Just got a Hongdian M2 in brass. Very nice and great value for money! (lemmy.world)

I like having a fountain pen, but I typically go a long time between using it. the only pen that I've found that I can leave on my desk for a month plus without going dry is a platinum preppy.

That said, this looks great.

I also have a 02 Preppy and it’s seriously badass when it comes to not drying out and being ready to go whenever you take the cap off. Used to have it as my main mobile journal pen. Now I use the kaweco when I’m traveling. The screw caps also do remarkable jobs of keeping the pens ready to go.
