The fountain pen is considered to be the most elegant and sophisticated writing instrument, making it a favorite among pen enthusiasts who have meticulous and careful writing styles. If you already have one, you probably already know that there is simply something special and exquisite about writing with it. If you don't already have one, you should consider getting one.
However, have you ever considered whether or not it is necessary to clean your fountain pen on a regular basis?
The answer to that question is yes, without a doubt! Even the most costly ones need to be cared for and maintained on a consistent basis.
The delight you get from using a fountain pen may be severely diminished by the presence of dirt and dried ink.
When your pen begins to skip strokes while you are writing, this is the first indication that it needs to be cleaned. The need for cleaning arises even if the pen does not exhibit any signs of ink depletion.
It is important to clean it on a regular basis, particularly if you haven't used it for a while.
To tell you the truth, it's going to need some work on your part to get it clean. Nevertheless, when you take into consideration the fact that a fountain pen will live for a longer period of time if it is well maintained, you will see that it is well worth your effort. It's a lot of fun to simply fiddle about with your pen and examine all of the component elements that go into making it the one-of-a-kind writing experience that it is. The process is even entertaining.
It's possible that cleaning a fountain pen is similar to how you feel about preparing coffee in the morning. You have to go through a number of stages (steps that, after some time, become second nature to you), and there is a rewarding sense at each point along the way. The moment when you can finally relax and take pleasure in the work that you've put in is, of course, the most gratifying stage.
Additionally, there is no need for alarm since the upkeep of your go-to pen is not complicated in the least.
