Hello All!
I've been a FP user since 1983. It has helped reduce my finger callous by 60%, makes writing a joy, and reduced my hand fatigue.
Professionally, as we move more and more into e-communications in all its forms, the classic hand written note is increasingly less utilitarian and more a personal expression. What better served than by a fountain pen?
My daily pen is a Pilot Vanishing Point. I think it writes a whole lot better than the original Namiki [which had a slimmer medium nib than expected, sometimes hesitant flow] although I prefer the Namiki's original pen design, the larger pilot is less fatiguing to hold.
My other pens include:
Parker 75
Parker Sonnet
Thanks all, glad to be here.

More Philly people! Welcome!
Hello and welcome aboard!
Appreciate the Welcome, Thanks!
Welcome to FPN, Saturation! 
I have a Namiki VP with a customized cursive italic nib and it is one of my favourite daily users. Great pen!
Hope you enjoy the site!

Thanks Again Maja!
One reason I use the VP for daily use is that I can rapidly retract the nib in very busy work days. It saves a step, and the lowers the chance I could drop a pen with the nib exposed!
