I’ve never heard of that brand. Is it nice? I’ve been trying to use my Lamy Safari every day, and while it’s pretty neat to use a fountain pen regularly, the ink runs out faster than my lazy self would like.
I have a Rotring Freeway that’s over 20 years old, and my wife wants me to give it to her. No way.
I like mine with Schmidt easyflow 9000 replacement cartridges, they feel nicer and make good lines. That being said, my rotring 600 is what I take to the job site. For home or more extended writing I still use a fountain pen. Also the more you need to fill it the more often you can try out new color inks!
The Rotring 600 is probably my favorite pen out of all my other nice pens. It has a nice weight and feel, swap the refill for a schmidt easyflow 9000 M and it writes like a dream. My friend uses an sxr 600 for a fine tip and he likes his. I would recommend it if you were to treat yourself. I think the pens are under warranty for two years or so and evidently the support is amazing.
I ended up getting the red one delivered to me after all the praise it’s gotten (as well as an easyflow 9000M) and, I have to say after using it for a few days, I’m obsessed with this thing. It writes beautifully and is a great size.
The one downside (as it relates to the ink cartridge) is that when I’m using a thin ruler to make a sharp line in my notebook, it tends to make ink build up on the tip, causing a little blob of ink the next time I write, so I’ve gotten in the habit of rolling the tip on a post it note whenever I’m done making lines.
I might also put some keyboard lubricant on the spring mechanism in the pen so it sounds less scratchy when clicking it. But other than that, amazing suggestion! I now have a new favorite nice pen to use daily.
The wear on that is beautiful :)
