Casual Pen Recommendation
Can anyone recommend a pen that is relatively inexpensive that I could carry in my shirt pocket without worry of losing? I'm writing with Monte Blanc ball point, now, and frequently with a Pelikan fountain. I want to buy one that will give me the comfort of the MB mp, but inexpensive enough, if lost, it wouldn't hurt that much. Once you've worked with nicer pens, the Bics don't cut the cloth, so to speak. Thanks
Ciao Rolio |

You could check into the brand called Lamy. They have fountain pens in different price points!!!

I'm a fan of Cross for an inexpensive brand. Or, you could adapt a MB rollerball refill to a Pilot G2...

 Lamy Safari would be a great choice.

Lamy's, Pelikan's and others are very affordable.
I love my Lamy FP.

Retro 51 has some inexpensive (but fun!) rollerballs.

I have been carrying Visconti Opera rollerballs as my everyday; not as recognizable as MB, yet balanced well with similar quality.
I have seen other Visconti models (Rembrandt) on the Bay for reasonable prices.. -Sheldon
