Schneider Ray Fountain Pen, Blue Ink, Teal Barrel, Rubberize Grip, Right Handed Medium Iridium Tip, Refillable, Erasable Blue Ink, 1 Each (168205)

This is a very nice pen all and all, the one thing I didn't like about it is that the nib is too wide, it's like a big size medium.

It's a pen with no ink. Contrary to the description.

I was looking for something to replace a regular Parker fountain pen and with a left-handed nib. The difference is hardly noticeable and I find that the quality of ink and especially paper are a greater influence on how smoothly I am able to write - I write about three A4 pages a day. I found myself a little misled by the headline description of this being a fountain pen. Perhaps it was the way I was taught but to me a fountain pen and a cartridge pen are different and I ended up buying a converter. Serves me right for not realising.The grip is pleasant and doesn't slip as much as my other pens and it's easy to spot on my crowded desk. Writing is smooth enough if I get the angle right and I do find myself having to 'reset' my hold; I find the formed shape of the grip is slightly off for me but it tends to move over the course of a few paragraphs. Still, it's not unpleasant to use by any means. The flow is good with the converter and I've not had any problems with surface tension or blotching. Sadly, I cannot afford a top of the range fountain pen so this is a good value writing tool until I strike gold.I use this converter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0067EJQRG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got this pen and it worked perfectly for two weeks, then for some reason couldn't move ink from the cartridge to the nib as easily as it used to. To the point where it wouldn't produce any ink. I don't know if this specific pen is faulty or if this has happened to somebody else. I normally buy from this brand of pens and they last years before I get issues and have to replace them.

Excellent grip, the nib is good, sturdy quality. Can’t fault it, especially because it takes standard cartridges.

These pens are just so comfortable to write with. I couldn’t recommend them enough. I’m quite a fast writer and these keep up easily with my writing speed. Great pen!

Good
