Rohrer & Klingner Glass Dip Pen - White

Amazing

I absolutely love this pen, first tried a fancy ink with shimmer and couldn’t get good flow but once I found an ink that worked. Beautiful!!!!

Looks great, but a learning curve

I bought this pen to do ink samples, but found myself a bit frustrated in my first attempts. I have never used a glass pen before, so there was a learning curve to deal with. The tip needed some smoothing. I found with my first attempts that the flow was very inconsistent, from a ghost line to a gusher. After playing around with it a bit I found that it helps to only fill the grooves halfway. There are still skips at times, but not fully filling the grooves helps to control gushing. I'm not sure how other brands perform, so I can't give a proper comparison as others have done. Since there's such a learning curve with glass pens, maybe GP can make a video on how best to use this particular glass pen, and attach the video to the product page.

pretty...not functional as other glass pens

I recently purchased a cheap glass pen to try out the concept. It wrote a consistent fine line and delivered surprisingly even flow of ink. I wanted to step up so I purchased this pen. It did not perform as well as the pen that was a third it's price. It wrote quite thickly...iow, it 'blobbed' initially, no consistency in line thickness and it needed to be dipped far more frequently to write a letter.
