EDIT: There's an extra 'm' each time I typed Lamy. I'll offer my first born son as penance for my carelessness.
I have a pair of Reform pens I bought off of ebay to ease on in to full time FP use. I'm using Noodler's ink in both of them and I'm more than happy. My only real complaint is the grip when writing. The pen is smooth as smooth can be where my fingers hold and I find my hand slipping when taking long sections of notes. Is there a pen that has a bit of a rubber grip there that is a good buy? I have a few specific no-go items that will keep a pen out of reach for my needs. It needs to be thin. I wear a flight suit for most of my pen carrying hours and the pen slots on the shoulder aren't the widest. They'll hold the Reforms just fine, and will hold the retractable Pilot roller ball, extra fine tip pens you can find at any office supply isle. It can't be expensive. I'd like to keep the cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $30. I also need an extra fine nib. I saw a writing example of the Lammy fine, xfine and a .5 mm pencil together. The Lammy extra fine was perfect for my needs, so something that size is needed. Colors are a bonus. I'm considering bringing home a Lammy Safari just for grins. I like the bright red and the Blue. I know their grip is formed, bit is it rubberized at all?
Thanks for the help!
