I really wanna get one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2vlVZWpSv0 Holy fucking This is sheer brilliance. Ok those batteries are goddamn cool as hell but man for that price I could get 8 rechargables with the damn recharger.

I would use a fountain pen except carbon paper will not transfer the writing from one. (Or maybe I am using them wrong; my script is pretty light to begin with.) Whenever I try to press down with them I end up tearing the paper.

I use a W H Smith 99p fountain pen. It's chunky enough to fit my hand, and when I inevitably lose it it won't cost that much to replace.

A friend of mine spent in excess of £250 on a fountain pen It struck me as slightly absurd

My handwriting is atrocious granted I am taking steps to improve it but at the moment, writing with a fountain pen for me would just be polishing a turd

I would use a fountain pen except carbon paper will not transfer the writing from one. (Or maybe I am using them wrong; my script is pretty light to begin with.) Whenever I try to press down with them I end up tearing the paper. This depends: most fountain pens will not be suitable for writing on carbon paper unless it has a very stiff nib. My Parker 51 writes on such papers fine (though I don't even have to do that very often anyway) You shouldn't have to press very hard with a fountain pen; if you do you need to adjust the ink flow or maybe think about whether you're writing correctly. A friend of mine spent in excess of £250 on a fountain pen It struck me as slightly absurd Yea they can get pretty goddamn expensive for the rarer stuff, these things are pretty much antiques. However if you just want a general one that's pretty awesome overall you can probably grab a simple Parker 51 on ebay for <100 USD.

A friend of mine spent in excess of £250 on a fountain pen It struck me as slightly absurd My cousin used to work in a place that sold ridiculous pens, and was always astonished when someone bought an expensive one, since most of them had identical nibs to ones for a tenth of the cost

Also they are goddamn awesome for drawing my goal is to become as awesome as this: Yes I know most inkers use their dip pens and such but look at that Also fountain pens can have awesome watercolour effects when using the appropriate ink.

I have a space pen. It writes pretty nice, and it's small. Easy to fit into a shirt pocket or whatever.

My parents got me a Mont Blanc ball point pen when I graduated law school. I've used it once.

So that you can get shot by police officers who mistake it for a real knife and your twirling for aggressive action. That said, real butterfly knives are awesome though. My parents got me a Mont Blanc ball point pen when I graduated law school. I've used it once. Montblanc. Bleah. I never liked them, too many fakes out on the market to reliably tell which ones are real and not. Then again, the company itself has had a history of questionable practices, so I guess it's rather fitting. Which is a shame, I liked their engravings on the nibs, they looked pretty cool.

I've got two Cross pens of the same make. One is a dark blue, the other a dark green. I don't think that they are made anymore as they aren't on the cross website. Twist mechanism and ball point. As a lefty I can't use a fountain pen if I want anything I write to be legible.

Preach it.
