You're welcome, and I'm happy to have been able to help. Just so you know, do NOT use india ink or calligraphy/dip pen ink for your fountain pen.
You're welcome for the list too... those are just the ones I heard were recommended. I haven't purchased any of those except for the Lamy Safari, which I recommend.I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about the fountain pen you acquire.

That is a lot of spoiler tags.
But also a really neat fountain pen! I almost want to buy one now!

In that case I believe I will try the Lamy Safari if I can locate it where I live. Is it online or do most art shoppes carry them would you think, like Artist Emporiums? Yeah, I only ever use Caligraphy ink really when I am using brushes, then again I use the ink stick you grind on the stone with water for that particular thing.

I believe you can find it in stores, but I ordered mine online. Calligraphy ink is not recommended for the Lamy Safari since you need alcohol based solvents to clean that kind of ink, and alcohol damages the pen. The stick thing works well for the ink, though.

I took lots of pictures, and I recommend you purchasing one if you want one.

I don't really have the money for one currently. But maybe next year...or the year after...

I see.

Being broke kind of sucks.
But, once I get more of my debt under control and I work out an actual budget, I should be okay to actually buy stuff more.
