In my last video, I told you about five fountain pens I will never buy again. In this follow-up video, I go over my top six recommendations for trustworthy alternatives -- fountain pens that have either withstood the test of time for me or feel likely to do so. All of these fountain pens are under $50, and often much less, making these budget-friendly options, especially if you're new to fountain pens.
