I made the same post on !pensandpaper@lemmy.ml

I’m looking for a high quality pen. I currently have a rotring 600, twsbi ballpoint, and trcpc bolt action pen. I would like to try more high quality machined pens. I exclusively use parker iso g2 refills so that is a requirement.

    If you want a nice little pocket pen, the Kaweco Lilliput. It’s great for things like signing receipts or taking quick notes.

      I will definitely consider it whenever I advance to fountain pens. The only thing holding me back is I like my ink to dry pretty quick. My schmidt easyflow 9000 takes a while to dry as it is.

        I use Platinum Carbon Black cartridges in it and I would say it dries pretty quick. Or I’ve never felt like it took a significant amount of time. Using a fine or extra fine nib can help with that too. If you do get into fountain pens, stay away from Noodlers inks, besides a history of antisemitism they also have inconsistent ink quality that often takes awhile to dry.
