When I refill cartridges like that, I also have a small glass handy to be able to put the cartridge in there in upright position if required. Just makes life a little easier.
Hi, Kathy! I ordered an Ambition in black, nib M. Everyone speaks very well of the Faber-Castell nib. My expectations are high. About the cap, I have read on a German RU-vid channel that the locking mechanism deteriorates over time. One of the users said that the customer service works well, they fixed it for him. In another case, it happened after 5 years of intensive use. The mini-section is very controversial. Among the reviews I have seen, most reviewers have had no problems. But one German reviewer had to sell it.
My Ambition has an extra-fine nib that is truly very fine. It's not buttery smooth because it is so fine, but it is a good nib. I like the look of the ambition and that it is available in so many colors. I haven't experienced any deterioration in the capping mechanism, but I don't use my Ambition very often. Too many pens, too little time.
Hi thanks for the reply! Yes i just got it with M nib. I mostly will use it for sketching. Faber’s nibs are very expensive. Can i buy the nibs from somewhere else other than faber’s?
@@Messi10billy You can buy Bock or Jowo nibs for about 10 euros in English digital shops like Beaufort. www.beaufortink.co.uk/bock-fountain-pen-nibs I've read that other brands of nibs work, I think TWISBI, but I'm not sure. Search the internet. At www.fountainpennetwork.com you will find all the information you need.
Do you still enjoy this pen after having it for a while? Wondering about the about the lack of a real section. I have both the Logo and the CP1 and like those. I like the look of the Op Art.
I do still like the Faber-Castell Ambition. The only thing I don't like about it is that the metal cap is so heavy that it's not practical to post. But the pen is very comfortable to use unposted.
