A first-impressions review of the new Hongdian C1 fountain pen.

I purchased my C1 on eBay here: ebay.us/NnYJrE
Ink was Noodler's Lexington Gray: amzn.to/40gP9Wi
The paper was a Rhodia Pad: goldspot.com/products/rhodia-no-16-staplebound-6-x-8-25-notepad-in-black?aff=18

What is a "Bobby Nib"? Check it out: youtu.be/lKuyCf4FmSQ
