Used a pen just last night to make some notes...
I own three fountain pens, a Montblanc (with matching pencil), my father's fountain pen (that is probably close to 80 years old & an el cheapo Daiso special.
I also own two Caligraphy pens for use on cards, invitations, etc... (depends how special you are.. )
To me, there is nothing more polite & courteous as a hand written note...
Even though we had emails in the Navy & I did use it to forward tasks, etc to my staff, I always sent them a hand written note about the task they had been allocated, just seemed like a respectful thing to do...
Couldn't imagine not using a pen (or pencil) in my life...
