This is my penultimate fountain pen review for the foreseeable future. I’ll still review any new pens I get in the future, but I’m not looking to buy any for a bit as I have more editing than composing this year.
The Platinum Plaisir (JetPens, Goulet, Amazon) is bascially a fancier, nicer-looking version of the Platinum Preppy.
It’s a nice shiny aluminum pen body.
It uses the same cartridges as the Preppy, which I happen to have some of but are very much not standard.
It’s a good pen.
Of a reasonable size and weight.
It writes super nice… but I’m just not sure it’s worth the price difference between it and the Preppy.
The Good
- Good-looking
- round grip
- writes nice.
- writes FAST
The Bad
- hard grip
- proprietary cartridge
Overall grade: A-
I like it. I just don’t think I like it THAT much more than the Preppy. I think if I was going to recommend one I’d pick the less expensive one.
