Dear all, I am glad to discover the Fountain Pen Network. I've learned to write using an old Kaweco, and since then I have been always using fountain pens for writing on a daily basis. Fountain pens are my favourite tools of writing and I am the owner and heavy user of several pens such as Parker Premier Black edition (primary pen and reliable workhorse), Parker Urban London Black Cab (secondary pen for peer-reviewing manuscripts, also highly reliable), Parker 51 (two of them, including a Brazilian one), Waterman Harmonie, Kaweco Classic and a few others. I use mainly Quink Permanent Black and Waterman Harmonious Green inks. As a geologist & palaeontologist, I use such pens both in the office and in the field, teaching and doing research, and I am happy to find enthusiasm for fountain pens among my graduate and undergraduate students, a sign that fountain pens have a bright future. Fossils, rocks, science (and fountain pens) are all together a very powerful and fascinating mix. With all my best regards from Bucharest, Mihai a.k.a. Pachypteris.
