My Fountain Pen Daily Drivers
A fountain pen question of the day was posted on Mastodon recently:
"What are your daily drivers—pens that you do most of your writing with on a daily basis? What makes them the best for daily use?"
I replied there, but I thought I'd also post here also:
I have too many pens that I consider my daily drivers, but let me pick my top 5:
BENU Euphoria (M)
Lamy Lx (custom ground italic)
Laban Skeleton (Kaigelu long blade)
Pilot Capless Fermo (M)
Pilot E95s (M)
They all have great nibs, are paired with lovely inks I like to write with, and have cool pen designs that make me happy to use them.
My runners-up are the
TWSBI GO (F)
TWSBI Diamond 580 (M)
Jinhao X159 (EF)
I have so many pens currently inked up (~18 or 19), and they're all sitting within easy reach so I can use whatever I feel like using when I journal or do any other writing. But the above 8 are what I pick up most *right now*. This could change in a few days, weeks, months.
P.S. The newly launched Penfount community (history here) on Mastodon is great. Feel free to check out posts here, if you're interested.
