I felt obligated to learn to use them well.
