just wrote with my sailor 1911 compass after about 5 months and it wrote straightaway, ENDORSE
this is my favorite pen to recommend as a starter pen. it is about $40 and the steel nib is great, takes a cartridge converter and is easy to clean. classic look, lots of colors, and totally unfussy.
@turgon they’re really great, unfortunately i suspect they’ve been discontinued? i haven’t seen them listed on importers’ sites for quite a while, nor can i find any mention on sailor’s site anymore (and searching it pulls up a ton of results for the tuzu, making me wonder if they phased out the compass/profit when they introduced that & redirected pages there…)
i’d love to be wrong about this, as it was my go-to under-$50 recommendation
