    Faber-Castell eMotion

    This is a pen that I rarely hear about, even though Faber-Castell is known for their excellent steel nibs. In fact, I purchased this pen a while back because I loved the Ambition so much. The pen looks amazing and has the details that you see in the Faber-Castell and Graf von Faber lines. I…

    Diplomat Aero

    I had avoided purchasing a Diplomat Aero because I did not like the way they looked in the pictures. But when a friend offered to trade me theirs, I jumped at the opportunity because I have heard so many good things about the pen. The Diplomat Pen Company was founded in 1922 by Carl Räuchlesen.…

    Graf von Faber Bentley

    Two of my favorite pens are made by Faber-Castell. So, my logic told me that I should try the luxury model – the Graf von Faber. I mean, if you like Hondas, get an Acura, right? Well, I was mistaken, It seems that the extra cost gets you a magnificent looking pen, but they forgot…

    Pelikan Souveran m600

    Before I became a Fountain Pen Newbie, I believed that Montblanc was the end-all-be-all for fountain pen lovers. But, the more I fell down the rabbit hole, the more I learned that there are other brands that are loved just as much if not more than Montblanc. One of these brands is Pelikan. I have…

    Otto Hutt Design 01

    I remember the day I first “splurged” on a fountain pen. I saw this pen in sage green and I had to have it. I didn’t know anything at all about Otto Hutt or who makes their own nibs or which pens a collector is supposed to have… all I knew is that this pen…

    Lamy Studio

    I definitely received a lot of pushback in my last review of the Lamy 2000. In order to give Lamy some love, I decided to review my other Lamy pen, which I really like. I first purchased the Studio because the 2000 was not in my price range. For the quality of pen you get,…

    Lamy 2000

    As a fountain pen newbie I want to learn everything I can about what other people think about pens. So, as I read the lists of favorite fountain pens and the expert reviews there was one pen that seemed to make everyone’s list, the Lamy 2000. So, when I finally was able to purchase my…

  • Faber-Castell Ambition

    Faber-Castell Ambition

    About a year ago, I began to wonder why people would pay so much for a Fountain Pen when I was having a great writing experience with my Pilot Metropolitan, which I purchased for $17. So, I did some research and decided that I would splurge and spend a little more for the Faber-Castell Ambition.…
