I've been doing this as well. Does anyone have advice on pens?

This is what I'm currently using and I really like them: http://amzn.com/B0027AEKJ8 they come in a 4 pack of different thicknesses, and are only $12 at Staples. I'm sure there's better however!

I'm anxiously awaiting this pen to arrive:

Sure, its expensive for a pen. But I plan on carrying it around with me everywhere and I wanted a pen that I feel reflects my values and interests.

I got a fountain pen when I wanted to improve my own handwriting just to see what is so different about them. I bought a Lamy Al-Star pen, a converter, and a bottle of ink. I would never use an ordinary ballpoint pen if I can help it. Writing with a fountain pen seems so much easier than writing with other pens.

I have a Lamy Safari pen and love it. Light, durable, ink level indicator. My penmanship has improved quite a bit since using it.

Zebra Sarasa. $13.24 for a dozen. http://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Sarasa-Retractable-Rollerball-Bl...

$13.24 for a pen. Seriously I want one, but I'd chain mine up to my desk, because people tend to grab any pen they see!

I think that price is for a 12 pack - not quite so bad!

I have for several years used Papermate felt-tip pens, almost exclusively. I like the faux-fountain pen styling, and these pens require significantly less wrist pressure than ball-point pens I've used.

A lot of custom pens on Kickstarter use the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel cartridge. That pen seems to have a very loyal following. I've not tried it myself.

I really like the Pilot G-TEC-C4 - ultra fine (0.4mm) and don't smudge/bleed much
