Platinum Plaisir

“All You Need” This is the first Platinum Pen I bought - and I still write with it. It’s nib is lively, precise, and delightful. it has much less nib/ paper friction- but still complements the efforts of a person who has high standards in penmanship. I like the heavier weight and the attractively shiny barrel finish that has endured for 2 years of use. I have paid more and less for pens but this is a strong winner for the choice of a “ person’s first fountain pen experience “.- that you end up keeping and not being embrassed to use around Experienced Pen Collectors. One note is: I did have to thoroughly wash, rinse and flush the pen during its intial use. Once this has been done I never had a problem with the pens performance for years. This pen IS a satisfying experience.

This pen is the only fountain pen in the world (at least that I have found) that does NOT dry out without regular usage. I'm embarrassed to admit how many of them in different colors (along with corresponding colored ink) I own and I can pick one up after not using it for months and it immediately writes. I guess I should add that it's a very nice weight,feels good in the hand and the nib is not scratchy. I love these pens, you might be able to tell.
