on saleJinhao X750 Fountain Pen - Shimmering Sands

I love this model. It was my first pen and super easy to fill.

A great everyday pen. The body has a nice shimmer and writes as well as a pen 3 times the price.

Purchase went very smooth. The pen itself has a nice weight to it and a good general feel. My issue comes in a very inconsistent ink flow - I am using the convertor that came with the pen, loaded with Diamine Sherwood Green ink. The first few pages wrote smoothly and actually much better than I expected given the price point. After about 4-5 pages, the pen began to have intermittent flow issues, and completely stop writing. I tried multiple types of paper and angles to improve flow, but it continues to have issues. At best I get 2-3 sentences before the flow stops in either the middle of a word, or at the start.

The weight and metal body give this inexpensive pen a sense of importance and sturdiness. The "medium" nib writes very broad for me, with several different inks but especially with lubricated inks - I would stick with others. I bought two, Shimmering Sands colour - still going strong - and silver, which fell apart in a strange way with the grip/section separating from the pen. Tried gluing them back together - after all it's a $10 pen so it was worth a shot - but couldn't get it back in working order.

Pen Goulet is a fantastic company and I want to purchase a lot more from them in the fountain pens and ink department. My pen was shipped very quickly - it arrived securely and neatly packaged, with a complimentary sticker, which was also adorable. The pen was exactly as described and as expected. Pricing was also very reasonable. Especially when shipping was basic, I didn't pay for expedited, but I received the package in about a week. So overall, I was very impressed with my first purchase and as I said, will definitely purchase more pens and ink as well. Did I mention their selection!?
