Fountain Pens

Before bold I hit you with some reviews, I would like to discuss a type of pen that honestly helped me substantially during school.

The pen you are likely most familiar with is a ballpoint pen. This works using a small metal ball that rolls along the paper, leaving a trail of ink along with it. I find that I can only write with it for 10 mins before my wrist cramps up. Solution: fountain pens.

A fountain pen is one that features several different mechanisms for: holding the ink (e.g. a 'converter'), getting the ink to the pen tip (the 'feed'), the pen tip itself (the 'nib'). The pen functions using capillary action, thus requires minimal pressure.

Both the minimal pressure required, incorporating a cursive handwriting style - especially minimising use of hand/finger muscles (which fatigue easier then the forearm), allow me to write for hours on end. Fountain pens were necessary for me during senior year exams.

One last note - FP nips come in many sizes. For school use w/ low quality paper, use a Fine or Extra-Fine (only fine for japanese pens, extra-fine is uncomfortable if the brand is japanese).
