Please don't anybody take this the wrong way.
I'm interested in getting a fountain pen for Italic Handwriting or
everyday writing and I am not a member of the nouveau riche. Nor am I
interested in putting more money into a pen than a small car useta
cost. So, are there viable options or am I stuck with a Manuscript
Pen, which requires a lot of downward pressure to make a stroke, or a
1mm Pilot Parallel Pen which is a lot better feeling in the hand but
overlarge for correspondence? As a last resort, I could always pull
up my word processor and then print the result, but that goes against
the grain for a calligrapher or penmanship artist.
A vintage Waterman with a flexible F nib. I mean flexible in the vintage
sense,
not modern nibs that are often soft and springy, but not truly flexible. A
good
vintage nib that has real flex will provide an F line for normal writing,
but if
you are dexterous enough to use it well, will flex to a BB or sometimes a
BBB
width with the appropriate pressure.
Nibs like that require some skill which I completely lack, but I love
seeing
what can be done with them. A good pen like I am talking about can be had
for $50 to $200 as long as you're not looking for collector grade.
Get with people who have such instruments that will let you try them. A
pen
show is also a great way to see them.
