Good luck finding paper they will write on.

My local Barnes and Noble carries about 15 different brands of (good) notebooks from around the world, and a large selection of writing implements that aren’t fountain pens. Doodling, writing, drawing, whatever is enjoying a revival. Not just fountain pens.

The stationary shop around the corner from my office downtown has a lot of fountain pens and dozens of inks. Every time I’ve been in there is has been busier than it seems it should have any right to be.

It's not that hard. Stationery shops do exist, even online if you don't have one locally.

What I meant was that you cannot just clip one in your pocket and use it as your daily driver. Try signing a receipt, or even saying to someone (as for example I did, this past Tuesday), hand me a piece of scrap paper and I will write down the instructions for processing acrylic paint waste water.
