I also like how the ink stands out on the paper. I usually purchase fine or x-fine nibs but I might have to try the medium. Great review! What a nice looking pen!

I use a Pelikan M800 as my everyday pen. In the past I've also used a Lamy 2000 and Namiki VP. Very nice! I use a Pelikan M800 as my everyday pen.

Karen and I just made a date to go to the Pen Show in May, which should be a good opportunity to try some new brands and models... Yes, and thanks again for the recommendation.

Once you pop the converter in and experience the beautiful colors J Herbin inks have to offer, you'll never go back to your other pens. Many writers find, over time, that fountain pens are the most ergonomic choice. Because a fountain pen requires virtually no pressure to write and a pen the size of the Phileas is more restful for the fingers to hold than a narrow ballpoint or pencil, there is less strain on the hand over time. Then there's the aesthetic pleasure of using something so well engineered to lay down such beautiful colors. Keep going and watch how your handwriting changes.
