May I ask what are the five fountain pens you have? Have you any preference as far as the colour of ink you like to use?I got myself a Lamy Safari a while back after recommendations on here, I have not used a Ballpoint since.
Also it helped me to stop the death grip I used to have when writing as you just have to touch the page with the nib.
I should have got one yonks ago.
Ps I now have five Fountain pens and a couple of the flat fibre nib pens.

Thanks for your response.Hi Paul, nothing special 2 Lamy Safari 1 yellow one black, 1 Parker, 1 zebra disposable and a Waterman.
The waterman was given to me by a left handed friend. ( just tried to find out what waterman it was, just a chrome pen, they start at £70 so that's my best pen). It is the smoothest nib followed by the safari then zebra and Parker more scratchy
I just bought parker blue ink bottle when I got the safari pens it is going to last me year's.
Ps, got ink converters for the safari pens and I use a syringe to fill the Parker and Waterman.
You are amongst friends here, let's have no more of " I'll tell my friend....."That's what I feared @Blademonkey . Sorry, I mean I'll tell my friend when I see him.....
To be fair, It feels more like co-conspirators with some and pushers with othersYou are amongst friends here, let's have no more of " I'll tell my friend....."
Embrace it, own it, be proud of it!

Hi Paul,Thanks for your response.
Those Zebra disposable fountain pens are fantastic, especially the purple one!
Just as I'm a hoarder of soaps I'm also a hoarder of inks, I just love to swap out the colour every week or so, I also use syringes to fill empty cartridge's from ink bottles which makes having different ink colours much more economical.
Write on!

Hi Mark, there are indeed some beautiful colours to choose from, I've just taken delivery of one or two or maybe more inks so I'm ok for the time being but thanks for the enabling link, I will keep it safe!Hi Paul,
Do you know Pilot ink - https://www.jetpens.com/blog/pilot-iroshizuku-inks-luxury-japanese-fountain-pen-inks/pt/401
It's very good stuff. I have 4 or 5 samples in 15ml, Ku-jaku and Tsuyu-kusa being my favourites.
