The TWSBI Eco Fountain pen is very reliable at an affordable price point.
Details:
An easy guide in choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world:
If you write small, go with an EF
For the normal writer, F is the most popular
If you tend to lean on a bigger font, M will be perfect
B is for statements!! Sign a check in B, write a header in B, do some coloring/shading in B
Stub nibs are italic in writing style (have a special card or invitation to write?)
I purchased this pen on a recommendation from a friend who is a big collector. I was looking for something that was budget friendly and easy to start with, and this satisfied both of those for me. I purchased the medium nib to use inks that have a bit of glitter to them and I'm very happy I did. The pen writes beautifully and definitely allows the glittery inks to pass through. Yellow is one of my favourite colours and this is a gorgeous bright yellow in person. Very happy with my purchase and I look forward to ordering more things in the future!
