Peter this review was so well done. I have never heard of this pen and since I am a big Platinum user of course I use the Platinum Preppy. I have many of them but prefer the Blue, Black and Red Preppy’s because they have medium nibs as I am not fond of the fine nib. I also like the Preppy because there is a Platinum adapter that can be used for International cartridges and if I am not mistaken maybe an Intl converter as well. I have not had any scratchy nibs on the Preppy and like that I can swap nibs with the Platinum Plaisir as well. I use my Preppy’s for ink testing and also Platinum cartridges are some of the best quality out there I believe as well. Can be refilled with any ink and these cartridges last a long time.
Thanks for this review. Also I do not have any Twsbi’s either or Chinese pens which so many people have here in New Zealand because of costs of imports. By the way I love your quote. Being patient and waiting for things to happen in their own time is so important.
