I love writing with them too. There is the issue of the ink not being able to withstand getting wet though. Not great for grocery lists 😄

Do you know about Jet Pens? Great store and for every fountain pen ink they sell they show how the ink behaves when water hits it. (Many stores do that, actually.) Some inks are, even if not water-proof, are very water-resistant. www.jetpens.com?gad_source=1...

I do this, shopping lusts in fountain pen are so much more motivating:: then I use a second colour to delete items as I go

I agree. The pleasure of working with one of my fountain pens at least reduces a bit the tedium of drafting up yet another shopping list.

Well, fountain pens and shopping lust in the same sentence makes perfect sense. But I gotcha.

Try document or forever inks. Not India ink, though, unless you have “destroy innocent fountain pens” money.
