I have a couple and if one is unused for a week or two I really have to work on it to get it writing again. Not real great for grabbing and sketching quickly. Is there some secret I do not know?Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610795692040637626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437733278011128705.post-67887729875134029392015-02-10T09:45:03.692-06:002015-02-10T09:45:03.692-06:00How could anyone not love these pens?

My mom HATES fountain pens and is humored by my love of them. She remembers when ball point pens were invented and thought they were and are the cat's meow. She hated the fountain pen leaks and skips and need to refill often. I'll take those quirks any day. I recently bought a Lamy for a coworker. She had pre-fountain-pen-lover tendencies and I knew she'd love it. She does. Now I'm listening to the Pen Addict Podcast, which I'd recommend.

Simple to keep operating and so dependable! They are much more affordable than fancy pens as well.Vicky L.
