A review of the Majohn C4. This eyedropper fountain pen is a well-made acrylic pen with a shut-off valve to prevent leakage due to changes in temperature, pressure, or altitude. I also do a quick review of Robert Oster's African Gold ink.
The pen is available here: amzn.to/3XwqJWR
Ink was Robert Oster’s African Gold, available here: bit.ly/3EZwfsD
