Re: Pens
I had a founntain pen at school, one day I dropped it and it stuck into the wooden floor like a dagger. True story.
Still worked fine after.

I could never get the hang of writing with a fountain pen.

Re: Pens
I had a fountain pen at one point. It had gorgeous green ink. I bet it's still at my parent's house somewhere...

Re: Pens
Debrett's has a section on fountain pen's and ink, therefore they're not for hipster's. QED. Unless of course, all those kids in England and Germany using Lamy Safari's at school are hipster's. Those tryhards.
A fountain pen with a nice nib slowly adapts to your writing style over time - to the point that other people may not be able to write well with it.
It becomes a bespoke item, not disposable fashion. A nice pen can be handed down through the generations.

Re: Pens
From what I understand you have to break in the nibs, though. There was a comic strip artist who would use "breaking in new pen tips" as an excuse to just do a pretty picture for that day's comic instead of doing the actual comic.

Hipster is a cynical, reductive, and vacuous term.

Re: Pens
I think you should commit and only post on the forums in pen from now on.
Also, this would never work for me, as I have the penmanship of a kindergartner (seriously, my driver's license signature looks like a 5 year old drew it)

Re: Pens
The only reason my signature looks adult is repetition, and it's pretty abstract. You'd never know that I'm making the same motions through the whole thing even though I changed my name last year. Aside from my (former) name I couldn't write cursive to save my life.
That being said, a pen such as this might get me trying again.
