First fountain pen of my life. Parker Vector with “Medium” nib. I’ve already had it for two weeks, and although this was only meant to try out fountain pens, I think I’ll keep it, since the nib is a great compromise between being smooth while not being fussy with office paper. Already chewed through a cartridge. Only bad thing with the pen is that the grip is a little meh – my fingers don’t really like it.

My next will probably be a Lamy (mostly Safari). Any recommendations for the nib size so it fits my criteria?

    Vector and quink are still my favourites. Not bloated like most pens or unnecessarily frilled anywhere. Having a bit more sharp and flexible niin might be nice.

    Pilot Birdie is another, though that’s a bit different, obviously.
