For some reason the pen blots for me on my writing pad. Maybe the ink is to be blamed.
 Waterman Phileas Blue Fountain Pen Kit Review November 13, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I first heard of Waterman pens on a quest to find out how "Old English" style letters were written, and with what type of pens. I found out that there were several brands, and after reading much of its history, and the history of other pens, I decided to settle with this kit. At first I thought it was pricey, for a pen, but I also discovered that few people owned (a real one, not the cheap disposable type)and even fewer knew how to properly use one. I was impressed with the quality of the pen. I don't like the plastic cartridges, so I prefer to use the converter and fill it up from the bottle. I didn't really like the ink quality that came with this kit, but I also wasn't disappointed, it seemed a little watery. The pen itself is good quality, it writes smoothly even with hard hand pressure, but I would suggest buying a disposable type first if you're learning how to use one, as the tip of the pen adapts over time to your writing style. If you want to start writing with fountain pens, this one is for you, as it comes with a bottle of ink, and several colors. It also makes a great gift, but otherwise, if the person already has one, just go for the pen. I've bought another Waterman pen since then. People have asked me if it has ever leaked, and the first time I was asked, I was a bit confused, as I have never had problems with this pen, except for my mistake of leaving the pen in one position for too long (like a month without being touched)and when that happens, the ink starts to dry out and clog, in which case, you clean the pen throughly with cold water.
