Best fountain pen for a budget of up to ₹15k?
My birthday’s coming up next month and I’m planning on getting myself a fountain pen as a gift
So far, I have gotten these:
- Pierre Cardin Golden Eye: Bought it to try fountain pens and loved it. It was scratchy at first but after some tweaking and putting in Iroshizuku ink, it writes great. It has a lot of feedback though (which I don’t actually mind).
- Sheaffer 100 (F): My first pricier purchase. It is my favorite so far. It’s so smooth plus the brushed metal and weight is what I have come love. I unfortunately dropped it and the nib bent. Have sent it for repairs currently.
- Jinhao 82 mini (F): Got this just a week ago since I wanted a small pen to keep in my purse plus also wanted to try a Chinese pen. love this so far too! So smooth! Ever since my Sheaffer is gone, this has been my daily main writer.
- Lamy Safari (M): I did not like this pen. It feels like a cheap pen when held and the M is too thick. I have decided to use it for bold headings and stuff only.
- Pilot MR (M): I haven’t yet used this pen. Waiting for an ink to come.
I’m open to suggestions on which pen to get. I’m also wondering if it’s better to get one premium pen or try a couple of cheaper Chinese pens like Asvine.
My preferred nib size if F (Japanese M)
I mostly use them for journaling with a bit of doodling and maintaining my tasks list everyday
