Despite what most people seem to think – fountain pens are not as expensive as they once were. When these first started getting really popular in the retail world they cost a few hundred dollars. But now you can find them to be quite inexpensive especially when buying from countries such as Europe and China. One of the main reasons these types of pens are so popular is because to write with them is like walking on air – its almost effortless.
This is also a fantastic option for those people that have problems with arthritis because you don’t have to “bear down” on the tip as hard. Personally for me, I love the way they write. It’s just a really nice look to it. Very fancy looking.
Many users also mention that fountain pens retain a sense of timeless elegance, personalization and sentimentality that computers and ballpoint pens seem to lack, and often state that once they start using fountain pens, ballpoints become awkward to use due to the extra motor effort needed and lack of expressiveness. There are a few different brands you might try to look out for when buying a fountain pen.
Some of the top brands are ones such as Pelikan fountain pens, Waterman Expert fine point fountain pen, and Picasso. But the styles vary by – you. You can go from really extravagant with something like the Pelikan Souveran to really plain like the Pilot 78G. Or maybe you like a Japanese flair, Marbleized, Gold, Silver, Pink, Brushed, Patted, Combed, Wispy, etc.
