My new Romillo Pen


SAP

Recommended Posts

Hi amigos, last week I received a special pen: my first Romillo fountain pen.

Romillo Pens is a new Spanish brand dedicated to the manufacture of handmade pens.

My pen is an Essential Writer model, it has the number 23 and is made in black hard rubber. It's an eyedropper and the Bock 18k nib (#6, with the logotype of the bran, is engraved by hand by a goldsmith from Madrid.

The presentation of the pen in the box is very elegant. Personally I find this pen superb, simple and very well balanced.

I hope you like it. Enjoy it,

 

Gracias, Carlos

I am greatly looking forward to the photos!! Ondina, ages ago, posted a link to the Romillopens website and I really love their pen design, but not their pricing. Maybe after I see your photos, I just might change my mind and start saving up!

The sword is mightier than the pen. However, swords are now obsolete whereas pens are not.

Great looking pen.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

I had the fortune to hold & test some models....they are truly exquisite pens, right out of the tunnel of time, in what craftmanship, quality, materials, look and performance is concerned. The two I wrote with were early production models with inhouse nibs that wrote as vintage nibs do. I'm a bit disapointed to see that the production uses Bock nibs now (still, hand engraved, but streamlined, nevertheless). The price gap becomes less justifiable this way. The truth is that the pens are fantastic, but unfortunatedly out of reach for most users.

 

Great review, SAP, thank you.

Many thanks for sharing your impressions.

 

Once in a while I visit their website to admire the pictures. I really appreciate their simple but elegant design and construction.

 

Cheers

The brand is new to me but that is an elegant pen with a beautiful nib.

They make their own nibs too right? I mean they don't use bock nibs?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
