Should you have problems with your FP drying out go to engeika ebay and look for PLAISIR which has a cap which seals thereby preventing it from drying out,I have not as yet tried it but I like Japanese Fountain pens and their expertise.Trust Me. oneill

Yes, a terrific pen and a great value. Platinum's Slip and Seal mechanism works amazingly for me and of course, it's also available in their Century 3776 models and even the Preppy, which surprised me very much when I got one. A $4-US pen with that mechanism is just fantastic.

If I did experience the problem, engeika is not the place I would go after past experience. :( They list items that aren't in stock. -_-

I'll admit that one of the first pens I bought was a Plaisir. I don't really care for it. It turns out to be a very dry writer, for one thing (which I had not realized at first). Plus, I got one of the older ones where the nib color matched the pen color -- and that turned out to just be a coating on the nib. After a year or so of regular use and flushing the coating started to peel off. I'm concerned about getting the coating caught in the feed or between the tines, and also possibly contaminating an ink bottle if it comes off while filling the pen.

a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

No, because the coating came off after a year or two, and I figured it wasn't worth the hassle (and it probably was no longer under warranty). OTOH, I'm seriously disinclined to want to buy another one (even though now Platinum is no longer selling pens with the nib matching the barrel color).

But for you to say "Trust me!" after my experience is just going to garner you a rebuttal and I won't apologize for that.

After all -- as Inkling13 said -- we have ONLY your word that you're "honest". Sorry, but I've been dealing for the past 2 days with BS from internet ad providers (yes, including on here) and not overly inclined to believe everything I read or everything I'm told.

Because all Australians are always inherently trustworthy - after all, our modern nation was founded by people who were commissioned and sent here by Magistrates like Mr O'Neill! Edited by Jamerelbe

It's kind of a troll-ish signature end he likes to add to the end of his posts for some reason...

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

Hi all,

 

Reading through this... I can't help but laugh... and I'm not saying this to impugn or imply anything against O'Neill... just my friendly two cents to everyone concerned...

 

When someone comes up to me and says, "trust me,"... (as so many used car salesmen are apt to do :D),... I don't.

 

That's a street thing.

 

In the street, trust is always cautiously assumed,... but when someone raises the point out of the clear blue... or after making their pitch w/o being seriously questioned about it and they say that... it's always duck and cover time.

 

Be well all... and whatever you do... don't trust me... I don't even trust myself. :D

 

 

- Anthony

Hi Oneill,

 

Just my friendly two cents... you probably are exactly what you claim to be... but I would lose that,... "trust me." ;)

      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
