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.
I have the green one. It's one of my favorite pens.
I didn't know there was a brass version! I have the aluminum. How are you liking it after 19 days? Is it developing any patina from using it? I think that would be the biggest point against it in my book. I know all lot of people like patina, but I really want my shiny things to stay shiny. I bet the weight is great, though.
Writes really great, I use it on a daily basis for journaling and no patina whatsoever. I really like the weight and the fact that it’s a bit grippier IMO than the aluminum Kaweco I also use
