For some reason my husband decided that he wanted to use a fountain pen, so I got him this for Christmas. I went with the beautiful green color to go with his eyes.
He says that the pen is easy to hold, feels good in his hand. He really likes the green color. The nub writes smoothly. It is well balanced.
Who knows, perhaps he will start writing me love letters just so he can use his new pen.
I gave this pen to my husband for a Christmas present, and his review follows:
The last time I used a fountain pen was in the 1950s at elementary school. I believe it was a Wearever pen and I remember the plastic cartridges used to refill the pen when it ran out of ink. I thought it would be interesting to try using one again.
Writing with a pen is so much slower than using a word processing app, which has been my primary method of writing for the last 40 years. I discovered the slower speed of writing with a fountain pen has some advantages. It gives me more time to think about what I am about to write rather than just typing away at the keyboard and then spending more time editing my text than writing the first draft.
If you do quite a bit of writing on a word processor, I'd recommend trying a pen for some tasks. I like this pen. It glides smoothly over the paper. It feels heavy and substantial. There is a satisfying click when the cap is placed over the point, so you know it is firmly attached. I also like the grip and how it feels in my hand when I write with it.
I believe this pen has cartridges available, but I filled it using bottled ink. When filling with bottled ink, make sure the breather hole in the middle of the pen point (nib) is submerged below the ink level in the bottle.
