I kept seeing this pen all over my AliExpress feed, but I couldn't really find out anything about it. It kept popping up, and I finally bit. It is a bit of a time-warp--a pen whose design inspired by pens of the 1950s, and one in particular that I'd never heard of here in the US (and then, only during a break from editing this video!). If you’re into affordable fountain pens, AliExpress finds, or discovering pens no one else is talking much about—this one’s for you.
I bought mine here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4NaOAwx
Ink today was Pelikan Royal Blue: amzn.to/4tEUDrR
The paper was a Rhodia Pad: goldspot.com/products/rhodia-no-16-staplebound-6-x-8-25-notepad-in-black?aff=18
Other pens in this review:
Wing Sung 601a: youtu.be/JpPCAnblilQ
Waterman 505 (vintage, not yet reviewed)
Esterbrook J: youtu.be/iRf6gMze20s
