vik_thorWhat better way to celebrate Fountain Pen Day than to post a short review? :) I've been using fountain pens almost exclusively for over three years or so at this point.
I decided to do a review of one of the first style of fountain pen I bought, which is the Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pen. >I no longer have the first one I bought. I dropped it one day, and bent the nib, and I was not able to fix it. I bought the seven pack back in July 2015. (I had to look it up. Didn't realize I'd bought them that long ago.) I tend to use them mostly at work.
I like them in general, and they are cheap enough to be first fountain pens for someone to try. (You can order single colors also, not just the 7 pack.)
they dry quickly, and they don't smear. they can bleed through a bit. The blobs beside the names are where I just scribbled a bit, to try to smear the ink, and you can see some bleed through.
The paper I used for this is an old Barnes & Noble sketchbook. Over 15 years old.
