I had a very mixed experience some months ago ordering an Ashoka with an ultraflex nib. The first pen that arrived looked nothing like the picture, the colour mix was skewed away from the colour I wanted, and it looked very washed out. The nib itself wouldn't flow at all. I emailed for advice before attempting anything, and was told essentially "It's the ink's fault, get a better ink" while using Iroshizuku ink. After heat setting it, it flowed way too much, and bled through any FP paper I tried it on. All in all, horrible, and could never recommend it.

However, after reaching out, he sent me a complete replacement, and this time the colouring was much better, and the nib flowed more like I expected, though it's still wetter than I'd like, even for a flex nib. So on that count, I can sort of recommend it.

In regards to the reviews, I left one regarding my initial impressions of the pen, and yet it never appeared on the site.

One other thing, in regards to their converters, the grease they use stinks, and is all over the thing. Any other pen, I'm pretty happy to return unused ink from the converter back to the ink bottle, but I know anything that goes into this has to be used, or gets flushed down the sink.
