I know some of your nerds have way too many pens. Tell me about your favorites. Bonus points if they don’t cost $200+, because that’s silly.

I have a lamy safari medium nib that is very nice to use, but considering getting something else because they are fun, good for drawing and I’m switching back to paper for notes anyway. Any favorite inks?

    Lamy 2000. Yes it’s $150, but it’s the only fountain pen you need. It’s perfect. The design hasn’t changed in 50+ years. There is no pen better imo. I have used mine for over a decade and it still feels new.

      I watched like a 20 minute long video of someone geeking out over how well it is designed lol. I’ll keep it in mind. Everywhere I have looked its like $200+ now though (edit: ah, I see its on amazon for cheaper).
