Review Title: All that, and more

This is a superlative writing instrument.

Everything about this pen is wonderful. It's beautiful just to hold and admire. It's feels substantial when you hold it in your hands, but not unwieldy, It is comfortable both posted and un-posted. It fills easily and holds a generous amount of ink.

More important than the look and feel, of course, is the writing experience. Consistent with what I read in reviews, the nib is very flexible and it lays down a generous amount of ink. The nib is a pleasure to write with, with enough flexibility to give a great range of lines, but not so flexible that it feels "spongy". I went with a "medium" nib, but I think the fine would have been more practical for daily writing.

The pen is elegant, dignified, and buttery smooth to write with. It's all that, and the price was extremely reasonable for the quality of the product.
