Faber-Castell Grip 2010 Fountain Pen - Rose Shadows Design, Smooth Writing, Premium Quality for Students & Professionals | Perfect for Journaling, Note-Taking & Gift Giving

I've bought four Faber-Castell fountain pen. Three of them are just like this one (Plastic) with different size nibs.They are wonderful to use. It doesn't matter how long you let them sit they just work, you can buy easy to use cartridges or you can buy a re-usable cartridge you can refill (I have both) and it's up to you.I've bought a Parker fountain pen, a Waterman fountain pen and a Pilot fountain pen. They are all terrible. I really, really wanted my Parker pen to be wonderful, mostly because of nostalgia but it terrible.All four of my Faber-Castell pens work great, they don't drip, easy to use, comfortable on the had and the best part is they always work. If you run out of ink and replace the cartridge it starts writing right away. You cannot get a better pen for this price. Don't waste your money on Waterman, Parker or Pilot (unless you want to be frustrated, have the pen stop writing mid sentence, inky fingers and drips.
