I've seen all this talk on fountain pens and you guys have me interested. I'm looking at a Lamy Safari (something cheap and easy to start with, unless you have any better suggestions).
Now for the nib - which size do you recommend? I prefer Fine ballpoints, but for fountains it seems like maybe the Medium results in a smoother line. The downside to the Medium is a possible loss of detail. I am planning on using this as a daily pen, so it has to keep a good level of detail and ability to write fairly small (labeling things in math and physics).
As for Ink, I'm split between Noodler's Eternal Black or Shivago. The Shivago looks much more interesting with the very subtle dark green details, but since I'll be using this for everyday writing, maybe it would be better to stick to a straight black.
Anybody have suggestions?
[EDIT]
Also, what would you suggest for paper to replace standard notebook paper? Preferably something cheap and in quantity to use daily and expendable-y, maybe already 3-hole punched.
