I have terrible handwriting. That’s because of years as a reporter, taking hasty notes.
Maybe that’s why I prefer a fountain pen. It forces me to go a little slower, write more carefully. I went to a private school that required each student to use fountain pens; no roller balls, no ballpoints, no pencils.
Far from hating it, I loved it. The smooth flow of the ink, the cartridges, the nib’s interaction with the paper.
Good fountain pens have become difficult to find these days. But when I was promoted at work, I treated myself to this Waterman. Slightly pricey, but well worth it. Of all the fountain pens I’ve had over the years, this is one of the best.
