I don't think this rotated...so here's the text:

 

Intro: I snapped up this creamy hite Pelikan M205 from 777 mostly for the broad stub and because it was a piston filler. But when it arrived today, I found out I love this pen!

 

Appearence: Very basic white, which is not the color I would have picked...but it looks minimalist and clean (8)...edit to add: I'm attending med school next fall and I just found out doctors used to carry white pens...so I guess white is fitting...I just feel I'll stain it.

 

Construction: Seems okay. Not perfect, but excellent to use as a workhorse as no fear of hurting it (8)

 

Weight: Light!! SO light. Balance is better unposted and the pen fits nicely into my small hands (9)

 

Nib: This is why I bought this pen. It is a broad stub by 777 that is buttery smooth on even printer paper. Just a delight to use (10)!!

 

Filling: Piston, perfect! (10)

 

Cost: I paid $100 with the nib grind....I'd say it was an excellent value! I plan to use it everyday taking notes (10)

Nice review and I like how the noodler's ink you used produced all that shading :D

 

As time goes on and things are moving into the electronic medical record, you may start your residency without having to write your daily progress notes/consultations. Instead you will be staring at a keyboard, typing your orders and notes into the system (pros and cons there). However, it's still nice to have a cool fp to sign things when you can ...and get the "oooo....ahhh" kind of comment from patients and colleagues alike :thumbup:

 

For now, enjoy using the fp to take notes.

      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
