This is my first pen review!

I recently bought this beautiful acrylic fountain pen from Guider pens of Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. Here is its review.

The Guider Acrylic - Glitter and Eye Candy!

 

What I liked about the pen:
1. The looks, the looks!
2. The feel of the pen in the hand: Its soft, pretty light and doesn't feel bulky.
3. I liked the nib's wet, Fine-Medium writing. It writes smoothly.
4. The person from Guider Pens was very helpful and prompt. The pen reached me within 3 days of ordering it .. on WhatsApp!

Size comparison: Airmail EB 69, Guider Acrylic and Jinhao X750

 

The pen is not as large as some of the other hand made ebonite pens from India. It fits the hand nicely and isn't as heavy as the Jinhao X450. However, the nib is smaller in comparison to the size of the pen.

A close up of the pen

 

Overall, I like the pen. In fact, this is my costliest pen yet!!

I don't intend on buying Mont Blancs and Watermans in the near future and also believe that a writing instrument should just be a writing instrument, not a luxury item.

All in all, I am happy that the pen looks stunning. More happy though, because it writes amazingly!

And finally, a special thanks to Vaibhav. Neither my blog, nor my photos are anything like his.. but this blog of his inspired me to buy this pen, and off-course the pic here.. ;-)

Thanks and you are welcome. The nib writes smoothly, fine-medium and is wet.

      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
