1. Fountain pen and a nice notebook with nice paper (Mnemosyne, or Rhodia)

Spending money is overrated. The pen at the back of your junk drawer from a hotel you don’t remember staying at will do just fine. There’s a notebook in there too that’s as good as new if you just rip out the first page.

Vehemently disagree! Few things hurt on my nerves more than a pen that leaves ink spots behind, or works intermittently, or needs excessive pressure on the paper...

Agreed, but sometimes a nice pen, and a paper makes the task more fun.
