Hello everyone, I've just got serious about fountain pens and after buying a couple (a Gama and a Jinhao) and reading a little bit, I've discovered I like the following in an ink pen: - a fine nib which has a little bit of cushion, since my handwriting is small - slightly wet flow, say 2-3 seconds - a narrow gripping section, since I have small, girly hands (although the barrel could taper out and become larger) - well-balanced without posting - preferably ED or piston-filled Now I guess it all comes down to my budget. And that's the real challenge. I'm a student, and I cannot go beyond 11 dollars (around 800 rupees). Am I being delusional or is there any hope? Also, I was wondering if anyone has ideas on where I could source good-quality journals - again, not above 11 dollars - in India?
