I've not used a fountain pen since I was last at school, approx 20 years ago.
So on the advice of people on here I got myself a Lamy Al-star in blue.
I really liked using it, it looks cool, feels nice. I even got a few comments on my writing from people in the office.
Well the other night I finished off some paperwork, went home and the following morning its gone.
No idea whats happened to it. Everyone in the office knows its mine, everyone in the office now knows I've lost it as I spent 2 hours searching everywhere (even under the desk of the young ladies :angel: ) but its gone.
I can only assume one of two things. Either a factory worker has come into the office, used it to write a note and pocketed it (accidentally or on purpose).
Or I have put it on a pile of paperwork, closed a folder and I will find it in 6 months time.
So now I am fountain-pen-less again.
Not sure whether to just get the same Lamy again, or get a different brand as I now enjoy using ink again. And I have several nice mech pencils on my desk so I want a nice pen to complement them.
I know why banks use a metal chain to keep their pens.
