Perfect pen for beginners
Metal body with unique designs
A myriad of colour options
Exceptionally smooth writing experience
Smooth and easy navigation
Being an avid fountain pen user, I have experienced many pens and inks, both domestic and foreign. But I can safely say that Japanese pens have been the overall best of them all. From craftsmanship to writing experience, they never let me down.
People often compare Lamy Safari/Al-Star and Pilot Metropolitan as an entry level fountain pen, but I shall always have the vote to Metropolitan. It has it flaws, like the caps does not post securely, the converter neither holds a good amount of ink not it is the most ergonomic one. Having said that, none of these comes to my mind when I hold this pen with a excellent grip and perfect balance. Not just that, there is the very contained feedback from the nib with a generous flow that give a brilliant writing experience.
The only pen I can compare with the Metropolitan (on the basis of how it writes) is Kanwrite Emperor.
If you are new to the fountain pen world, don't hesitate, and get one (over Safari, trust me, you won't regret). You'll love it. And if you are already experienced with fountain pens, but yet to experience Metropolitan, get one. Your smile will be wider. Peace.
The Pilot MR is a perfect fountain pen for beginners. If you’ve been wanting to dive into fountain pens, then the Pilot Metropolitan is an excellent springboard. No matter your experience level with fountain pens, the Pilot MR will suit your needs and leave you satisfied. The MR collection has a metal body and comes in a myriad of different colors and designs. This modern fountain pen delivers refined style & an exceptionally smooth writing experience.

Sheaffer 100 Coffee Edition Fountain Pen - Brown PVD
the metal parts of the pen are shined to perfection the nib is great
This pen is worth all the hype and is money well spent.
Bought the broad nib variant and it just glides on paper. Great capacity to hold ink, refuses to run out of ink( which is a good problem to have).
No hard starts found after a month of usage. Nib stays wet and is ready to write which is excellent. Ink flow is plenty. This is my first vaccum filler pen and so far I've liked it very much.
It's got the classic Pilot design which I very much like. The cap locks nice and smooth in about 2 turns. Has a sturdy clip. The pen is well balanced without posting. Cap can be posted but feels a bit to heavy(for me) when posted.
Overall an excellent pen which will keep you coming back to it. Thanks to the Makoba team for delivering it in mint condition.
Writes smooth, good flow and comes in a nice sturdy bottle. Guys from Makoba packed it well and arrived in mint condition.
This was an impulse buy and I'm NOT disappointed. Great Ink, flows nicely, wet enough. Very good shading ( Using on Pilot custom 823 ).
A lovely experience. items were received well packed, in quick time and in brand new condition. Definitely a brand to revisit again. A decent discount too, though I wouldn’t have minded a higher discount discount. 🙂
All the three pens were lovely, and I wouldn’t definitely recommend the Monteverde brand to all. Quality, workmanship and looks, bundled with functionality.
Product is extremely good in quality. Everyone who is pen lover should try this refill. Its really good, smooth and dark in colour. In Ball point pen you will have the feeling of roller pen. I suggest it to all.
Scrikss Primeo Fountain Pen - Latte
I have used a lot of Pilot pens over the years and a lot of them have been vintage ones. Out of all the modern Pilot pens this is the most hyped one. And it deserves every bit of that hype. This is my first broad nib. That was one of the best decisions. I love stubs and this is beautifully thick. Love the way this writes and more than that love the way it feels in the hand. The weight is just perfect. Cleaning it out does take some time but its worth the hassle.
This is my first Sailor pen and now I know what I was missing out on. The nib is an absolute joy to write with. I have always preferred stub nibs but this M is just great. The best part is the lovely feedback sound it makes on the paper. My daily dose of ASMR.
Very good attractive.
ordered for me, super quick and professional service, kept me updated at all times.
The pen itself is amazing, smoothest writer I own!
True to its Brand!!
The pen looks very nice and writes very smooth. It is thin and light weight.
Awesome colour.Must have in the collection
