Mi ha veramente stupito, ne sono entusiasta. Ho acquistato la versione con pennino fine, scrive veramente bene, scorre liscia e senza attriti, una meraviglia. Tra l'altro sto usando normalissima carta da fotocopie/stampante, nemmeno della migliore, e questa penna è quella che se con i migliori risultati. Non posso fare a meno di consigliarla.

Penna apprezzabile da tanti punti di vista: robustezza, impugnabilità; riprende i modelli degli anni '50/'60. Il pennino (misura unica) è un fine. Peccato che quando la penna è chiusa, il fusto gira nel cappuccio; questo è solo un problema di gradimento personale, ma forse, con alcuni inchiostri, può provocare il disseccamento del pennino e le conseguenti false partenze. L'ho usata con il Waterman Serenity e questo problema si è presentato molto marginalmente.

They say the devil is in the details, and that is more true when it comes to fountain pens. The writing instrument arrived in secure and clean packaging. As a creative person, I find the mismatched metal finishes of the Nib and the cap a bit jarring, but the comfortable grip makes up for it. No issues with ink leaks so far, but flow gets scratchy as the syringe is about to empty. Also, while this is wayyyyy better than the fountain pens of our childhood in terms of the refill mechanism, be prepared to spill your fingers all the same and have an old rag and newspaper handy to wipe off and receive any accidental drops of ink. It’s a good piece to try your hand at a fountain pen after being out of practice for decades (as I have been). You’ll know when you try a cheaper version where this one stands vis a vis writing experience. I use a fountain pen for rapid note-taking and not just signatures, etc. so this is a great addition to ensure my handwriting is legible (it’s true! FPs do improve the way you write) when I have to refer back. Go for it, but be prepared to graduate to a better brand in the next 2-3 months even at the same price point.
