Anyone tried writing with a brush pen?
Seems like fun, saw a couple of videos on Youtube.

Well, I am using Waterman's "Havana Brown" ink: It is very smooth and of ritch colour but takes some time to dry...
Luckily I have a Lamy AL-Star (broad nib) in coffee brown finish what makes a great match to the ink.
No favourites for me...but I do prefer shading inks.
Tried a brush pen the other day. I got one with ink to try. Liked it so much that I got another with a smaller tip, but this one needs to be filled with ink (can use fp ink).
I found brush pens are quite cool if you just want to doodle and draw. Writing needs more control but brush-writing looks quite unique.

I went with the black one (or 'Makrolon' which just makes it seem even cooler) over the stainless steel one. Mainly because of price because the SS one is double the price, but I also like the black/silver look. Really sleek design, nice springy clip, great 'clipping' cap, and really smooth piston filling system.
@brim71 I really like the lamy 2k pics with the piano
I'm still hesitant on getting the 2k, I'm not sure if I'll like it or not be honest. I was actually thinking about saving up for a Pilot Custom 823 or 74 in the future. But a part of me still wants to give the Lamy a try
I have pretty small handwriting, so it'll have to be an extra fine if I do get one (hence my preference towards japanese nibs)
If there is a place where you can try the 2k out I'd definitely give it a shot. It's what I would call a writer's pen, because it's so comfortable in the hand, well... my hand anyway. And yes, if you like Japanese nibs, get the EF. The EF 2k I tested wrote like a normal F.

I have the black in EF, but whenever I see the SS I feel like getting it too.
