Senator Venecia

http://www.senator-pen.ru/photo/0141_Venecia_Classic_glav.jpg

 

Price: ~35$ (1007 rubles)

 

Build: 4/5

Very heavy varnished metal, with attached cap hand geting tired very fast, it is too overweighted.

 

Comfort: 3/5

Pen is varnished, sometimes fingers sliding off it.

 

Nib: 1/5 (after fixing it 3/5)

From the beginning pen was very scratchy, skips and starts to write after me. It's disappointed me and I fogot about for a month or so. Attempts to find something about FP problems in russian part of internet were without and results, but in Google I easily found сlause "Smoothing scratchy nibs" and tried a method of polishing paper (Micromesh). Results were wonderful! Now my handwriting with it become much smoother, it starts to write almost without a problems and skips. But I think it's still a bit scratchy.

Thank you for the review of a pen new to me! It's great that you were able to persevere and improve the smoothness of the nib.

That's great how you discovered Micromesh to help you smooth your pen's nib! BRAVO!! :D

 

Thank you also for the review. I've been here two years and I've only done one review, but you've done one on the same day you joined, so thanks again :)

 

P.S.

Any idea what your second fountain pen purchase might be?

Kot,

 

I would like to thank for good review about Senator pen. I have two older Senators (Windsor and Regent) which I like and sure curious about modern fountain pen from that company. Besides it is a pleasure to see the review written in Russian.

 

Good luck in your pen journey.

      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
