GBAbsolutely wonderful experience Absolutely wonderful experience! I’ll be honest, I was very skeptical at first. How good can these pens be since they are so inexpensive? Well, me tell you that you can set aside any concern you may have. The people who should be concerned are the large manufacturers. Fountain Pen Revolution Fountain pens are gorgeous and well made. I don’t go over any item I’ve purchased for less $100 with a fine toothed comb and these pens look great to my naked eye.

GBI got the Schuylkill Chrome Teal I got the Schuylkill Chrome Teal. It writes nice but is a little top heavy with the cap on the back so I hope I won’t lose it if I just set it aside. The free pen doesn’t work at all. The inks are quite nice if a little expensive. I’ve used fountain pens for a long time. Nice to see them coming back.

GBSeems good from a new to fountain pens person. What I ordered shipped quickly and well packaged. I should have used their actual website instead of the shop app as I might have noticed the starter pack options which would have saved me a second order but when they responded with additional information it was done quickly and helpfully.

GBEF nibs for Indus EF nibs for Indus, write a nice very fine line. The threads that hold the Indus cap also work internally to connect grip section with barrel; 2 of my 8 Indus found a path to leak ink through those threads, 25% failure rate. If you can manage to unscrew the grip from barrel, a couple of dabs silicone grease on the threads in there solve the problem, but it isn't easy to unscrew.

GBI absolutely LOVE Fountain Pen Revolution I absolutely LOVE Fountain Pen Revolution (FPR for short). FPR is a small business fountain pen manufacturer and online pen shop. I've been a repeat customer for quite some time, and FPR has become my go-to shop for my fountain pen needs. Here's why I love them: 1) They make a superior product. FPR is the only place where you will find vintage quality flex fountain pens at a fraction of the price. I own vintage flex fountain pens, and FPR's pens feel almost identical to my 110-year-old Watermen and produce writing that is absolutely identical. 2) Did I mention how affordable their pens are?? These are beautiful pens designed by FPR at insanely reasonable prices. 3) They have top notch customer service. If you have any problems or questions about a pen, the owner (Kevin) responds promptly by email. And he goes out of his way to cater to his repeat customers. 4) Shipments are always delivered very promptly and packaged carefully. And you get tracking updates emailed to you, so you will never have to worry about a lost delivery. 5) FPR provides free shipping for orders over $50, and they often even throw in a cute little eye-drop filler fountain pen which is actually a great pen. I now buy all of my fountain pen paper, notebooks, and ink from FPR whenever possible. My only criticism (and it's actually not a criticism at all) is that I wish they had as much inventory of accessories as some of the bigger pen shops because then I would never buy from anyone else.
