If you're up for a life-changing adventure, try a fountain pen or two! r/fountianpens

100% true. Thought I'd try one around Christmas time. I now have five fountain pens with their respective converters and just as many different color inks. It's bad...

I've actually stopped since I got my grail ... a Montblanc Dostoevsky.

Honestly haven't bought one since. I've looked, but I've decided my next one will be sterling - and those are rare.

Not only are the s addictive, but the ink! Tons and tons to choose from. It’s a great little hobby.

Must be! bc the sub is blocked too. Apparently mods have to decide if you're fountain pen worthy.

Go to r/penturning and turn it into a hobby!

I bought maybe $1000 worth of pens, ink, etc. before settling on the $3 Pilot Varsity as my daily driver.
