I'm a fountain pen enthusiast. I recently found a 70s vintage Montblanc 146 in essentially brand new condition for a reasonable price (reasonable for the pen, anyway). I've been wanting a Montblanc for a long time, so I bought it. I received it today. I inked it up with Diamine 150th Anniversary Blue/Black, and wrote my favorite sentence (a quick brown fox...). It was such a wonderfully smooth experience, well outside of my experience with my Lamy 2000, Pilot Vanishing Points, Parkers, or even my Waterman Expert or Namiki Falcon soft. I asked my wife if she wanted to write with it, as she kinda likes pens (though nothing like me). She snatched it out of my hand and immediately dropped it straight on the nib. So, on top of the hundreds of dollars I spent on the pen, after writing 9 words I get to not see it for weeks to months, and I get to spend another $100. It's been a long time since I was that mad. 9 freaking words, 9.
