Ellington Pens Luxury Fountain Pen Set for Writing - Smooth Medium Nib - Includes Refillable Ink Converter, 3 Ink Cartridges [Black & Blue], Gift Box - Elegant Calligraphy

Feels nice in the hand and has a luxurious, premium appeal. The nib took some time to wear in and feel smooth but after a week of use it's much improved. The medium nib has a broader pen stroke than I expected. Lines are quivalent width to 0.7mm ballpoint gel ink pens I own despite this one being advertised as 0.5mm. In hindsight I would have picked the fine nib over medium. Parts and accessories are very expensive to ship to Australia, a new nib is almost the same price as a whole new pen.

I've only tried to write a few words until now, I really appreciate the shape of the fountain pen's body; it's a size that's suitable for my hands that suffer a bit from arthritis pain and therefore I struggle to clench my fingers. The nib scratches a bit on the paper. I loaded it with one of the black cartridges provided and the ink seems good even compared to the one I usually use: the Montblanc black ink

سيء لااحد يشتريه كلما فتحته طشر الحبر

I’ve always written with ballpoint pens, so I was curious to try something more elegant and I’m glad I went for this Ellington fountain pen. On the brand’s own website this pen looked nice but on Amazon it was a much better deal, so I took the plunge. I immediately felt the difference, it’s substantial, but not heavy. The medium nib writes smoothly and consistently, I haven’t experienced any skipping or blotting. I’m getting used to it, I find I write a bit slower and more deliberately now but that’s part of the charm. The pen also comes with a refillable ink converter and three cartridges. The gift box doesn’t give high end vibes but it does the job to keep my pen safe in my bag. It’s a good entry level luxury fountain pen without over spending. I’m really happy with the purchase and I’d absolutely recommend it.
