SheafferStar Wars™ Pop Luke Skywalker™ W/Polished Chrome Trim Medium Nib Fountain Pen

روعه

This is a lovely pen. The Darth Vader design is subtle and stylish and the nib ensures a very smooth writing experience. I've used lots of fountain pens before, and know what to expect from a pen priced at £20 or less and in terms of writing, and this one is good.However, it's not perfect: The flow of ink through the nib is very fast, meaning that your writing will bleed through almost every paper surface you try it on. No writing on both sides of the page! It will drip occasionally. And most importantly, it will use up an entire cartridge in 8 sides of generously spaced writing on A5 paper. I know this because I used a whole cartridge in a single day of note-taking at work. And given the price of Schaeffer's non-international cartridges, that equates to about £1.21 of ink on a writing-intensive day.This leads me to conclude that this pen isn't for everyday use, but would still be great for the occasional bit of personal correspondence, such as writing a short letter or birthday card. But that's not what fountain pens are made for, is it?

Nice pen but there’s a big issue with the nib staying put. You need to twist the pen to get the nib to drop down however it does not click into place and therefore slowly goes back up as you write. Wish I’d sent it back but I left it too late. Maybe it’s just my pen that has this problem but if not it’s a major design fault.

Lovely looking pen, but tip of pen retracts as soon as you start writing. Waste of money

This pen writes beautifully and offers a good balance between thickness of ink and how much ink is released when being used. Can smudge if you're not a little bit mindful though it's been infrequent that this has happened. Lovely design and easy to refill too.

This was a nostalgic gift for my daughter, who had one when she was at school. She fell back into writing as she used to in school, when trying it out! That was quite a number of years ago now. It writes smoothly. Recommended.
