Visconti Van Gogh Collection Fountain Pen

These are lovely pens, though in the end, the steel nib isn't what I really want. The pricier "dreamtouch" is supposed to be outstanding.

FranknsI got one of these recently, and while it would have been great to have a "dreamtouch" nib, I gotta say, the steel nib on the Van Gogh is truly outstanding. Amazingly smooth, well-tuned out of the box, and so far very reliable. Mine is a medium, which is about right for me on good-quality or even medium-quality paper. On crummy paper a fine might work better. It is not a flex by any means, but with a little pressure it does offer a small amount of line variation. But that's not what you'd buy this pen for. As I say, I would love to get something with a Dreamtouch nib, but good luck finding anything with a Dreamtouch that isn't twice the Massdrop price for the Van Gogh. If I get a decent tax refund this year, maybe I'll think about it.
