Cartier Santos Dumont ballpoint or S.T. Dupont line D ballpoint. Which one do you prefer?

I've never seen or tried a Cartier pen of any sort.

 

I do have about 7 different ST Dupont pens and they are all spectacular.

 

Thanks. I ended up buying a ST Dupont Line D ballpoint. Not the one on the pic, but the new line D in all black with platinum details. It's excellent! What's your opinion on the Defi ballpoint?

I have a Cartier Diabolo BP, which I really like. I should imagine that both brands are quite similar in quality and style. :)

Probably, but I had a Roadster ballpoint once, and it was a bit heavy on the top.

I have the Carbon Fiber version of the Defi in Palladium. I love this pen.

 

My only complaint is that it is a total fingerprint magnet, but it really does feel wonderful to the touch. On the rare occasions that I use a ballpoint pen (and today was one of those days)....I reach for the Defi

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
