What do you think? I've had mixed experiences with fine nibs (sometimes they feel very scratchy, but in other brands, with different inks and paper, they still feel too wet), so I've been nervous about trying EF. There's obviously still much to learn and experiment with.

@richard3030 @xoagray I prefer fine nibs because of my rather smallish handwriting. But I know that scratchy thing you’re talking about. I got brave one day and starting using sanding pads on any “off” feeling nibs. I was able to get them to be smooth without a lot of sanding, and now they’re my favorite pens to write with.
