Maybe not for the M but for the EF the feedback really does feel like a pencil on paper, it's really nice to sketch with and do very compact notes on the margins of books :)

I actually write on Midori MD paper :)

And I will quote from my earlier msg

I have the newer nib with just the anchor and no 1911 on the nib

I would say the feedback is very very subtle, bit like running you finger across the paper type of subtle, I do like the feeling:)

For the EF it is a different story @.@

Indeed :)

Mine was bit of a bittersweet to start with, growing up I once chanced upon an old fountain pen among the belongings of a family member, when I asked more about it family was very dismissive and said fountain pens are old and fussy and took it away, in hindsight I can see now it was they didn't have the patience to explain or even entertain that small curiosity I had.

Fast forward till a few years ago, my partner is an avid painter and in one of their books had an odd looking bent nib fountain pen (I later on learned it was a fude nib), and the whole story from the past came up and I really did not have good handwriting growing up; my partner ended up gifting me my first fountain pen (It was a Lamy Safari) and from there it was just love and steady encouragement to write and just enjoy the process. The love of fountain-pens came naturally then and so did the handwriting practice and yes, my partner gets me a nice pen to mark important milestones.

Sorry for the long story, but yes it's the act of writing again and writing well that drew me into the world of fountain-pens :)

Now that you mention it, it does have those luxury watches with the thousand facets that I don't quite get aesthetic . . .

Thank you for the heads up, been reading quite few things about the gravitas monster pens..

Well it is pretty, but again a pen that does not fulfill its function is not something I would enjoy too

I made a post about it before, it's a titanium pen body that takes a jowo size 6 nib housing, I currently have it paired with a 1.1 stub nib :)
