Damn, did I read a lot of JUNK about Kennedy as a teen (ca 1990). Anyway I didn't ask, because of that, but kids certainly did.

Curses. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to replace my current DrGrip Gel. (Unlikely, I don't use it nearly as much as I used to do to changing work conditions)

There is (or was) a Dr Grip gel that uses the same cartridge as a G2. I used to rip G2s apart as emergency refills back in the day. I dont know if the internals on a non Gel DrGrip are similar enough.

Well, the front was poorly glued in (and it's over 15 years old) so that basically popped off so now so I have to do is get the back paper unglued then clean this up & decide what do with it.

And by "hates fountain pens" I mean turns a CM Pilot Metro into a scratchy, horrifying mess. Just thick, toothy, slow-drying wood pulp.
I've met cardboard that was a better writing experience.

Pilot Metro is such a good choice. Both of mine came with both a cartridge & a convertor

Forgive the handwriting, it's speedy & angular, but my best work.

The top is the line from my DrGrip, the bottom from a Pilot Metropolitan, which I'd recommend as a starter pen in this case (or either a Platinum Plaisir or Lamy Safari or AL-star). All are roughly in the 20-30 USD range.

What do you value about the G2?
For years I used a Dr grip with g2 05 refills bc it was a reliable line and the gel ink was much easier to use for me than a ballpoint.
Fountain pins generally require even lighter pressure than the gel, also have a reliable line but I find use ink faster than a G2.

Ok, but that's neat, precise & very legible. 10/10 no notes.
