My only experience with fountain pens has been the felt tip calligraphy pens and the sheaffer cross pens that I used in high school 27+ years ago. I want to get another one, but due to current situations will have to limit myself in price.
My other issue, is that I don't write a lot, and know nothing about converters, I don't want something that will dry out or get ruined if it sits for a while.
I probably should also add, I am left handed, but I don't write with an over or under hook. I keep my hand straight and my arm at about a 45 degree angle or so. Pretty much the same position most right handed people do. So a faster drying pen would be nice. I remember I had some smudging with the cross in school, but used it all the time so it never dried out on me. Also, there is really no place within 2 hours drive to buy one locally. There is a staples, but that is it.
I was looking at the Pilot MR in either the animal (black/crocodile) or metropolitan series. Is this something that would fit into what I am looking for? Or am I asking too much?
Asking the experts.
