So I've been baptized into the world of fountain pens through a little mishap with school shopping; I mistook a two-pack BIC disposable fountain pen for an overpriced gel pen that I burned through in about 2 months (around one pen per month, lots of notes were taken with it). I've enjoyed my writing experiences with it (The lines were super thick though), and now that it's gone I have a slight hole in my pen-hand's heart. (As well as a decrease in longevity when writing notes with a ballpoint again)
I'm currently looking for a pen with a fine line that allows for slight variations in thickness. My budget for this is about $50-$80, and should be relatively durable and easy to service. A lot of people have told me as a starter that I get a Pilot Metropolitan, which I am considering.
Any other suggestions for this fellow writer? I've done a fair bit of research into other brands like Parker and Montblanc but somehow I feel like there is more to it that those brands.
