Faber-Castell 148440 Medium Essentio Fountain Pen - Blue

Smooth. Lovely pen. What a nib ...

I’m very happy with my new pen. It feels nice to write with and is very light. It did not come with any cartridges. I bought a converter and ink separately.

Definitely one step up for me. I've been writing in dark blue using an FC "broad" nib before so this is quite different ("EF" using black Quink) at the other end of the spectrum. First impressions were that it was scratchy but as you write more, you can tell it's definitely not. It's just putting much less ink on the page. With much less surface area and so less friction on the paper, this pen glides mores easily over the paper meaning more of your hand writing style is expressed (for better or worse). I found that mood and speed degrade readability more than for FC's broad nib. When I slow down and try to establish a rhythm between of the speed of half height components of letters vs the forward speed of my hand (smoothing out curves) the results are simply spectacular. I love using this pen and will adopt it's use in the office now.

Excellent product!! I love it

La pluma tiene una construcción excelente el peso y el agarre la convierten en utensilios de escritura muy cómodos. Personalmente el plumín F me parece muy fino, aunque el débito de tinta es más que correcto y uniforme la escritura casi araña el papel. La punta B por el contrario es más agradable para mi gusto.
