I've been using a Majohn A1 retractable fountain pen for about 10 months. It hasn't been pure joy, but as my daily writer, it's pretty handy. When I'm at work I am frequently jotting down info from phone calls, so having a pen I can open with one hand is great. Each morning I have to re-start the pen because the fine nib has dried out, but then it will usually work the whole day. A restart involves a napkin or tissue over the end, and then 2 or three shakes to get a drop of ink to come out the end. So, not ideal, but it's quick. Do you use a retractable fountain pen? Which one, and what's your experience been?
