FPR pens feature an ebonite feed, renowned for its capacity to deliver a generous amount of ink to the paper-sometimes perhaps even too generously. This design not only facilitates the refitting and resetting of the nib but also allows for personalized adjustment of ink flow to suit individual preferences. Among my extensive collection of over 50 pens, none can match the pace of my rapid writing style. While all others eventually start starve for ink sooner or later, the FPR pens consistently keep up without faltering.

Very beautiful and enjoyable comparison video. I love your writing so much but I found it most enjoyable with the Magna Carta 600. Take care.

The Kakari is a wonderful pen, and that's a nib pairing I would not have expected. Love your writing, SHAK.

This was a great video Shak. I found it informative and somewhat relieved that my pen the Mag 600 made the top 3. Keep sending out the videos.

Got to love super flexible nibs!

Good idea about affordable pens similar to grail ones. You have a massive project here because the looks may be "easy" to find but the writing experience is the puzzle. Also the writing "likes"such as stiff or bouncy feeling. Now, some pens are very picky with which ink they'll write or not; the paper too because some dislike thin paper,etc. When I begun this hobby, I heard start with Pilot Metropolitan...its stiff nib almost made me give up. I criticized those expending over $100 in a pen so I found myself buying cheap pens that eventually gave me a medium enjoyment writing experience and if I had saved my money in all those cheap pens, I could have easily bought a better writer. The first time I wrote with a Pelikan 14k, my mouth dropped. In my opinion, is worth buy one or two cheap ones just to feel and enjoy them, but save and buy one that brings my experience to another level of smoothness and reliable, beautiful eye catching pen. Thank you for your time and looking forward your awesome videos. Take care🎉

Enjoyed your review. I have 2 Magna Carta Mag 600’s and I love writing with them. The Ragalia and FPR I love to try.

I have the FLR in the steel ultra flex, and while it does flex well it gushes ink everywhere. It’s unusable for me. I’m recently enjoying a Ranga model 8B that I got from Peyton Street Pens. I chose the Jowo “fine flex”. It’s steel so not as flexible as a gold nib I’m sure, but it was only $85 USD, and available in a variety of lovely resins. They also have an extra fine flex so I’ll probably try that one too. I’m not sure any nib will ever beat my Zebra G on my oblique dip pen, but a girl can dream…😉

Thank you for this. Two questions. How can I be sure I get a MC with the second version of the nib- there were definitely problems with the first. Second, what pen was the second one? I could not make it out on the audio and the CC did not spell the name correctly. I have the FPR- works great and very good customer service from Kevin at FPR.

You could contact "The Good Blue" company to ask if they have a demo "Alchemy" nib to test....

IF U PUT UR FPR NIB IN UR TITANIUM PEN, THAT WOULD BE THE WINNER. FOR ME NONE CAN MATCH THE FPR NIB, ITS PEN IT'S JUST THE WAY TO NEVER FAIL.

I had a problem with my feed from FPR and Kevin replaced it ; apparently he has a feed that avoids some of the burping etc. So far so good.

Thanks for sharing! I get worried about the longevity of the Regalia nibs and others with all of those modifications, they look like good places for cracks to form. The FPR nib is good for the price. You can fit it in an Noodlers Ahab and mod the feed to fit your own preferences if the FPR feeds are too flowy for you. I still don’t use it much because I like whisper thin cross strokes, and because it makes the bottom of the flexed lines look a bit sloppy in my opinion.

I would love to try the Regalia and the FPR ultra flex. I tried the MC at a pen show in February, I liked it but found it too fragile, like I was writing with a foil tip. I have been told the FPR was a great one by others in the pen community but I see your point with the burping and the wetness. It might be great with shimmer inks for special applications in art or calligraphy.

I prefer Bluedew fountain pen to FPR ultraflex.
