Well I took the plunge and ordered a Lamy Al-Star (in Ocean Blue), a converter, and black pelikan ink...shipped under $50. Not too bad, but I am sure it will get worse.

Are fountain pens pretty much out of the question for left handers, being that the hand drags along the wet ink smudging and making a mess?

I have way more pens and inks than I do shaving stuff. And I have a LOT of shaving stuff!
Do you happen to have an old style Rotring 600 you need to find a loving home for?
Lamy sometimes makes a nice pen. Their nibs are VERY stiff and much broader than I like though.
Well I just bought the Rotring 600 Newton based off some of the reviews I read and well I liked the copper color going on

really liked the Lava design with an EF nib, but wasnt willing to spend $150 on a pen that would mainly be used to write a couple of checks a month and to carry around.
I'm interested in hearing feedback on how you like it. This thread sent me to the shelf where I found a couple of old Esterbrooks... and a Namiki Vanishing Point fountain pen that I'd forgotten I had....
