Guess this needs a thread of its own after all. I have finally decided on the Exception Day & Night in Gold Trim as my next "daily writer".

I need a smooth nib which will lay a line which measures more than 0.6 mm width. Can someone tell me thick the Medium actually is? I read somewhere that the Exception's Medium nib writes more like an average American Medium-Fine and the Exception's Fine writes thinner than a Montblanc's Extra Fine.

Or, would I be better off going for a Broad nib in the 'daily writer'?

Thanks!
Stanley.

Mine is a very smooth stub, so I'll see if I have a scan of that...can't help with a Medium, but I'd guess I personally would be inclined to go for a Broad versus a Medium...you can always get it made a bit narrower...to make it broader is a bit more fiddly!!

here we are; the green is the Exception N & D stub..... very highly recommended, but not easy to find...I got mine from Jean-Michel Lewertowski....super service.

Roger,

The writing with that stub looks real nice I must say (gosh, do I love broad writings). But, since I value smoothness in a nib too much as well, I guess I will stick with the usual round nibs. smile.gif

Based on your experience with Liaison, I suppose I should stick with the Medium as my choice of nib.

But, I still wish someone with an actual medium or broad nib on the Exception might be able to confirm this for me.

Thanks!
