Over at Midnight.Pub we had a chat about hand writing and such. Thread starting here:

So I bought a new pen. And that was an insightful experience. I tried maybe two dozen pens of a given price range. The lady then said something like, "ok, you should try this one, but mind you, that is the next price segment up!". I tried it. I bought it. I never looked back. Never! This pen (by Cross) is just amazing.
~inquiry asked me about the exact model of my fountain pen. I tried to find it on the fancy website of the manufacturer, but largely failed.
So I took a picture:

So, to all you typists and mechanical keyboard maniacs: get out your old fountain pens from days past, clean them and start using them again! And be patient!
Cheers,
