Writing is comfortable again

My hands use to cramp and creak after a long writing session. Not any more. Fountain pens glide on paper, making it a joy to write for long stretches.

I care about the environment

Disposable pens run out quickly and it makes me sad to throw things away. I can refill my fountain pen over and over again from the same bottle of ink. Less trash equals a happier planet.

My handwriting instantly looks a thousand times better

Seriously. Nothing improves your penmanship quite like a fancy italic or flex nib. I honestly find myself writing the alphabet over and over again just because it looks so nice.

The ink colors make me feel like Dorothy stepping into Oz

Disposable pens have blue or black ink. Blah, With fountain pens, I can choose from hundreds of ink colors. It's like a veritable rainbow buffet.

Fountain pens give me a fuzzy feeling inside

When I write with a fountain pen, my heart smiles. The world slows down and time seems to put its feet up and relax. Its nice to slow down and just enjoy life for a while.

Hipsters love them. And so do I

Fountain pen lovers like me appreciate fine craftsmanship , quality and precision. It instantly makes you feel high class and fancy free.

Saving money is awesome

Using fountain pen is more economical than disposable pens in the long run. I don't know about you, but I like having extra cash in my pocket.

History seems to come alive

I think all the important documents, ideas, and stories that were written with a fountain pen. Using one today helps me connect to times gone by.

I get what I want

With fountain pens, I can get the exact pen, nib and ink combination that works for me. Some people think I'm picky. I think I just like things of certain way.
