I've seen Edison and Pelikan and have been curious about them but they seem expensive. Currently, I have the following:
- Lamy Safari with an extra fine nib
- TWSBI 540 with an extra fine nib
- Black Franklin-Christoph B&B Essential/Collegia 27 with a steel extra fine nib - This nib was too fine and I had a hard time with it drying up between uses.
- Blue Franklin-Christoph B&B Essential/Collegia 27 with a steel fine nib
- Sailor 1911 with a hard-fine nib - Possibly my least favorite pen. It felt dry and scratch with Private Reserve Invincible Black. I'll have to try it with a different ink.
- Pilot Metropolitan with a medium nib - I haven't tried this yet
