Hello guys, I'm Ciro from Rio, Brazil, and this is my first post in here.
I want to buy my first fountain pen, and, as the comments here are awesome, I would really apreciate your help.
I'm looking for a pen that is very smooth and abble to write as fast as a lightning, without skiping. Secondly,the other features i'm looking for are good resistance (as I plan to carry in my backpack sometimes) and comfort ( as I intend to write with it every day).
As I'm going to use it for writing in thin notebook pages sometimes, the ink cannot go through the page. I prefer finer lines like 0,4.
I'm concentrating on the writing itself, and not to much about the design(except for the lamy's charcoal black safary and logo with black nibs and the faber castell ondoro)
I was thinking about the following models:
INdia INK
At fisrt, for a lower price:
Lamy:
Safari (what is the best, the safari, all-star, and similars...)
Logo
Linea
I wonder if their nibs are all the same for this price range... does anybody know if their black nibs are scratching, because it looks pretty cool... like this one:

Parker:
Urban
Jotter
IM
Sheaffer Agio
Secondly, for a higher price
Faber-Castell Ondoro (I also wonder if all Faber-Castell's nibs are the same at this price range)
Parker 25
Parker Inflection
Waterman Hemisphère
Sheaffer Prelude
So What do you guys think I should pick in therms of cost/effectiveness. Suggestions are also welcome.
Last question, can I somehow use India or the japanese sumi inks in fountain pens without damaging them?
Thank you, I hope that was not very long...
