1st two fountain pens - Cambridge with Emerald polyresin and sterling silver Baron with Cetacean Seas -- both blanks from exoticblanks and finished with Novus.
Question probably belongs in the fountain pen section, but do you try these 1st before selling or gifting? I thought I read somewhere the eventual owner should really be the only one to use a fountain pen but I want to make sure it works beforehand. Also, do you store these a special way (cartridge or pump installed and tip up or ??). Thanks in advance for any fountain pen insight!
I did try the Cambridge and was a bit surprised I actually like the way it wrote -- especially since I prefer ballpoints over rollerballs.
