Writing instruments are so ‘yesterday’. No need for them anymore.
Begaluru?
Good God, William Penn migrated to Asia?
Really sad.
For the last 20 years, I prefer nothing other than the classic Parker Jotter ball-point pen. Still made in either France or England.
I've bought dozens over the years (because most of them walk away at work).
Yes I would like to buy a Penn Pen doesn’t sound right.
Fake news!
Billy Penn died 30 July 1718
For a good choice of on-line fountain pens I use Goulet Pens.
They have ink and fine paper as well.
The rise of the Big Ink Monopoly.
I do most all of my writing with an i-pencil on an iPad. It’s like an endless legal pad but you can find any document in 10 seconds with a simple search. The sucker’s just as expensive as any designer fountain pen though.
Pilot G-2 for ink. Pentel 207 0.7mm for mechanical pencil. Prefer wooden clad pencils you sharpen with a knife for DIY and artistic purposes. Writing instrument technology has exploded, these old ink pens are an anachronism. You can get markers that write on any surface under any conceivable condition, pouring rain or freezing snow or broiling heat. I think a lot of the driving force for these new products that are used in the construction trades have been the graffiti artists of the 70’s coming out of the urban cultures. Some of their creations illegal or not have been truly awesome.
I prefer Fisher Space Pens. Love the way they write. Perfect balance between flow and resistance.
William Penn, a dead Quaker bought Sheaffer? When I need to write on paper, I use a Pilot.
Scheaffer was the last to go of the major American manufacturers.
There are some custom pen makers in the US but they all use foreign parts. German nibs etc.
