This is the first fountain pen that I have bought and bought it because it was pretty and the price point was good. I love it. I had no idea that I would like this pen so much. It is not huge, but a bit delicate; it has great balance. I chose the medium nib with medium pressure and medium ink flow - it is just perfect. I like a bit of a thick line (and hate spidery writing). There is no scratching. I strongly recommend this product for anyone who wants to dip their toes into fountain pens. Jasmine answered the phone when I called to ask a million questions and she was extremely helpful. I strongly encourage anyone with questions to give her a ring.
