Addison: speaking of fountain pens. I'm certainly no collector, but I like fountain pens because they're the only writing instrument that allows me to write clearly (sort of; my handwriting is very bad) without my hand cramping, or else, without the point sliding all over the paper. The "glide" and the resistance are in just the right mix.
But my experience, except for brief ownership of a Parker 51 which my daughter dropped nib first on a tile floor, has been with cheap fountain pens. This is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/Lamy-Safari-Fountain-Pen-Charcoal/dp/B0002T401Y/ref=zg_bs_1085704_4/160-5052302-7745938?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=G7K36TEM9SN2BXAFK1JN In my limited experience, this writes very well. But in the cheap category (say, under $100,) can I do better? How will a cheap but better pen write compared to this? And if I have to pay more than $100 to get noticeably superior writing qualities, how much more?
