I’m Sticking With My Pelikan

Should I ever be lucky enough to buy a home, I will sign the document with a Nakaya pen. I don't actually like their nibs (too stiff for my taste ☹️), but the bodies are beautiful and a signature doesn't take long to write anyway. pic.twitter.com/KgxYQPjrO6

The less expensive one that replaced the much nicer one I left to dry up in a dark drawer. 😿

I also have a Lamy Safari which is extremely nice. And affordable for those of us who don’t live in gold rooms. A steel nib, but I don’t write by hand much anymore, anyway.

Any excuse, really, to mention fountain pens.🖋️
