Schicker filler with good spring and an attractive housing

After I pulled out some time ago in a "filler mood" my old school fountain pen again, I now allowed myself this Faber-Castell. The pen looks absolutely elegant and time-out with the matte aluminum body and colored anodized cap. A real eye-catcher, which looks much more expensive than it actually is.

The spring is, as here already often read of very high quality and writes like butter. No scratching, as I knew it from my Lamy- and Pelican fillers from school. In retrospect, I would say, though, I would have preferred to take a pen thin because the thickness B is still very thick and not as good fits to my work. Individually seem the springs not available or if, then exceed at a price of the whole of the filler ... strange.

Why I disconnect a star's grip when writing. The elegant smooth housing here has the disadvantage that it easily slips something in his hand and you need to access by law firm, which strained the finger permanently. The rather high weight, which produces at first a high-quality feeling is here then not quite so convenient. So in my view, more of a filler for beautiful postcards and peppy signatures as for long letters.
