I'm fairly new to FPN, and hope that the posting of this 3rd party review is done correctly and is not in violation of any written or unwritten rules or sensibilities. Please advise.

 

That said, I wanna get me one of these !

Thanks. I found a seller who provides what he calls a "medium wet" nib, so I ordered.

Pararis, is the seller Bobby/office_supplies_pen eBay @ $23 ?

 

Thanks! George

I'd promised myself I wasn't going to buy anything else from @ChinesePen on etsy - at least, not for a while. This review made me break my promise...

Mine arrived yesterday and is a purple one. Lovely pen. I've been writing with it for a couple of days and it is very comfortable. I wrote with the Moonman Fine nib for an hour and then swapped it for a medium nib the Bobby supplied. I like the medium better although the fine point nib wrote smooth and wet. Fine is just not my thing.

Just saw Chrisrap52 review on this pen, 5 ml of ink capacity on this pen is just insane.

Nice review. My handwriting is jealous.

 

Thanks, EDC! Perspective is always interesting. I've always been embarrassed by my cursive and worked to improve it constantly but still end up disappointed. Thank you for the confidence boost!

My C1 just arrived but with a generic “Iridium point” nib, I was expecting the new moonman nib. Will send a picture later, still didn’t inked it.

 

Bought with bobby in Ebay.

I love the C1. the box is really nice, the nib writes perfectly, the section has just the right amount of color to pop, and I didn't realize but it has that milled flat edge in the whole pen (which always lines up when capped) that keeps it from rolling.

 

The nib is a very juicy smooth medium.

 

Clean and elegant design, great writer. Moonman makes some damn good pens.

That's weird. Did yours come with a box? I'd email bobby. It should have a non two-tone (so all silver) #6 nib with the monteverde mountain thing and the conklin crescent breather

And the fault is mine. That particular pen Bobby made the option of ‘wet medium bobby’s nib’ or something like that which I’ve selected and didn’t remembered. Sorry, my fault.

 

And it’s a medium and it’s wet :)

I got an extra nib with my C1, not tested yet but I am hoping it to be finer than the stock Fine-Medium Moonman nib.

I just bought one from Bobby Customs eBay store that has an architect grind. I'm excited to try it out

I just ordered one from TaoBao for 106 RMB (US$15/£12). I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to try swapping for a finer nib. Will this pen take a standard (i.e. Jowo) 6 nib, or is there a source to obtain the well-reviewed Moonman nibs in finer sizes?

Having not done that yet, I figured I should try. It works.

 

I fit a Jowo 1.1 stub into a Moonman nib unit and swapped that into the C1. Writes very nicely.

 

Moonman #6 nibs are one size at this point so no finer versions available yet to the best of my knowledge.

      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
