Its on sale here.

 

Is it better than a Waterman Phileas as entry-level FP ?

I have one, actually two because of the sale. The Workhorse Senior is a great entry level pen. I can't compare it to a Waterman Phileas though as I don't have one. It has a smooth nib. I ordered a medium nib knowing that Japanese nib sizes tend to run smaller compared to Western sizes, but it writes a medium line. And it writes the first time, every time.

 

I thought I ordered a black pen and I knew they would choose the other color for me. I received a green and red. The green is a good color. The red is like a candy apple red. It reminded me of finger nail polish, so I gave it to my sister. That's where first time, every time is important because my sister's only other fp experience was the Parker Vector fp that she wasn't impressed with and a Hero Worker Bee that never would write.
