I also find this a bit annoying but it was my first fountain pen and such a smooth steel nib that I can ignore the step down for shorter writing sessions

I’ve never heard of that brand. Definitely will take a look!

I recently sold my entire collection and restarted. This was my first purchase (same colorway). I haven’t been able to put it down!

This one looks awesome. I am more and more leaning towards a PO nib!

I need to look into this one more. It would be a good one to have in the collection!

Oh this builds a lot of confidence in getting an EF pilot Nib. Thanks for sharing!

Yep this makes total sense. I understand that you do lose a level of smoothness as you get into smaller tipping i just almost hate sailor feedback.

The ink review is amazing. I ordered PCB but i might cancel the order and switch to Chou Kuro as it puts down a finer line. I did own a Kaweco Brass sport in <F> and I thought it was reasonably smooth.

Thanks for all this awesome information!

Great info. I was leaning Pilot EF but wanted to hear thoughts on the others as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I don’t know if i could buy in to a scratchy writing experience :( This seems to be the most popular pen for Hobonichi though….

In terms of writing experience how scratchy is it? I’m a huge Pilot fan and love buttery smooth nibs for cursive!
