Investing in one can be a major personal milestone. We'll help you determine your needs, how to assess fountain pen varieties, and options at different price points, and point you where to buy one. 01:18 1. 1 Determine How You Intend To Use Your Pen Fountain pen functionality should vary: if planning for EDC with a fountain pen, if the pen is used mostly for writing letters or journaling at home, and if you are interested primarily in calligraphy. 02:39 2. Set a Budget Usually, it is best to invest in quality with good cost-per-wear. Well-made, functional fountain pens can be found at every price point. It just requires research to make sure you get your money’s worth. 04:07 3. Research Reputable Brands Use your budget to narrow down potentially viable brands. Narrowing down the selection based on brands with good reputations can make the overall job easier. Getting a grasp on brands and what they’re famous for will give you a better idea of what fountain pens to test out. 06:09 4. Research Reputable Dealers At well-established shops, owners and salespeople can give you expert advice based on their personal experience and are less likely to push a particular brand. 07:39 5. Determine Your Writing Style and Desired Writing Experience Before considering the features of your pen, you’ll need to take stock of your writing style. Fountain pen features should complement how you write so that you enjoy writing with the pen. You need to consider how you write. Being aware of writing style terminology and vocabulary will also help you explain your writing style to others. 08:22 6. Select features based on needs and intended use Consider individual features of fountain pens and how they harmonize with your writing style as well as fit your budget. 12:08 Pen Anatomy - Nib Shapes & Grinds 15:18 Inks & Filling Mechanisms 16:48 Pen Barrels & Caps 19:40 Fountain Pen Dos & Don'ts → Do listen to advice from reputable salespeople → Do make informed decisions → Do try a variety of pens before making the selection → Do test nibs → Don’t assume the most expensive equals the best → Do buy a Pen You’re Willing to Use (and Perhaps Lose!) → Avoid Vintage for your First Buy → Don't make beginner fountain pen mistakes 22:08 Outfit Rundown
