Fountain pens are like mechanical keyboards. People use them because they make the act of writing _feel_ good. It's not about the tech, but rather about the pleasure of using the instrument. How smooth do you want the nib to be? How much feedback? How bouncy/flexible? How much line variation? Discovering (or modding) your preferred nib is a bit like discovering the one switch that suits you really. A bit of a rabbit hole... And then of course you get into inks. |

Shimmering inks (inks with glitter suspended in them). You will probably need to use dip pens (I like glass ones), but the results are stunning. Not something you'd ever expect to see out of a pen.
Plus, you an also use thinned acrylic paints with dip pens...
