If, like most people nowadays, you are doing most of your writing via a keyboard, and adopt a pen only for cards and signatures, you will probably find your fountain pen, and even good old Rotring, need cleaning out every time you want to use them. You may find, as I have, that good old fashioned dip pens with a good selection of nibs, and a range of small bottles of coloured inks, are actually more convenient and fun to write with. They only need a wipe with a tissue between uses. A dip mapping pen is still excellent for fine lines too.
