Many years ago the fountain pen was a writing instrument used on daily basis. Many owners of these exquisite writing instruments would use the same fountain pen their whole life, replacing their pen only if lost or damaged beyond repair. Over the years, the fountain pen has been replaced by the ballpoint pen and today the mass majority of people have never even written with one. The fountain pen is still used today by those that are collectors, enthusiasts and those that just really enjoy writing with the fine writing instrument. The fountain pen offers you an experience like no other writing instrument. When writing with a fountain pen, there is very little pressure required as the tip glides across the paper and the ink embeds in the paper. The more you write with a fountain pen, the more the pen becomes “your” pen, as the tip forms to your personal writing characteristics.
