I use them whenever possible.
I also keep a journal and prefer to use either a diary or filofax for day to day stuff, rather than any electronic equivalent.

Re: Fountain pens

Bump for an old thread.

Anyone bought a new pen recently?

I bought a Waterman Carene - lovely pen. Using Diamine midnight ink.

Me too, Mups. I once won an Osmiroid italic fountain pen as a prize for an essay.

Thanks ST,

The nib is like a nail - no flex at all, but writes like a dream.
