You have received a gift of a beautiful Nakaya or Namiki urushi #FountainPen. The sender of the gift tells you that you have two options, and they would be OK with whichever you picked. Would you: 1) keep the pen, or 2) trade it for the equivalent value in other pens? Why, and if the latter, what would you trade it for?

#FPQuestion of the day:
Do you always carry a #FountainPen when you leave the house? If so, is it always the same one(s), or do you rotate what you bring with you?

I would give that friend a Platinum Preppy. Since I don't have one, I will buy one.

Reason 1 - ease of use for the beginner - pop in cartridge and off you go

Reason 2 - Inexpensive, nut excellent quality. No need to worry if lost or damaged

Reason 3 - When that friends becomes more comfortable with using a fountain pen - upgrade to a converter and fill from the bottle

Reason 4 - Step even further and eyedropper it for larger ink capacity

What are your favorite permanent inks? I mostly use Noodler's, but I'd to expand my ink collection, though various factors have me relying almost exclusively on permanent inks.
