I've been using this pen for a while, not sure how long with the hero 234 ink. It's perfect. The nib and the pen itself still has the old moonman branding.

Do you have a workhouse pen?

I like this pen too but I find it tends to dry out on me too quickly. It is certainly worth buying.

My workhorse pen tends to be a Ranga #3 (#5?) ebonite pen with a Franklin Christoph nib.

Yeah, it does dry if I set it out for too long ๐Ÿ™‚ but I use it enough that it isn't an issue.

Ooh. I've heard about the ranga pens! They look gorgeous to me!

It is true I let it sit too long between uses. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Ranga pens are great. Ranga nibs are good enough, but get one without a nib and get a Franklin Christoph nib instead.
