Mine is an M nib, and I experienced an abundance of dry starts and skipping when the pen was new, but as I continued to write and experiment with various inks, the dry starts and skipping became less frequent. The reason that I don't write with it is because its writing is extremely wet. It will bleed through lesser papers and lie like a puddle of ink on thicker papers until the book is closed, leaving a mirror image of your writing on the opposing page. Beautiful pen, though.Michael Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065633975401406639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-45964946159473009622011-06-28T02:47:31.533-04:002011-06-28T02:47:31.533-04:00Well according to my point of view, It is really a...Well according to my point of view, It is really a great pen. I think that the special ink inside the pen is really hard to detect on paper.logo mathttp://www.ultimatemats.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-82129953395044329592011-06-22T20:06:35.165-04:002011-06-22T20:06:35.165-04:00I like the looks of that one!I like the looks of that one!Eliza Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627605324381190861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-46173771223582496072011-06-22T11:36:32.913-04:002011-06-22T11:36:32.913-04:00It writes quite well, I didn't take a pic of t...It writes quite well, I didn't take a pic of the writing as I was pressed for time. I don't get much dry starts or skipping, the ink seems to flow smoothly through the feed and there's not much of a problem as far as I can tell. It's a medium nib but not too garishly wide for my taste. Hope that helps.dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-14294686450168079242011-06-22T11:30:28.215-04:002011-06-22T11:30:28.215-04:00But how does it write?

I'd love it if I could change my mind.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930820699220767643noreply@blogger.com
