Is it possible to use a fountain pen to balance your checkbook register? I wonder if the ink would bleed through the pages? If I get a founatin pen, that would be my main use, writing checks and using the check register.
I use a Parker "51"
Checks? Checkbook? What are these things you speak of?
I like the idea of having two pens.
Why the slam against Noodler's? You may not care for the ink and you can choose not to buy it, but wishing ill to a business is a bit extreme.So I use my usual J. Herbin Violette Pensee, knowing full well that it will fade in a year or three. No big deal. And no money to Noodler's, which is always a good thing.
While I don't write many checks these days, I have made my own "register" of sorts in a small notebook (Field Notes Shelterwood, in my case) to track my debit card usage.
I do most of my banking online, it's easy enough to check my balance right from my phone, but seeing my spending habits written down in ink on paper has really helped me to curb some of my "frivolous" spending.... Nevermind the $140 Vanishing Point I use to write it down with. I needed it.
