One of the best options for getting into fountain pens. I like the kakuno EF and F nibs
Pilot Kakuno Madoromi Gold Fine Nib Pink
This is hands down one of the best gel ink pens of all time. I’ve used the 0.38 mm for years. The ink flows and the writing is smooth, plus the s-gel line is affordable and easy to find.
Sharpie S-Gel Ultra Fine 0.38mm Black 4ct
The Kaweco sport is a great fountain pen to level up to. So convenient and compact to throw in a bag and carry on the go.
