I agree. I think fountain pens and inks are very much an YMMV area as well.Thank you. She's been going through a rough spell of late, so I hope it will brighten her day a little.
I'm glad to have this done, so I can start to feel more settled and content with my options. It took a while to feel that way with shaving gear, and already feel that way with my array of pens and paper (particularly Clairefontaine and the Parker IMs). It's nice to feel that whatever you choose from your line up, it will never be wrong.
