This morning I placed an order at jetpens.com.

I don't have a decent working fountain pen in the house.  I don't even have a disposable one I can lay my hands on.  Yes, I have some fountain pens I intend (to learn [through doing]) to repair, sometime, starting with some crappy ones in case my inexpertise mucks things up; I have the famous lo-fi repair book by the late Frank Dubiel and a couple of great old pens with rotted innerds.  But, meanwhile, I shall have not one but two brand-spankin' new options, soon.

And more than one option of ink color.

I'm a little tickled with myself about it.  That's tickled, not ticked.  TICKLED.  Fancy that.

The report: the metal Ohto has a great feel in the hand and fine balance while writing. The wood-bodied A. G. Spaulding, not so much--- with the (surprisingly) heavy cap posted, it's top heavy in the hand, at least the way I hold a pen.

Fortunately I don't mind using it without the cap posted. At least I don't mind much.

But that hexagonally sided Ohto "Dude": dude, it's a winner.
