    Default Hi From Chi - F or M? Print or Cursive? Struggling

    Hello,

    I'm new to the fountain pen world and am in deep. Below is a list of pens I purchased to start my journey. I'd love for some member comments on the following:

    I like to take take notes in all caps print, and journal at the end of my day in cursive. When printing, I prefer M nibs and when writing in cursive, I prefer a finer nib. Does anyone else switch nib width depending on the style of their writing? If so, how?



    Current Pens:
    Pilot Metro - F & M
    Pilot Kakuno - EF & M
    Lamy Safari - F & M
    Kaweco Sport - M
    Jinhao x450
    Jinhao x750

    Hi mrbailey! Over time, I've pretty much dropped the all caps approach - I used that pretty much full time prior to fountain pens around 15 years ago for me. Now I pretty much use cursive or italic for all of my writing. I stick pretty well with F nibs, although I do have a soft spot for 1.1 mm italic or stub type nibs. Sometimes I really like to see color or wetness from my pens, so those wet stubs really help out with that.
    I use a fountain pen and a paper planner - paperinkplan.wordpress.com
