Ray fountain pen (left-handed, incl. Royal Blue Standard Ink Cartridge

Didn't receive a LH nib, but the barcodes matched. Probably a mistake on Amazon's end with their ordering. Either way my coworker got a free pen I did receive a Large nib Right Hand pen however. Writing was okay and it's clear that Schneider doesn't really know how to make a nib that at least *works* for left handed users (think ambidextrous nibs that are made for right handers but a left hander can use to approximately 90% efficiency) My handwriting is horrible right handed, but the pen was clearly better for right handers. So the pen works, it was probably just a mistake on procurement or the guy/gal that puts barcodes on products. Mistakes happen to be as fair as possible. The Large nib is great to learn fountain pens, but can cause too much flow of ink. For instance, if you have "dry" paper that soaks ink, it's a blotchy mess, but if you have fairly decent printer paper then you can at least read what you're writing. Ink quality is decent for beginners. On one hand it can be labeled as "too watery" and on the other it's the best ink to ever grace earth's presence. To me it's a good quality with a not so good cartridge. Pen is comfortable to hold and has a minute detent to keep the cap in one of two positions when covering the nib (pocket clip facing the nib, or facing the feed), speaking of pocket clips... I don't like it. It's too minimalistic in the sense that it doesn't work properly. Give me a slight swoop instead of having to pull the clip to put into my shirt pocket All in all, it's a good pen.

This pen is comfortable in my hand and writes smoothly. It's easy to use, and is efficient with ink use. I like the feel of this pen, it's a little lighter than the ones that I like, but the diameter of the pen is excellent, so it compensates for the weight of the pen. Easy writing, easy loading, it is nice to use. As I mentioned the only drawback is the weight of the pen, but it's really good other than that.

Lovely pen and a great price

やや太字という以外無問題。インクの出も良好。書きやすい。

J'ai eu du mal à m'adapter à la forme en V tourné vers le bas de la partie du stylo que l'on tient, car je la trouve moins confortable qu'une forme arrondie et j'ai toujours l'impression que le stylo va tomber, ce qui m'oblige à le serrer plus fort que nécessaire. En revanche, la qualité et le confort d'écriture sont vraiment parfaits pour moi et le stylo glisse sur le papier avec une grande douceur. Je ne sais pas si c'est le fait que j'ai choisi un modèle "gaucher" adapté à mon cas, mais cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas autant apprécié d'écrire avec un stylo à plume. L'épaisseur de trait moyenne me convient aussi très bien. Excellent stylo et rapport qualité-prix très intéressant.

Chubby pen with useful soft grip. I use this every day for journal writing. This version has a left hand nib.

右利き用よりはスムーズに書けるし、ペン先が潰れないのでよいです。 左利きなのに万年筆を使えるっていうのは、気分がとても良いです。 ただ、僕はボールペン（ジェットストリーム）の方があってましたので、最近は出番無しです。 安くはなかったですが、後悔はしてないです。
