Bonjour

Some guys do knows me as a Waterman adict. It's true

But, (I'm french) a day that I do phone to Mr Mora (Morastylos.com), we talk me about Graf von Faber Castell at good price (because a friend on a french forum have one Graf and says me it's a so nice pen). He told me that he have nice price on old Graf serie at 215 euros for a new pen (against 430 euros for the (same) new collection!!) (you can go to, 2 Graf still for sell : 1 Ebene, 1 Penambouc at 220 euros, new pen from Mora, you will not find best price for this type of pen : You can said that you' know me, Mr Mora knows me too now with the some pens I've bought !!!)

Then, I think :why not

After this phone call, I think "why do I take this pe, perhaps I will not love this pen ...."

When pen arrived, I tested it and WAOU, what a very good nib, smooth (F nib) like singing nib (nib make very nice noise !) and a very good pen, very good in hand

And when a retailer from shop who will closed told me that she have a new Graf in silver sterling for sale at 275 euros (on net, in France, retail price is 650/675 euros !!) I say immediatly : "keep it for me !"

ANd then , it comes : what a pen, with M nib, more large than a Waterman M but so smooth, very easy to use on paper !!

Graf is really great pen, more than more known brand (I don't like MB pen !!) and very, very good finished

 

Here are my Graf

Nice review, great looking pen, thanks.

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

      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
