Default Quality pen

Does anyone know anything about pens?

I have always wanted a good quality pen and with my non profit incorporating in mere weeks, I thought it would be a good excuse to finally get one to sign the incorporation papers.

I've poked on wikipedia looking at the difference between ballpoint pens, rollerball pens and fountain pens but that is as far as I can get. Where would one even go to shop for a pen (aside from the obvious like Business Depot and the like)?

Do asking questions about pens make me more of a geek than I already am?

What sort of ink do you prefer?

This I'm not even sure of. I've never used a fountain pen, though I've always wanted to try.

However, I do know that I prefer the writing of a roller ball to the writing of a ball point. Much smoother writing, it doesn't seem as forced when I use a roller ball.

Fountain pens are fun, but they take a lot of getting used to.

Really unbelievably amazing pens are sold at jewelers. You can go and try them out (except possibly the fountain pens). They have less amazing, but still pretty nice, pens at places like Staples, too.

Wow, I never would have thought that jewllers would carry pens. Now that I think about it, it makes total sense, but I never thought about it until now.

Thanks for that tip AnglRdr!
