Inexpensive Fountain Pens
pooks | Feb 13 2006
I'm interested in cheap fountain pens because the last time I had a really nice one, I lost it. I currently have a new Lamy Safari extra fine nib and I love it. The only thing I'd change would be to have a slimmer pen -- this one is a little fat for where I keep it in my planner/purse. Any suggestions for slimmer fountain pen that isn't expensive? Or for that matter, any fountain pens that aren't expensive? I'm on the waiting list for the Speeno now, but would like to know what the other options are out there. 31 Comments

I have six Lamy Safari pens. Three EF, three medium. The medium ones are MUCH smoother to write with, but my writing usually looks better with the EF ones, too - especially if I'm writing on smaller pages. I keep a mixture of colours: I usually write in black or blue and have another colour (Noodler's Cayenne is my current favourite) to mark off things that are completed. I agree with having the converters for bottled ink: the only thing I've discovered with the converters is that it's very easy for them to come loose if you drop the pen. » POSTED IN:
