Depends on the ink and paper. Imo Pilot Metro is way better starter pen, cheaper too.

bump so to monitor this thread

I bought a Parker Vector about a month ago and it's been great. Doesn't seem to smudge at all (and I'm a lefty). Most of the criticism of it seems to be that you can't swap the nibs, so you're generally going to be using a medium. Plus it's light, durable and designed for ease of use.

I'm FP collector and I've never known the appeal of this thing. I just cant do it. The best entry level pen right now is the TWSBI 580. If you can spend a little more then I'd go for the TWSBI vac mini. If you need to spend a little less then go for the TWSBI eco. Honestly. I own multiple $1000+ pens but I find myself reaching for my vac mini super often

I love my hand fedora

Are we talking about fountain pens?

That's a gorgeous pen anon.

You're correct about TWSBI too, it's a far better choice. Lamy pens have inferior build quality and scratchier nibs, and really aren't that much cheaper for a tool that will last for years.

i use a mixture of vampire blood and holy water for a pastel rose-blush

Lamy has more stub options—that 1.9 stub is to die for—and TWSBI pens aren't built to take a beating.

If you use an expensive pen then you are a pseud. No meme. No joke.

Not really dude. It's something me and my dad bond on and it's a hobby of mine. It's like record collecting or something. When it's a passion, the money becomes less important. $1000 is a lot for a pen, but it's nothing for a passion

This doesn't change anything I said. You are a pseud defending being a pseud.

is fountain pens a sign of autism?

anyways, safaris are overrated although that doesnt mean theyre bad.

the nib isnt great. jinhao x450 or the hero 889 are the true starter pens.
