These retractable Luoshi branded fountain pens proved irresistible to me. They have a Lamy Safari sort of profile, and are made of velvety-feeling something or other. Unlike the Pilot Capless, Moonman A1, and others, the layout is like most non-retractables; nib and clip being at opposite ends. Ain't they cute? View the sets here. Pros: Five pens for less than three bucks each. (Even cheeper now than when I bought them at about $16 for the set.) Set is nicely boxed. Comes in a few color variations. Each has its own converter, so you can use whatever ink you like. Each comes with a cap for when the pen's not in use. Comes with box of cartridges. And extra nibs. Have I mentioned, they're cute? Cons: Pale violet ink cartridges (a whole box, included) write a measly, thin line, but stain, and are almost impossible to clean. Due to the unique layout, pens themselves are a little hard to clean, and dry out fast, sometimes even with the cap. A lot depends on the ink. Conclusion: I've been using a couple of these for a month now. If you're curious, or fond of cute, check them out.
