BUNGUBOX Original Fountain Pen - Alice in Wonderland - White & Blue

Gosh I love this pen. I have it in both the Blue/White and Red/Black variants because I just find it so comfortable to write with. It's a great size in my hand, the body is super lightweight, and the transparent nature of the pen means I get to see my ink in there, which is fun.

 This nib is a perfect width for writing things in my Hobonichi Weeks (the base pen is a Sailor 1911 Profit Jr. with a MF Steel nib) and I actually prefer it to the Sailor Pro Gear/Pro Gear Slim MF line width! It handles Ferris Wheel Press shimmer inks shockingly well, although the Pelikan shimmers did seem to clog it more. Of course it's also great with sheening and standard inks, I just love to write with shimmers. So imagine my excitement when I realized I could get FWP shimmers into two MF nibs!

Anyway -- really just a great pen. Hugely recommend. And the design is so cute!

This is such a cute pen!! Although I’m not a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, I had to get this pen since I wanted to get a Sailor Compass and this is a special edition pen. I enjoy writing with pen.

The clear feed is an interesting feature and doesn’t seem too common in fountain pens. The only other pen that I know of with this feature is the Pilot Petit. It’s cool to see the ink traveling to the nib.

Something to keep in mind if interested in this pen - the description of the nib as “medium fine” is a little confusing. Medium fine is the only nib size available. Based on the pens I have, this nib is similar to the Pilot Kakuno fine and Platinum Preppy 02 extra fine. I was expecting a pen with a slightly broader nib. I like pens with Japanese fine/extra fine nibs so I was ok with the nib. I tried a few inks before finding an ink that works well. So far, Pelikan Edelstein Star Ruby works great in this pen. Saturated, non-shimmer, non-sheening inks seem to work best.

The pen is light and feels comfortable to hold. With the right ink, the ink flow is good and feedback is perfect for me. I prefer pens with some feedback over pens that are too smooth. It’s great that a converter and 2 cartridges are included. The converter is convenient but it doesn’t hold as much ink as the cartridge. I normally re-fill cartridges with bottled inks.
