Having took part with the goulet group buy from the fpn-p I now finally understood why this pen is very... Fun it's not really a must have unless you really like fat dip nib sized italics but man.. It's very wet and I'm a bloody lefty but I still enjoy writing with the 6mm nib haha sadly I can't buy these pens easily in my country but there's a supply but I just need to dig around the city not to mention it's also a great pen to test your ink mixes

Yeah, they're super fun. I encouraged my calligraphy-loving friend to buy these, to compare against the dip prns he mostly uses, and I've tried them a few times. Really good for trying (& mostly failing) at gothic calligraphy.

 

Have you tried creating a gradient by touching the nibs, yet?

I have them for about 9 months - and haven't touched the corresponding dip pens anymore. They are just much more versatile.

The only drawback for me right now is that changing colors is more cumbersome.

As I dont want to use the cartridges that come with the pen no... I would love too but I wonder if it will work even without the mixable inks lol

Yeah, that's fair. The cartridges are alright and I think I even saw some sheen out of the red one, but I don't blame you. Probably! As long as you use compatible inks, I guess.

      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..

      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
