I will enjoy hearing what you think if you try one! I especially enjoy them in combination with their Peliakan 4001 ink range.
What kind of pen is in your handbag?

My pen(s) is most definitely from whichever hotel I stayed at last!
Me too. It my current favorite is a vey thin silver one from a Fairmont hotel because it fits in my bag so nicely.
I love that!
This is the one I have in green, medium...my best smooth writer. (I believe M200.) The blue is gorgeous! This picture is prettier than my pen. The green is darker and less brilliant/pearly.

They are both stunning pens. I use my pen daily in my planner and to take notes, because I do not collect pens, I use them
This is what I am currently using and carrying with me in my bag. From the left:
Aurora Marco Polo , vintage fountain pen from the 80s
Pelikan M205 fountain pen bought last december
Scheaffer Sentinel ballpoint pen
Zenith ballpoint pen
BIC 4 color ballpoint pen
I need to find a decent pencil case for them ( at least 3 of them are everyday with me ).

I like the inexpensive gel type pens. I carry one or two but only in my bags that have organizers.
My best and most treasured pen is a burgundy and gold Mont Blanc that my husband bought me for Christmas in 93. It was such a random gift if you know my extremely frugal husband. I believe it was 100. At the time.
I was always afraid I’d lose it so it spent about 20 years in my jewelry box. Several years ago I put it in my makeup bag that goes everywhere with me, full of the little odds and ends I need. I use it occasionally.
My sister and I call it the What the he#* ? pen because it was such a fun yet random gift.
I’m still careful not to lose it.

I find it quite difficult to buy cartridges locally for my Cross silver plated fountain pen, although I can order them from London-I used to buy them in Burlington Arcade, and I need more refills for my matching Cross ballpoint too.
I nearly bought a solid silver one, but I don’t think that would change my writing!
I’d love to try a Pelikan fountain pen as recommended to me by @tealocean ❤️
I used to use Waterman because I loved the colours of their inks..but I don’t have that pen any more..

I like that you use your pen every day in your planner. I don't get more fountain pens for that reason. I would love to, but as pretty as they are, I can only ink up a few at a time. I had the purple bic pen! :>
