Savor every stroke? Timeless? See that's what I'm talking about. Fountain pens and gel pens are both tools but somehow people associate fountain pens with class. It's great that you like fountain pens but you must admit, you like the image more than the actual pen.

I think gel pens are more practical tools, but I like the image better as well. To me, fountain pens are like fedoras... people think wearing a fedora makes you classy like some noir detective. Except to everyone else, it makes you look sily.
