IBR
Himalaya V2-GT, EF Ultra Flex Nib
This is by far my favorite fountain pen! I was looking for a fountain pen that wouldn't break the bank and let me try the flexible calligraphy that I could only previously do with a dip pen. For the record, I don't like dip pens, so the Himalaya was a life saver. It's much smoother than the Zebra Comic G nib and Nikko G nib that I tried out in my dip pen. I feel like I got lucky, because the green ebonite one I got was super easy to use right off the bat. It only burps when you first fill it and gets the flow established, and it only railroads for me when I'm running out of ink. I would definitely recommend this pen for people wanting to try out the flex nib experience for calligraphy but don't want to go the dip pen route. I think the only thing I would change in this pen is adding window to know when the ink was running low.
