Wow, that's pretty. I've been flirting with the idea of buying a fountain pen but I found the good ones expensive considering I rarely even write on paper anymore.

    Honestly if you’re just looking to dip your toes in without breaking the bank look into something made by jinhao. Basically all of them are sub 5 dollars and are good enough to try the hobby out, worst case you’re out a latte.

    Jinhao are great for new & experienced users alike. I'd highly recommend the 82, 100, & X159 models. Platinum Preppy's are also excellent budget pens that write far better than a lot of pens in the sub £100 range. The Plasir and Prefounte are basically the same pen but with fancier aesthetics if the Preppy doesn't do it for you. Other pens worth looking at are the Pilot Kakuno & Metropolitan, Kaweco Sport & Perkeo, Faber-Castell Grip, and the Lamy Safari.

    Oh, the Vista! Rather than be lured by the many colors of the safari, you have sought out the clarity of the clear. Great choice! Welcome to fountain pens!

    Nice, I'm using my lammy today. I'd like to get one with a slightly flat tip so I can write with some slighly more interesting calligraphy. I'll have to research what to get

    Also try writing without posting the cap. The balance of the pen is different. See what you like more.

    What's the dimensions of the notebook? The picture makes it look long and narrow. At a guess I would say 4x11 or a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded in half.

    Neat! I have a couple of Vistas, a Safari, and an Al-Star with nibs from EF to B. Solid pens and iconic design.
