> On a personal note, I really despise handwriting documents. Writing for an extended period inevitably results in uncomfortable cramps in my hands

You want a fountain pen! And for anyone else interested in handwriting more, I recommend taking up fountain pens as a hobby. It's fairly inexpensive to get into, as hobbies go (though of course you can spend unhealthy sums at the top end), and I have done a lot more handwriting since I took it up, to generally positive results.

The main reason they are so nice is that, compared to a pencil or especially a ballpoint pen, a good fountain pen requires very little pressure to write with, and so results in much less pain and cramping in the hands. I can write multiple A5 pages with a fountain pen and not even notice, whereas with a ballpoint pen my hand starts to hurt after about ten sentences.

I actually have two Lamy Al star pens, though I haven't really used them as much as I'd like. Thanks for the reminder!
