I got myself into the fountain pen community with the Hong Dian Purple Forest. I am VERY proud of that pen! I have bought three of them. This latest one has been extremely durable. It's been ran over with a car, dropped in a river, lost several times to return with some major scratches, but it lives on very strong. My one complaint that you mention in this video is that it is fully metal, particularly the grip where I write from. I prefer to write from farther up on my pen, but with it being metal it has no absorption of ANY kind of skin moisture. So I find myself constantly re-setting where my fingers are on my pen because they slide towards the nib. I am considering to buy this Faber Castell, hopefully it won't produce the same issue.
hi there, the barrel is straight so i dont think u will have that hand sliding problem on this one. like i said, faber castell makes ones of the great steel nib so i recommend u get this 😀🙃😁
Fountain pens are a false economy created by youtubers. Anyone who pays more than $5.00 for a fountain pen is throwing money away because they'll never recoup their cost.
Para personas como usted existen el bolígrafo bic. Cualquiera que pague más de 10 euros en una camisa desperdicia el dinero. Quien pague más de 10.000 euros en un coche desperdicia el dinero. Las plumas estilográficas existen varios siglos antes de existir los TH-cam es y de muy distintos precios, según materiales y clase del comprador.
Doesn't like fountain pen and is on a fountain pen YT page looking at High quality and well known brand and complaining about price that matches the product.😂 there is the dollar menu for you at McDonald's that will satisfy your low cost to match your low taste
@@Axanthic_keeper602 never once did I say I didn't like fountain pens. Again, for the imbeciles whom lack critical thinking skills, what I said was, anything more than $5.00 is a waste of money. And I wouldn't know. I've never eaten at McDonalds.

Love Faber Castell pens. And you’re right about their extra fine nibs. They are more like Japanese extra fine nibs than western versions.
This one is beautiful! Thanks for your review.
can you replace the nib? I'm looking for fountain pens that allow you to replace the nib
Yes you can replace the nib section
I ordered the pen with a medium nib and also purchased a separate fine nib.
