Wow, that's pretty. I've been flirting with the idea of buying a fountain pen but I found the good ones expensive considering I rarely even write on paper anymore.

Honestly if you’re just looking to dip your toes in without breaking the bank look into something made by jinhao. Basically all of them are sub 5 dollars and are good enough to try the hobby out, worst case you’re out a latte.

I, too, recommend Jinhao pens. I have a Jinhao 75 and it is an absolute pleasure to write with, I like it even more than my US$50-70 fountain pens.
