I haven’t used a fountain pen in more than a decade and I kind of miss it to be honest. I found that my handwriting used to be much better using a fountain pen. Do you think that I would be able to write as fast with a fountain pen as a rollerball? And which model for a fountain pen would you recommend? The Meisterstuck seems to be a popular model but I haven’t the faintest idea which way to go apart from which specific ‘look’ I am more attracted to.

Now with you writing profusely, I would recommend a fountain pen. It will have no resistance, you don't need to buy refills, and you can change up ink colors/brands with ease. One fill should last a day or two with heavy writing.
Would love to know if you have experience specifically with the Mont Blanc inks - so they dry relatively quickly or is there risk of smudging etc?
