I finally got around to picking up a Majohn A2, and it has been a phenomenal writing experience! For an extra fine nib, it is wet and smooth, just the slightest bit of feedback from the paper. While the action of the push button has a noticeable hitch in it, it is still a very satisfying frob to play with. The size is perfect for the weight, and the clip doesn’t get in the way of the way that I hold it. The only thing that sucks about it is that now I want one in black that I can fill with Platinum Carbon Black and a dark blue one to fill with Diamine Midnight. Many thanks to @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world for the review that sparked my desire!
I got a Majohn P139 and I thought of the same thing - Why did I wait this long! The A2 looks like a great daily carry pen.
Steve Irwin was one of the best! Thanks for the reminder! Enjoy your Majohn!
My extra fine never was wet. It dries so fast compared to the medium.
Welcome to the club.
A friend recently showed me his genuine vanishing point and we compared them.
There are a few minor differences, but the Pilot nib is much smoother compared to the majohn one.
Still love mine. I’m not about to spend £200 on a genuine one.
I love being a bad influence on people.
