Most people don't think much about pens. They don't have a logo in cups, drawers, and backpacks. Any of these pens will do the job of inking up anything you need.
You realize how poor the pen really is when you consider your experience with a souvenir from a web brand that may or may not have disappeared with the NFT market. The ink is tacky and horrible, the struggle to roll across the page is obvious, and the tiny plastic shafts dig into your fingers.
When I got my first cheap fountain pen, I realized I could have fun with it. It feels like you are in a novel when you put a wet pen to the page. Each time it was used, it became an event. I felt like Bilbo Baggins, wrapping up There and Back Again in Bag-End, but instead of grand tales of adventure, I would be writing a check to the IRS.
I used a fountain pen every day for a few years after college. I found my pride and joy when I was 30.

There is a photograph of Lamy.
The torpedo was made in Germany in the 1960's. A medium-tipped Lamy 2000 comes with a hooded, Platinum-coated, 14-carat gold nib ground to the point that it surfs across the page, depositing thick lines of whatever ink you have sucked in. The pen is in the bottle. I use this ink with it and it never leaks.
I use it to tackle to-do lists and journal my way through crises. I used it to write my wedding vows because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to read them. It is difficult to describe how much fun it is to write with a tool that is so well- engineered. That makes me feel powerful.
