Faber-Castell School+, Black

[Snowyfox]

I'm new to fountain pens, and this is the first post for my account; an incredibly bad review of the less popular Faber-Castell School+ that I bought earlier today.

 

My handwriting is seriously bad and I cannot write in cursive at all. Please forgive me. I'm working on remedying that, but it'll take a while.

 

More shots, including various shots of the pen, and a close-up of the nib.

 

One aspect I forgot to mention (but was addressed in the other reviews around the net) was that the nib is curved down and juts out less compared to many other pens' nibs. It's also around the same size as a Loom, and by extension is also significantly smaller than a Jinhao X750.

I have a number of these bought from the Range near Portsmouth UK. The nibs are marked "M" but they write as a fine (or extra fine, but not as fine as the Loom/Basic EF).

 

The nib design looks similar to the Faber Castell WRITink.

 

They priced at under £3.00, and at that price I have stockpiled a number of these (particularly the black ones with the simulated carbon fibre finish)

 

I have been carrying the blue one in my trouser/pants front pocket for ~6 months now with no problems.

 

They start first time even after a week of non-use.
