I find fountain pens incompetent to draw with (Hey, same way I find RB's incompetent to write with) so today, I use a Lamy Safari Rollerball.

I just bought a Sheaffer 300 rollerball black with gold trim. Looks and feels awesome. Writes very smooth with a Sheaffer gel refill.

I have 2 Herbin cartridge rollerballs currently inked, one with Yama-budo and the other with Noodler's Red Black. I use them at work for carbonless forms and to hand to guests to sign things. I have a 3rd Herbin that had Rose Cyclamen in it but I haven't gotten around to trying another color yet. I also have a Lyra Calypso and a no-name in reserve.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Hey Ready what pen name&model is that? I want one!

I've always like the Pilot Precise v5 because it feels like I'm writing with a pencil but I get the high contrast of ink.

 

I like a little feedback when I'm writing. Pens that are too smooth frustrate me since it forces me to slow down in order to shape my letters correctly.

Lamy Swift with Lamy M66 black refil. In the beginning a bit to wet. After a while thinner. The refills don't last long. The Lamy Swift itself is very nice with a good grip. Whished I could place the very nice Lamy M16 ballpoint refill in it but it doesn't fit.

testdriving a Papermate InkJoy 1.0 M 300RT black, new box in the supply cabinet at work.

 

In the original plastic there is less than an ideal amount of the tip showing when writing.

 

Pressing down hard gets it to hum, but that's a medium tip these days.

 

Dependable after a few days of use, will fit it into a Cross or Diplomant if I get around to it.

 

Not bad for free...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
