What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The explorer is a great starter pen. The pink is very pretty and jewel toned. I currently have it loaded with sailor yuki-akari as seen in the pictures.
Clean and sober gal is back with her fountain pen flashing. S nos german reform writes well like this pilot. It writes as smoothly as if i were writing on glass.
A large pilot cartridge comes with the pen. It also comes with a converter, the con b bulb squeeze—isn't the greatest. There is a trick to loading that converter with ink, you need a quick, snappy push.
It's very lightweight and wonderful for people like me who have wrist problems. The con-70 adds some weight, that makes it more light weight, but metal would be preferable.
I have several fountain pens of name brands and have to say this has been the smoothest to write with. I have it in the f and m nibs, both write smooth as butter.
Cons
The snap-on top barely stays on the plastic body. It pops off easily and i've found the pen loose in my shirt, staining it. It is a design flaw, and i hope it gets fixed. Still feels fragile.
Highlights
Quality
Very fast delivery, she loves the blue color, very happy with this product.
The price point is perfect and it’s a bargain for the quality.
A pen that doesn't clog with thick, shimmering, low quality ink is an impressive morsel.
I already had a metropolitan with fine nib i was very pleased with.
Competitiveness
By one of the new lady’s we work with and are job wouldn’t do anything about it.
Pilot's iroshizuku kon-peki (cerulean blue) ink is a fantastic shade of blue.
Aside from this one, i have two twsbi ecos ($32), a lamy safari($35), and a platinum procyon ($64).
I have a lamy boxiti and waterman from same price range.
