Hi

 

How about one of these

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KG09-Kaigelu-316-Fountain-Pen-Century-stars-Tiger-Eye-Color-Celluloid-Pen-M-nib-/161099582823

 

£21.74 including shipping.

 

Mine is a very smooth wet writer

I have one identical to the linked one, and a white veined version also. I purchased the white after the brown. Love both of them. They are a heavy pen though, and that may be a show stopper for you. I also have a TWSBI 540 and a Lamy Studio. These two are better pens than the Kaigelu, imho, but different strokes for different folks, including pen strokes. ;-)

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Hi a.zy.lee

 

Both the Faber-Castell Ambition and Lamy Studio are excellent, well made pens. The Ambition is slimmer in the hand. (I happily use both pens a lot). I love Lamy, but on this occasion I think the writing experience with the Ambition is just a wee bit better, due to their wonderful nibs. Mine is Fine. (No pun intended)

I do not have one but I would definitely go straight to Mr.Pen and buy a Parson's Essential even at VAT! It will be one you will use for a lifetime.

      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
