## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absofruitly fabulous
*by H***S on September 9, 2016*

I absolutely love this pen. I'll probably even name it. I'm no fountain pen expert by any means, but I have used quite a few on the cheap end. This one here blows all of them out of the water. It is incredibly smooth. I like the look of it for an everyday pen, and even though I won't be purchasing anymore cartridges (as I plan to refill it with my own ink from here on) I do like this violet colored ink quite a lot. I will definitely recommend it to all of my acquaintances and every random hobo I happen to meet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A remarkably good pen for this price.
*by C***N on January 12, 2015*

I'm a fountain pen addict. I've owned quite a few.  I've spent up to, but never over 100$ on a fountain pen. So I've never used the really high end pens. But I've used many many styles and brands under that mark. I've fixed up a few that I've found at garage sales and flea markets with mixed results. And I take good care of the bevy of pens I currently own. That's where I'm coming from. I'm not a "leading authority" by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm comfortable with my opinions and confident in my recommendations regarding fountain pens.Shortly before buying this pen I decided to treat myself with a nice fountain pen (the a fore mentioned 100$ pen). Then I saw this one mentioned in a blog (the Mythbusters offshoot "Tested" blog did a pen test and gave a shout-out to the preppy pen). Even though I had a more expensive pen on the way, when I saw the price on this one I couldn't resist.I love my "Sheaffer Silk Screened Bamboo Design Fountain Pen", and comparing it to the "Preppy, Platinum Fountain Pen," is a bit of apples and oranges. But since I got them so near each other, it's hard to resist. This pen - the Preppy - is the one that is always with me. I won't say it writes as well as the Bamboo Shaeffer pen, but it's very very close. Especially when it comes to flow. And when a 5$ pen comes that close to a 100$ pen, I'd say it's a pretty good deal.Here are the downsides.  It's light. Very light. Absurdly light.Writing shouldn't be the equivalent to weight lifting, but as I hold it right now and try to find something on my desk that's about the same weight, the beer bottle cap is the only thing that comes close. That might be too light for some.The cartridges can be hard to find. I've always been able to order them here on Amazon, but even with Prime they take a while to get here. I'd recommend getting the "Platinum CONVERTER" if you want to keep using it down the road. I used mine once, it works fine. I prefer the refills, but I keep the converter as a back up.It's not sturdy.  That is to say, it might be metaphorically mightier than the sword, but it is literally as brittle as a twig. I had it in my pocket during our recent cold weather, and when I took it out at the bank the clip on the cap snapped off just from pulling it out of my pocket.The things I like:Price, price, price.... Five bucks for a very nice writing pen. You can't really beat that. I'm ordering another as soon as I finish this review.It writes well. If has a smooth feel to it. It is even, and consistent. You don't feel like you're carving into the paper as much as gliding across it. It has a nice line, though the "Fine Nib" seems more like a medium to me. Compared to the disposable Varsity fountain pens, I'd say this one comes out on top, by a good bit.Maintenance. Most of my fountain pens are like needy children. They demand a little attention every day, and they'll act up if they don't get it. The only two that can go a long time without use, and still not need any cleaning, are this one and my "LAMY Al-Star Model" (about 50$).In the end, if you want a fountain pen that's going to dazzle the ladies (or gentlemen -  either way) when you pull it out of your pocket, this probably isn't going to be the one. If you're using a fountain pen so that people can see you using a fountain pen, then there are flashier choices out there.If you want a fountain pen because you love the way they write and you are going to splash ink across untold reams of blank pages -  'scribing your story someplace solitary (preferably an isolated cabin, or a cave if you can find one), then I'd highly recommend picking one of these up.Also, it's five bucks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice pen for first time user
*by L***P on April 11, 2016*

I started using the preppy fountain pen today. I learned that it takes firm pressure to insert the ink cartridge properly so that the ink will flow, so don't be afraid to press slowly and firmly until the cartridge is punctured, after which you can hear the little silver ball rattling around in the ink. It writes like a dream, very smoothly, and so far does not leak. It came with a large paper sticker on the barrel that was a hassle to remove, see photo.
