I'm very curious about retractable fountain pens. Which one is your favorite of the bunch? Price being no consequence.
Easily the Majohn A2, but only after I modified it to have an oblique nib. It was entirely too pointy before that.
Sans modification, probably the Curidas.
The worst of the bunch is the Oaso.
Just saw that the Majohn A2 has a lot of colors to choose from. God help me.
Check out the A1 as well, they have some different colour options that are really nice.
I have some Pilot vanishing points, and I still bought a yellow A1 since it's such a beautiful shade of glossy yellow that I couldn't find from Pilot. Also I was able to use my Pilot calligraphy nib with it, since they're compatible (and I think that nib alone cost about 3-4 times the price of the Mahjohn lol).
Do it! You won't be disappointed.
