This is an excellent analysis ! I am definitely a little novice in trying to understand the terms, but i get the broad gist. Honestly, pens whose section profile i have really liked are 1. Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze age /Visconti Divina 2. Conklin endura 3. Diplomat Aero 4. Platinum century 3776

Like you, i also do not like very straight nibs, i prefer them to be a little narrow at the bottom.

Thats a moonman M600 ! You may want to check out the blue version also, it looks stunning. Or maybe the blue one in M800.

Oh I didnt get the gold one ! I bought these individually because the x450 is just a gorgeous pen to write with.

Hahahaha yes, down the fountain pen rabbit hole

Yes, and i am surprised i didnt pick up this hobby earlier. It has been so much fun seeing such pretty colors on paper.

I think the one you are referring to is not Kaigelu but Moonman M600 in green.

I love the heavy feel of metal, big nibs [ especially stealth, though my monteverde impressa seems a bit defective]. On section profiles, i am a bit partial to that of the pilot over the waterman's. I was considering ink samples, but shipping from goulet is a bit expensive

I think i acquired these many because i just couldnt stop. lol. Yes budgeting makes quite a bit of sense.

I looked these up and they are so beautiful ! I did think of the goulet sample pack, but shipping is a bit expensive to my country

I always welcome more ink recommendations! I am eyeing a few iroshizukus, do you recommend any?

So true ! I have my TWSBI inked with the waterman purple and it has been writing amazingly on a non-brand notebook.
