The recommendation makes sense, but I find the ink slow to dry so you are likely to end of with ink all over your hand and a smeared page unless you are a very deliberate person. Plus, maybe they have cartridges or something now, but my understanding was filling them back in the day was kind of an adventure. Do you load/reload the ink like in the old days, is there a disposable cartridge now, or do you just trash it when it runs out like a ball point?

That was always my problem with them.

Then again, I have that with virtually every pen or pencil as I am a lefty.
