Are there any pens (other than Noodler's) that have pretty colors and will fit the Goulet #6 nib? I have an Ahab and I do like it, but it is a bit too thick for me. I LOVE my Goulet 1.1 Italic stub nib in it though! Noodler's doesn't really offer very many pastel color pens that appeal to me (and I don't really like the demonstrators), and while they have an impressive color collection, I really want a pastel blue, pink or purple pen. I love the feminine and light pastel blue, pink and lavender Plaisir pens, and how delicate and thin they are. I prefer writing with a thinner pen, it is more comfortable in my hands. Will a Goulet #6 nib fit in a Platinum Plaisir Fountain Pen? I am guessing it won't as the pen is Japanese and the nib is German, but I thought I would ask some people who actually know instead of me just guessing. I don't consider myself very picky about pens (yet) as I am still learning a lot, but aesthetics matters to me a lot. I would pay more to have a pretty pen in a color that is appealing to me and then purchase a better nib to go with the pen. Also the pen has to be able to use bottled ink, and I don't mind buying a converter if necessary. My price range is under $50. Any suggestions?
