I know this is taboo! The image that most people have about fountain pen users is that they were born before World War I. Fountain pens were popular back then, but it seems that lately, the popularity has regained in the younger crowd. I am interested in knowing how old F-P users are.

Just out of curiosity, how many people here are in the medical field and use fountain pens while working? I actually have a brother who is a PA, but I couldn't convince him to use a Pilot Metropolitan, I did gift him the rollerblading version though.

I'm currently taking exams in school. I came prepared with a fully inked up Faber-Castell Ambition with Noodler's Black. I sit in the examination hall and look around. The person sitting in front of me is using a Bic Cristal with a sponge grip attachment. Someone across from me has a chunk of blue-tack stuck to his Bic as a grip. I chuckled internally. The F-C Ambition barely even has a grip, but after >2 straight hours of writing, my hand wasn't sore. This really shows how practical a fountain pen can really be. By the way, I finished a whole converter full of ink that day. I wrote so much that the ink got so dry I had to push ink into the feed with the converter.
