I am about to buy a Platinum Plaisir, Lamy Al-Star, or a TWISBI Eco (or possibly all of them) but I can’t decide which nibs. Even physical shops around here don’t have inked pens to try. Problem is different makers and countries describe nibs differently, eg with Japanese F often being like European EF apparently.
Any tips? I hate scratchiness and like some stroke variation, but I generally prefer finer nibs usually on cheap paper. If that means anything, my Muji pen is about right but a liitle too scratchy. My old Pilot F is excellent.
I was planning to suggest dipping tomorrow. Fingers crossed but the general attitude here is like going to a supermarket.
Man that sucks. It’s not like they have customers lining up around the corner so a little a bit of customerservice wouldn’t hurt them.
