I love this Platinum Plaisir Fountain Pen - Pink. This pen has everything I was looking for. It is very lightweight due to its aluminum body, very smooth barrel, the cap posts securely, the nib and grip section is the same as the Platinum Preppy & Platinum Preppy WA. The nib and writing experience is definitely the same as the Platinum Preppy. I used the Platinum converter with it and it works perfectly with it. I did have to put a bit of silicone grease in the threads for the barrel as I noticed that the barrel would just unscrew itself. Same thing happened with the Platinum Preppy WA that I purchased earlier. All 3 of my Platinum pens never dried out even in freezing Colorado weather conditions. That snap and seal cap truly lives up to its promise. I love this pen more than the Pilot Metropolitan for sure.

This pen feels great in hand and writes like a charm! It's a beautiful pen to boot, love it.

This is a really nice starter fountain pen, I bought this pen in two different colors to fill with different inks and nib sizes. It writes really well, is not too heavy, the metal feels smooth when writing, and I love the weight of it.

I got this pen just to try it out and quickly fell in love with it. For the price, it can't be beat. I love that it's always ready to go - even when I've run shimmery ink through it! The pen has been tossed around and the body still looks great. It's not fancy looking but it's a work horse. Can't recommend it enough!

I bought this pen based on the recommendation of others that this was a great little work horse of a pen. While my initial impressions of the pen were that it felt cheap in my hands, this thought was soon replaced pure joy of writing with this pen! It always writes, has never skipped, and is just a great little reliable pen. Sure, it may not feel like an expensive pen, but it definitely performs like one!

This pen is affordable and great for note-taking. Platinum is a good brand and makes reliable, easy-to-use pens/products.

I ordered a pink Platinum Plaisir pen. It is so much prettier than it appears online. It is a beautiful pearlized pink color and looks much more expensive than it actually is. I ordered it with a fine nib and it writes smoothly. It has a nice weight to it and writes perfectly with the cap posted. I love it!

Smooth nib with beautiful body. A lighter, pastel colored alternative to the Pilot Metro. Great for beginners and professionals alike. Perfect for EDC (every day carry) as it is not costly but looks more expensive than its price tag. Matches my pink leather checkbook cover. Will purchase other colors soon.

This is a great little pen. It writes beautifully. The weight and color are also a bonus. It does flow easily so I'm curious to see how quickly I run through ink.

Bought this for my wife as she adores the color. An added bonus for her it is very light.

Nice pen! Writes smooth and easy and it's pretty too!

I really enjoy my Platinum Plaisir in red. The aluminum body gives it a solid feel. I like the color stripe down the pocket clip too. As far as writing goes (which is why one buys fountain pens) it is excellent. When it says fine, that's exactly what it means! A very thin line. The ink flow was immediate from the moment I inserted the included cartridge without any dry starts or skipping. The amount of ink flow was good too. There were no blobs, and the nib was not scratchy at all. It's is a very smooth pen and pleasant to hold.My only complaints (which is why I gave 4 stars) are as follows: 1) The band around the bottom of the cap is a bit large in my opinion. I think a thinner band would have provided a cleaner, sleeker look. 2) The nib size is stamped into the top of the cap. Every time I look at the top of the pen cap I see a big 03 staring back at me. It makes the pen feel less professional.Overall though, I think the Plaisir is an excellent pen.

After being very satisfied with a Platinum Preppy (cheap, refillable fountain pen), I decided to try the Plaisir. The nib / feed appear identical to the Preppy. But the body / cap are made of aluminum. Much more durable. The clip on the cap is likewise sturdy. My only complain with the cheaper Preppy was the wimpy clip. I haven't broken mine yet, but it's only a matter of time. The Plaisir certainly has a nicer look as well.

This pen looks like a metal preppy, I'm not really sure if there actually is a difference. But it works well, and the weight feels alot better than a preppy in your hands.

The pen functions decently, but it feels cheap and shoddy in the hand. I prefer my plastic Lamy Safari to the aluminum Plaisir in this respect. I do find the pink attractive, and it adds some nice variation to the usual dark colours in my collection, and adds a tiny bit of femininity to my pen cup. If this were the only pen in its price range, I'd buy another, but there are others and I think that they are superior.

Very nice writing experience. I like the violet color very much and I think I'll add more colors of this pen to my arsenal.

I love how this feels in my hand. It's comfortable while writing. I may have to get another one of these. The fine nib is really great for the way I write, too.

easy to load and use, just keep cap on when not writing, won't dry out. Takes a lot of abuse in my pocketbook, not a problem, still looks brand new. Very pleased with performance for such a reasonably priced instrument, I might buy another!

I've been waiting a very long time to get this pen. Selecting a great pen is a very personal thing, Love the way it writes, love the violet color, I got the Platinum Violet ink to put in it, and It is just.. ME. Thank you everyone at Goulet for not only the quickness in shipping, but for the personalized service.

this is my second platinum plaisir; i love this pen! it's inexpensive and writes well, and i love how fine the nib is. i ran through several of the platinum preppies (which is exactly like the plaisirs, except with a plastic body), and half of the pens' plastic cracked, so those are definitely not meant for longer term use. unlike the platinum plaisir, the preppies are also prone to drying out. i'm happy that the platinum plaisir i received had a working nib, and writes without being scratchy (as this is sometimes a concern with these cheap platinum nibs).

I have small hands and a bad four-fingered grip, and tire easily, so I prefer slim, light pens. The Plaisir is light enough, but the barrel was a bit bigger than I like. Comparable to the Pilot Metropolitan in girth--though maybe even a hair broader than that?--but lighter. It writes nicely, but the barrel comes loose every time I uncap it. The nib seemed more like a Medium to me (again comparable to the Metropolitan). Between the Platinum Plaisir, the Pilot Metropolitan, and the Sheaffer VFM, the Plaisir falls to the bottom of the list for me, with the Sheaffer at the top.

This is a very nice pen, good hand and writes very nice. Weight is well balanced in the hand. I love how it is a bit of glam and yet so functional. Becoming a fast favorite pen to use.

I ordered this as my first non-disposable fountain pen and I have been very pleased! The first one I received leaked and Goulet's customer service was great. They promptly replaced it with one that doesn't leak. The nib has always written very smoothly for me with no skipping or scratchiness. The cartridge it comes with is fine but I bought a converter and have tried several inks in it with no problems. The line size is nice and thin and the ink lay down is consistent. The weight is nice and posting the cap doesn't alter the balance or feel.Great little pen!

I haven't been able to use this pen too much, but when I have it's very nice. The nib is a fine nib, but compared to my Lamy it's more like their medium nib and I usually like a finer nib. Also, when I tried this pen with a composition book I got from Walmart's it bled through too much. But then again everything else I tried also did the same thing except my extra-fine nib Lamy fountain pen.
