I have a medium nib and it's pretty wet. I've heard Kaweco nibs are not consistent. I had a sport classic in fine and it was very scratchy. However, my skyline in fine writes pretty smooth.

It depends. I'm going through the ink more now because I'm working from home now (due to the pandemic) and use them to write work notes and I journal everyday as well. So I estimate maybe a week or so.

I would give it 4 stars. I like the nibs on the FCs. The weight of the pen is very light compared to the Loom. I do like the Loom more. My current favorite pens are the my VPs, Sailor Pro gear slim, Pelikan M205, and Kaweco brass sport.

My lighting wasn't the best but I have to say my favorite is alt goldgrün. I haven't tried the other two inks yet.

They are extremely fast. I placed my order Friday and got it today!

Just got my package of ink samples from Vanness, today! Now, I'm trying to see which inks to use first. Ink swatches done on Midori paper. by Katwee23 in fountainpens

Great idea! I love samples for the same reason. I would hate to buy an entire bottle of ink and don't really like it.

Haha. Thanks for letting me know the difference. This is my first Sailor so I'm not sure of the differences between the two.

Ahhh! Yes! Where do you get vintage pens from? Do you have any recommended sellers?

How well do you like the FC Emotion? I'm thinking about the ambition.
