Levenger True Writer Mini Review

[heineda]

I recently visited the Macy's department store in downtown Chicago. My son and I were killing time before the Chicago Bears Family Days. We walked up to the Levenger department and started to look around. A lot of really nice stuff for serious readers and writers. I was drawn to the display of fountain pens, tried a couple and was impressed. While we were looking at the "Circa" section where they sell very unique notebooks, the salesperson gave us a each a sample of the Circa Notebook. To say that we were both impressed with this system would be an understatement. Choose your cover, what kind of paper you want to use, and put it all together in this nice binder. Really nice paper to write on, and some very solid designs. Take a look here:

I really like this system. 9/10

 

Later, I bought one of the Lavenger True Writer fountain pens on Lavenger's ebay outlet store for only $27.95. The penj arrived in a very nice case, nothing fancy but solid. I filled it up with Private Reserve Cosmic Cobalt and began writing with it. I loved the pen, and still do today. The cap screws on securely, and the nib does not dry out if not used for a day or two. I bought the medium point nib which is steel, and it puts down avery nice, wet line. Smooth as silk, and a real joy to write with. I highly reccomend this pen for someone looking for a nice, inexpensive pen. Perfect for students. I give this pen 8/10. You can take a look at Lavengers ebay outler by clicking the link below. I have also posted pictures of the pen and paper below.

I purchased a blue marble True Writer from a fellow FPM member for about $20, and I was pleasantly surprised. I think mine is a fine, it works great with PR American Blue. If you can get one at a discount, I can highly recommend this pen.

I too own a True Writer True Blue and for the money ( Levenger Ebay )

I do not think you can wrong. It is a nice, wet Medium.

Nice first review! Glad to see you included a writing sample, too. I like the juxtaposition of the large pen on the small diorama.
