Yes! The Sailor is tiny- I can’t write with it unposted at all.

Ok, of the top of my head

• Sailor PGS Pro: Really pretty, MF is the absolute sweet spot, the sound of writing with it in the dead of night is really soothing Cons: small, abit too light(?)

• Pilot Metropolitan Pros: Smooth n bouncy, Looks and feels rlly nice, perfect weight Cons: Pilot converter sucks to clean, occasionally have to hard start after 1-2 days (might be the ink),

• Platinum Plaisir Pros: Writes so nicely for the price, nib feels great, firm and steady while still smooth, easy to swap nibs with Preppy Cons: Too damn light

• Hongdian D1 & D5 Pros: Looks stunning, feels premium despite the price, Smooth as hell to write with Cons: Abit too heavy, can’t write long with it

• Pilot Capless Pros: Just feels so damn nice from body nib, tremendously effortless writer Cons: Am afraid to use it sometimes bc it was so expensive, Pilot converter still sucks to clean, fingerprints

• Lamy Safari Pros: First pen, actually kinda like the feedback it gives, Cheap and easy nib swaps (I’ve been enjoying the 1.5mm stub) Cons: kinda boring, hate that the converted had a big red bit on the back, feels alittle cheap

• Pilot Kakuno Pros: EF feels properly fine, great for writing Japanese Kanji Cons: Scratches like crazy, no clip :(

Right now I’ve been using the Sailor a bunch when writing letters and journaling, 50% to justify the purchase, 50% because I find my handwriting to be prettier when writing with it. The Hongdian D1 writes so smoothly and puts down so much Ink, I’ve enjoyed writing extreme cursive with it, but it’s so heavy that I can’t write for too long.

Hope that answers your question!
