on salePlatinum Plaisir Fountain Pen - Red

This pen is really a good writer and the red color just makes my day each time I use it. Great price under 30 dollars.

This pen flows extremely well, but even more exiting is that it has Platinums excellent cap to keep the ink wet for up to a year!

I love Platinum Plaisir pens. They are my most reliable pens, never run dry, ink always constant, writes well, good size pen, light, just like I like it, and so easy to use. Best pen for beginners and me! It's super inexpensive but works so well.

I got this pen in the fine nib, specifically for use in my logbook for my diabetes journal, which is usually writing in small spaces and requires precise writinitg and lines. Fitness for this purpose is perfect. The pen writes very well in spite of the very fine nib, still quite wet. Very rare to have a hard start or skipping. My one nitpicky gripe is the slickness of the finish itself. On ore than one occasion the pen has slipped or flipped or both out of my grasp and onto the floor, once directly on the nib. Thankfully I was able to get it back to excellent function again so no permanent harm done. However, a slightly more tactile finish might be a good idea, especially for such a lightweight pen. My experience with this pen has been very positive and I have no major issues at all,merely the one wee nitpicky one. I do reccommend this pen as an excellent entry level pen along with the Metropolitan, with a slight edge given to the Metropolitan as it feels much better in the hand while writing. If you're on the fence about this pen, buy it. One thing to be aware of that has no bearing on the function of the pen, but you should be aware of: My Plaisir came apart in the box during shipping and the cartridge and nib unit and barrel were all loose in the box and it took a bit to get them all together again. In spite of this the pen works flawlessly and I am very happy with my purchase.

This is a metal preppy, but I found them to be very reliable writers. I cracked the two preppys I bought so I wanted more durable.
