Majohn S3 Fountain Pen Blue Lake Celluloid,Iridium Fine Nib Gold Plated with Pen Pouch for Signature Handwriting

This is a good value for the money. I purchased the Moonman marble green finish fountain pen and it does not disappoint in the looks department. You should note that it has a western fine nib. In other words the F nib is not a needle point. I've included 3 pictures of the pen: The full pen, the pen taken apart showing the converter and gold inner section and the pen nib. The nib section was given a good standard cleaning by me before use and it wrote without issue.The Pros:* Beautiful green marble finish* Writes well* Has a functional pocket clip with an added flourish of dots and and a V at the top (makes it not boring)* Good quality converter* Well polished acrylic* Nice gold ring appointments.Cons:* It has no telepathic capabilities.* It is green with envy (get it?).* It can't write on its own.Wish it could:* Be turned into an eye dropper but due to the metal section inside it can't.No complaints here. Moonman pens are very well made.

I'd been looking at this pen for a while - it is very pretty and after buying it, it feels good in the hand too. That said I almost returned it, because the ink flow was poor. I wanted to try the extra fine nib so I could use it for some small printing on a project I'm working on. But the ink flow (tried several different inks) was not good. I did initially clean it with warm water, but today I really rinsed it out and soaked it in a small amount of dish detergent and hot water. I filled it with Lamy Dark violet ink, and now it writes well. It is, however scratchy, the fine point is very sharp. I'm going to look into getting different nib for it But if you want an EF nib, go with a very wet ink, or you will be disappointed.

I have increasingly painful arthritis in my thumbs so writing with ease & comfort is essential. Metal pens are out. As are skinny barreled pens. And pens that don’t have smooth flowing ink are a pain because they require more force. Bigger barreled pens often have more weight, another issue for arthritic hands.This particular Moonman pen is about as near perfect as I’ve been able to find thus far!Nicely done resin pen is light-wright with a nice finish allowing just enough grip to write smoothly & comfortably with a nice smooth nib! This pen luckily doesn’t have the heavy metal screw-in nib tip that one pushes the ink cartridge into. Whew! Hard to find a resin fountain pen with right amount & finish on resin to keep it light yet enough weight to write smoothly. Hate the pens advertised as resin but really they’re brass or some heavy metal under a thin layer of resin. I would love to buy a pen(s) just like this but with an even bigger diameter barrel and with options for other sized bibs and some more resin colors! And please keep these pens as reasonable priced. Great value in a pen for us older folks who love to write!

The nib is very smooth and dependable for being an extra fine Chinese nib. The pen looks beautiful. It's small but that suits me

Body: Appears to be real celluloid, great high-polish finish, no machining marks whatsoever. The material is quite thick, seems like it would be durable. Comfortable in hand, slightly smaller than a Platinum 3776.Cap: 2 3/4 turns to unscrew. No inner cap which makes me think the nib may dry out, but I've only had it for a day.Hardware/Clip: Handsome, light-ish gold plated plastic, not as yellow as my Platinum 3776 with gold trim. A bit rough on the edges but well polished.Nib: A nib. Nice to see moonman now has their own stamped #5 Jowo/Schmidt nib. Gold plating matches the trim. It's not scratchy, but not smooth either. Uninspiring, but functional. Whole nib unit unscrews from body, but I wouldn't recommend that. When I did it the shoulder of the moonman-branded feed housing cracked off. I was still able to pull the nib and feed and replace with a franklin-Christoph nib and feed I had. UPDATE: the seller is sending me a new nib unit, so this will be corrected.

I had high hopes for this pen based on the reviews and on buzz on the fountain pen sites and groups. Also, I have a pen I was told had been made by the same company under another name (the Delike Alpha) that is just an utter delight to use.However, I was disappointed to receive a really lovely-looking pen today, with some pretty severe function issues. I flushed the pen with pen wash before inking it, using the included converter. The "Fine" nib wrote (barely) like an Asian Extra-Fine, and was severely dry, and very scratchy. The feed was badly out of alignment to the nib in the screw-in section, and if the feed is pushed into alignment with the nib-tines, it forces the tines out of alignment with each other, hence the scratchy, dry nib. The nib is, in my opinion, not usable, since it does not appear to be a friction-fit nib I can remove from the section and reposition correctly.BTW, I have over 40 years as a fountain pen enthusiast, tuning and modifying/customizing my own nibs for many years. If I wish to use this pretty pen-body, I will have to find a replacement nib that fits it.As for that pretty pen-body, I personally don't have a problem with the number of threads to uncap the pen. However, there is no inner cap (cap-liner), and the cap, while it does post, does not post securely, and will begin to wobble and eventually fall off. I imagine one could really jam it on there, but not if the lovely finish is to be kept un-marred.All in all, big disappointment for me, and I don't see myself buying any more pens from this maker.

Yeah, this is definitely a "cheap" feeling and looking pen. I've had issues with ink flow from the start. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty to look at, however, there are just fundamental flaws. The amount of turns to uncap is one, the nib is not the best quality, and yeah, it does look kind of cheapie. I'd rather spend a little more money on a PenBBS or even a Fountain Pen Revolution than on another one of these.
