Hello! Let's talk fountain pens (and given we're a broad church here, other writing implements like ballpoints (!), rollerballs (?), and even pencils (ick). Mainly though, let's talk fountain pens, and also notebooks!, and also, the best ink.
Here's most of my collection, save for the recent purchases and ones that are in my bag - a mix of Waterman Experts, TWSBIs and various things. Plus a Pelikan M800, which is the daddy of the set.
And of course, you can't have decent pens without decent inks, and notebooks. Here's a couple of recommendations for you;
Notebooks - there can be only one - the Rhodia Webnotebook, A5, dot grid, in orange (orange so the people at work think you are carrying your actuarial tables with your for extra kudos)
And ink - well, how long is a piece of string. The world is your oyster here, but I'm always a massive fan of Diamine Grape - a lovely lovely very dark purple. Here's a sample from the Goulet Pen Company that I nicked off the web.
So, fellow pen / paper / ink nerds, show me what you got!
