Since I'm a classy gentleman I decided I would get a fountain pen. I have a Waterman Phileas... I heard it's a good pen for beginners.
How do I take care of this beautiful writing instrument? And how do I know what type of ink it takes? Apparently there are different ways that a fountain pen can be refilled...How do I find out if I need an ink bottle or a cartridge?
I think it was this one, dude. http://www.amazon.com/Waterman-Phileas-Solid-Medium-Fountain/dp/B000FNFOC6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294373565&sr=8-1
Well! You've definitely got a more expensive taste. You're lucky you didn't get Pilot Varsity fountain pens as a start like I did; those are nice but way too generic.
If you could post a link to the specific one you bought, (like from Amazon or Ebay &c.) I can edit this and help.
-Sounds like it can use cartridges but is also a converter. Sounds like you're stuck on having to buy (specifically) Waterman cartridges as opposed to other brands. Or you can do this: http://www.levenger.com/PAGETEMPLATES/HOWTO/HelpfulHints.asp?Params=category=679-887|level=2-3|pageid=3905-4920
Any ink bottle will suffice.
To clean you can just rinse under (cool) water. Just be a little careful if it's piston.
