Edison #6 Steel Nib Unit - Two-Tone

Waking Up

I am finding that stub nibs soften and beautify my handwriting, and the 1.5mm stub writes like a dream. I love the way it looks on page. But when I tried the pen again after a few days (swapped onto my Conklin All American), the feed seemed to have dried significantly and it needed to be "primed" by pushing ink out of the converter (probably not the preferred method). I've only had this for a couple weeks, but it seems clear that it will not be a reliable everyday writer. Probably saved for letters to friends or more meaningful writing in my notebook.

Broken-hearted when the feed broke, new unit is such a joy

My original Edison #6 Steel Nib Unit in Silver was great in my Edison Premiere, but after a few years it stopped working and no amount of cleaning would help. I took the opportunity to get a brand new Nib Unit and got the 1.5 mm stub, which is beautifully wet and makes for some very fun writing. I have also changed the type of ink I use in this pen, which will hopefully reduce the chance I will need to be a new Nib Unit sooner.

Writes well and looks good. It fits my Magna Carta Mag 600.
