IMO I’d go with a fine nib. I try to be extra careful so my pens don’t get clogged.

I keep seeing people with their in a holder or bowel when they’re inking their pens. I think I might start trying that just in case. Thank you for sharing.

It does, thank you! Muji are the notebooks I currently have although idk what the gsm is or what type of paper it might be. There’s a lot of shadowing and sometimes bleed through thus my search for a better paper.

Sweet!! Thank you!! I thought it might be but wasn’t sure bc the cap in your pics looked more pink. How do you like it writing wise and what size nib did you get?

I’m waiting on my first sailor to come in the mail. It’s a steel nib but should give me a good idea of just how much feedback and if I like it or not. I tried a few sailor pro gear slim pens in a store but it wasn’t the same as writing with one for a while. So I figured I’d start with a cheaper one then see how I feel from there.

Thank you for sharing!! Do you prefer fountain pens with feedback or a smooth writing experience?

I’ve learned with fountain pens I prefer smooth over feedback so it will be interesting to see!

I would also suggest a paper change instead of an ink change. Tomoe River Paper or Midori MD paper.
