There is something very ritualistic about writing with a fountain pen. This experience expands to something some would call spiritual when that fountain pen is being placed on a high quality piece of paper. High quality paper has a way of sucking the up the ink that is flowing so smoothly from the tip of the pen. A smooth and silky quality exists that cannot be replicated outside of this combination of material.
Anything worth writing deserves the use of a fountain pen. A writing requirement because more interesting and easier to accomplish when the task involves the use of a fountain pen. Difficult becomes manageable and the writing process seems to slow down when one uses an instrument that is built with care, is weighted for balance, and has the appearance of something from a different time.
