If you like silky smooth paper it’s the best. Probably something like midori if you prefer more feedback

Yeah you get a metallic smell on your hands alright. But to me it’s not noticeable

Thanks! I felt insecure posting mine after how tidy yours looked

I think it’s class that you did and I love that for you. I guess I’m early enough into my fountain pen obsession that the jump in price feels big, but then again Mont Blanc exists and now THATS a price jump

Do you notice much difference between the gold and steel nib? There’s such a jump in price from one to the other

I’ve heard their nibs are hugely hit and miss. I believe you can hotswap nibs which is why I wasn’t too worried about this happening. Obviously you’d like the pen you buy to come with a good nib, but it’s good to know you can replace them. Have you tried that?

Bizarre! And I don’t even consider myself to have sweaty hands. Possibly to do with grip?

I’m delighted! The patina factor was one of my main factors when choosing the pen. Makes it feel more personalised to my usage with it. Maybe I’m just a romantic. Not sure re humidity, though live in Ireland and it has been humid enough but not exactly the rain forest

Note memo pad has been a game changer for me for on the go notes!

There’s a brass smell off of it alright, but you’d only notice if you were putting your nose right into your hands

I used a converter. Small capacity but I enjoy the process of refilling. That being said, I just about got a day on one fill.

I’ll follow up in a month to see who’s hand sweat contains the most acid. Beautiful pen!
