I designed and printed my own 2-drawer thingy where each drawer takes 12 inks and it sits beside last year’s one in a drawer!!

I’m left handed and I only use fountain pens!!
It really comes down to how you position your paper. I usually have my paper rotated at about 45°degrees… this way when I write, my hand kind of goes right/down, away from what’s been freshly written!

how's Amazon outside of the Capitalism folder?

I like De Atramentis’ scented inks innthe sense that they kind of stick to the pen, but not in a stinky way!
I had it in my Montblanc Boheme for about 4 months, now I smell it only in the feed when I clean the pen, very faint but definitely there

There are few lighter variants out there too…
I like this one particularly because of its red tips and feed!

Kaweco Steel and Brass Sport are both very close in weight indeed

But if you’re looking for weight, there is also Gravitas pen Flagship, the steel variant is over 80g

I held my Eco as I started typing and by now it has already started steaming a bit inside!

Doesn’t mean that I like it any less though 🙃

They are pop cap, best steel nibs out there and pretty cheap (if you can find one, discounted but there’s still plenty supply here and there) or look into Nahvalur, they have buttery smooth nibs and within the Eco price range

Ok… I went through the comments, and though I LOVE my Ecos, I have to say.. they’re not the most perfect choice for the job!
My main problem with them is that they burp quite often, so you have to keep twisting the piston to keep air out of the barrel. See if you can find a Faber Castell Loom.

Oh no, it’s a late 201x pen that Faber Castell made,
Pop Cap
Magnificent steel nib
Relatively heavy
Relatively cheap

I said magnificent nib already but I have to say it again! It’s one of my top 3 steel nibs and every fountain pen user must experience it!!

This set needs a Faber Castell Loom!

I agree… and if I may add, I went to work today with red ink stain on my nose tip!
I was refilling my pen’s cartridges with a syringe from a scented DeAtramentis Apple Blossom ink bottle. I got a bit too close to the bottle and didn’t notice until I went to the bathroom after lunch to wash my hands
