Why do you choose to use a fountain pen instead of a ball pen? Although I support the usage of a class item.

Don't buy cheap shit 😅😅

Jokes aside, it's inevitable when you refill them.

Nostalgic ma. When you refill the pen, when you Polish your shoes. They all show between your nails.

I guess you must have good penmanship to own a fountain pen, also a pen is subjected to personal taste like the feeling of writing on a paper, the weight of the pen and like you mentioned, the looks as well. Maybe you can browse for pens at stationery shops or places like AEON or Parkson or Isetan (depends where are you from.)

Yeah, never go for cheap stuff. Also whenever I polish my shoes I never get my hands dirty, the only dirty part will be is the brush.

Depending on what I do.

Xf can be too scratchy for calligraphy. I use xf mainly for speed writing and scribbling. And xf nib tends to have more problems over time.

Other than that I find f to be perfect.
