Good tip for the fountain pen users. These days, I can go weeks without needing to touch a pen. Something about the space pen ink...it doesn't dry out like other ballpoints. I've got one I've had for over 30 years, fine red...don't use red often, but it still works. Fisher used to make a stick pen...kind of like a bic...it's one of those I think I paid less than a buck for.
Obviously, I'm more of a Fisher space pen fan than I am a Mont Blanc fan..
