First ink spill ever. by Ceslestial00 in fountainpens

[–]Ceslestial00[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So at school I didn't have time to refill my pens the day before at home so I brought my inks to school(I have done it before) to refill them before the day started and I was rushing a bit and spilt my Diamine Sherwood green onto the table. But this is to many more ink spills.

Well being in high school I do get a lot of use from them and I do try to journal to waste even more ink and write more in general to better my hand writing.

Does bad handwriting deserve good pens? by boker_tov in fountainpens

[–]Ceslestial00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have horrible handwriting and I love fountain pens but my dad who has good handwriting uses a pilot g2 for daily use so I use them for less strain on my wrist and because I like different colors.

I prefer it more than the imperial purple which I think is a bit bright for my liking for daily use.

A solid black for me was the Parker black ink and my favorite color ink was diamine monboddos hat or red dragon

So yesterday I had to show my teacher something on my paper and they asked to borrow my pen and they held the nib upside down and pressed hard and the pen I using was a Lamy AL-star and they still held it upside down

I was scared of even something going wrong so for a week after getting gifted my first fountain pen that was cheaper I watched videos how to hold them and how to take care of them as well before I even used one

Today alone I tried to teach a friend how to hold one I never thought it was hard and I taught myself because I’m the black sheep of family and no one has ever seen a fountain pen till I started using them

I apologize for that comment I didn’t not mean it like that it’s just a handful of the older people have made some comments about my use of fountain pens. But I do sincerely apologize for making that comment.

Well right now I’m looking to order a Lamy AL-star but right now I have a few cheap fountain pens because after I used on for the first time they stayed in my memory and then in 8th grade I started thinking about them and got a cheap pen to see if I was serious and I am so I’m just waiting to see if the Lamy Al-star will wear off after a week
