Hi amigos, last week I received a special pen: my first Romillo fountain pen.

Romillo Pens is a new Spanish brand dedicated to the manufacture of handmade pens.

My pen is an Essential Writer model, it has the number 23 and is made in black hard rubber. It's an eyedropper and the Bock 18k nib (#6, with the logotype of the bran, is engraved by hand by a goldsmith from Madrid.

The presentation of the pen in the box is very elegant. Personally I find this pen superb, simple and very well balanced.

I hope you like it. Enjoy it,

 

Gracias, Carlos

I am greatly looking forward to the photos!! Ondina, ages ago, posted a link to the Romillopens website and I really love their pen design, but not their pricing. Maybe after I see your photos, I just might change my mind and start saving up!

The sword is mightier than the pen. However, swords are now obsolete whereas pens are not.

Great looking pen.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

I had the fortune to hold & test some models....they are truly exquisite pens, right out of the tunnel of time, in what craftmanship, quality, materials, look and performance is concerned. The two I wrote with were early production models with inhouse nibs that wrote as vintage nibs do. I'm a bit disapointed to see that the production uses Bock nibs now (still, hand engraved, but streamlined, nevertheless). The price gap becomes less justifiable this way. The truth is that the pens are fantastic, but unfortunatedly out of reach for most users.

 

Great review, SAP, thank you.

The brand is new to me but that is an elegant pen with a beautiful nib.

They make their own nibs too right? I mean they don't use bock nibs?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
