Hi all,
So I already went down the razor/brush/soap rabbit hole, so I'm ready for a new venture.
I want to order my first Fountain Pen and from what I can tell a good place to start is the Pilot Metropolitan at around $20. However, I don't know if I should start with a Fine or Medium Nib.
At work I currently enjoy extra fine ball point pens and for mechanical pencils I like .5 lead.
Can anyone please recommend which nib I should start with (Fine or Medium)? As I understand it, the Japanese Nibs like on the Pilot Metropolitan are 1 step finer than Nibs made in other parts of the world.
Thanks in advance!
