Post the Cap While Writing with Fountain Pens?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to using fountain pens: those who prefer to post the cap while writing, and those who don’t. Posting the cap offers the advantage of reducing the risk of losing it and prevents the pen from rolling off the desk. Additionally, it elongates the pen, which can be beneficial for individuals with larger hands. However, this practice adds weight to the pen, potentially causing fatigue during extended writing sessions.

Ultimately, the decision boils down to personal aesthetics and preferences, as tastes vary widely. Some prefer the elongated silhouette, while others may not find it appealing. It’s worth noting that with our silver pens featuring silver barrels, posting the cap is possible without risk of damage. However, barrels made of natural materials such as leather or wood, and those with intricate paintwork, may be susceptible to damage when the cap is posted.
