Finally, a fellow lover of resistance! My biggest beef with most pens is that they seem to be going for friction-less writing. I need to feel the pen on paper both to attain the appropriate personal satisfaction for writing and to keep my writing from simply scrawling all over the page.
I can’t stand ball points, though; after years of suffering, I finally started buying cheap fountain pens again. (At the rate I lose pens, no way I’m buying an expensive one.) Only problem is finding them - seems like the only fountain pens anyone stocks are more in the luxury range.
