Thanks for all the great advice! What a fountain of knowledge. I eat with both hands. So in a pinch, I'll just use my fountain pen with my right hand. I'm left with nothing more to say.
Glad to help... previous to my shaving addiction, I had a vintage fountain pen addiction. I've stopped collecting (tho everything I collected was still for use, not just to look at), I still use an FP (usually vintage and sometimes with vintage ink also) for pretty much everything I write.
I've recovered from Fountain Pen Acquisition Disorder (FPAD)... but still own several. My favorite - my Pelikan. The one I take to class - my Lamy Safari.
