Tomorrow is my Anniversary. I was writing out my wife's cards (she always gets two. One funny, one sort of serious) and I was reminded about how nasty my hand writing is.
we have been married for 16 years, together for 20. This upcoming year I will better my hand writing. When she gets next year's cards they will have pretty lettering not this year's chicken scratch. I need a good comfortable pen, the right nib and a notebook to practice in.
I need a pen that is not a feather weight, not a monster and well balanced. I like my Lamy Safari but it is far too light.
I need a suggestion on a good nib but I know nothing about nibs outside of M,F, and XF.
A small notebook with good paper. I have Moleskine notebooks but they are not fountain pen friendly.
Can this be done for a budget of 70 dollars?
PS. I got a paper cut on my lip, while licking one of the envelopes. OW!
