I don't have an expensive pen, although I do like them. I think that I've lost every pen that I've ever owned.

You pay several hundred dollars for a pen, and you'll stop losing them... I guarantee you that!

Like KewlX5, I haven't bought a "good" pen in years. I write with whatever junk pen I have been given by drug reps. I would be quite unhappy to drop my expensive pen in something I shouldn't describe here.

Well, I have not always had an expensive pen, but I HAVE always had A pen with me. I am somewhat of a germophobe, and I hate grabbing the communal pen to sign a credit card receipt, for example. Think about this the next time you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription, and they ask you to sign on that little sticky to acknowledge the pick-up of the drug... I can be 10-cent pen; I'd still have my very own everywhere I went.

That's good thinking. You might like this handy little pen that I have. It's small, smooth, and handy. Only $20 at your local Staples.

This was the pen I decided on... The Porsche Design.

I love it, great weight and feel....

(I also like those new MB's with the clear top)
An excellent choice! I got my TecFlex as a gift from my brother at his daughter's baptism since I am her God father. He's having another baby soon so I'm thinking I should be getting the matching fountain pen.

WOW,

GEORGOUS PEN JUAN.

I recently purchased my first nice pen. It is a Mont Blanc Sky Writer.
It's hefty and I like it.

The only problem is, my handwriting makes me look as though,
I am a crack head who can't get a fix, so decided to drink 3 cases of redbull
to get the monkey off my back. When that didn't work, I drank some cough medicine and women's perfume but all that did was make me smell like shit and temp. fixed my heavy wheezing.

In other words. My handwriting sucks and no pen can fix it. I won't go near a fountain pen, i would embarass myself.

I am still waiting for the day when someone actually invents a pen with spell check, lol !

-- On a funny note, I was once sitting around with a group of friends and mentioned I wanted to take class to improve my handwriting and did anyone know where something like that was available?
-- A girl in the group looked at me, rolled her eyes and said, "yeah, it's called 2nd grade.."

Needless to say, my handwriting hasn't improed much since.

Thank you, sir!

I know what you mean about the handwriting. Mine is also horrible, but I simply don't care. I still use my pen on a daily basis. I may write illegibly -- but in style!

I love pens and since I am in sales, I have to lend my pen to clients for signatures. I get the most compliments on my Parker Duofold. It writes the best out of all my pens. My collection consists of:

1. Parker Duofold
2. Mont Blanc Le Grande
3. Cross Tuxedo

I lost my first Parker Duofold and was so pissed off, but eventually got another one.
