@hypnogoria if your nib feels a little scratchy or scratchy just draw straight lines on cardboard to gently break it back in - once the black pvd coating wears through on the 'contact with paper' bit the feel changed a little on mine
@evilstevie thanks for the tip!
@hypnogoria I use mine with Parker Quink in black for writing, flows nicely and dries nicely. I refill through the nib, which is a bit wasteful but a lot less messy...
really must try out different inks at some point, but never remember in time
