What an interesting educational consumer experience for fountain pens! It’s been years and years since I’ve owned one and 40 years ago, I remember the smooth flow of writing with a fountain pen, but always having an ink stain on my finger! I’m sure it was user error, because it worked perfectly until I had to replace the ink cartridge.
Thank you @elizabethhcottrell for this fountain pen review and for the November celebration writing prompts, along with the USPS deadlines for holiday shipping. Somehow the holidays sneak up on me and I find myself racing to the post office before the deadline!
I'm so glad you found this helpful and fun -- and no, it wasn't user error -- some pens really do seem to stain fingers worse than others. I have yet to refill a fountain pen without getting ink on my fingers. Sigh...

At least I know I’m in good company 😉
