Does anyone EDC a fountain pen?

[admin]

Hey all, had a search but didn’t pull up anything. I’d like to know if anyone uses or carries a fountain pen daily?

I do, but not all the time. In my personal time I carry a montblanc 14. I went through a phase of fountain pen addiction, trying many awesome pens, some of the best were a Pelikan 400NN, a Pilot Custom 823 (actually my favourite pen ever but lost on holiday), a Visconti Van Gogh, Parker vacumatic, an Esterbrook J, and a Pilot Vanishing Point (the only one I still have other than the MB)

A MB14:

Mine has an awesome OB nib.But it’s a vintage pen and so I don’t truely EDC it.A bit too fragile. The best EDC FP I ever had was the 823, however. A super stiff clip, with the ball end holding securely onto my trouser pocket, a shutoff valve on the tail to seal the ink chamber, and just very well built.

If there are other FP users, what do you EDC? I’ve been eyeing a few different sturdier (and modern) pens, front runner atm is the TWSBI Vac 700
