I’m always game to try a lower-end introductory fountain pen, particularly if I’m familiar with the higher end models the brand produces. All that is to say that when I saw the Pelikan Style Fountain Pen ($34) over at Jet Pens I was in. I’m a child of the 80’s and I get a kick…

Review by Laura Cameron I do love my Pelikans, so when we saw that Pen Chalet had the Pelikan M205 Demonstrator (MSRP $200, on sale now for $120) on sale at a screaming good price, I decided I needed one. The Pelikan M205 Demonstrator has a pen body made of clear resin. It has Pelikan’s…
Fountain Pen Review: Pelikan M205 Star Ruby
Review by Laura Cameron As I said a few weeks ago, when I laid eyes on the Pelikan M205 Star Ruby, I knew I wanted it right away. It wasn’t just the color, but the sparkle that got me! I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. The M205 Star Ruby is Pelikan’s Special Edition Demonstrator…
