ok, i like the bexley sheheradze. i tend to write small, but that is because i tend to not care, before i am getting a fountain pen. sure, ill slow down. an xf waterman nib did not allow color to come out. i am thinking a medium would allow it, but maybe that is too much?

i saw the pelikan chart somewhere, maybe pendemonium, and the pelikan medium nib looked great.

so what to choose on the bexley. advice? any exemplars or sights to look at the line it puts down?

Sam,
I have a couple of Pilots in mediums. They write like my Pelikan fines. I recently purchased a Pelikan with a medium and I have to write big for my e's and a's not to close. More than likely I will not choose a anything larger than a fine in any of my next purchases. I cannot comment on a Bexley but if a Bexley lays down a wet line and you write small you will not be happy with a medium JMHO

i have gotten a fine based on recommendations. in other pens i could experiment. but this will be an everyday business pen with florida blue ink. fine is gonna be fine, lol

I think that you have to decide what sort of writing you're going to be doing with the pen. I'm like you in that any pen that is going to be use for work-related writing will need to have a fine nib. If I anticipate doing more recreational writing, (letters, handwriting practice, etc.) than I can afford a medium, italic or even a broad nib.)
