- [FLEXIBLE BRUSH] Amazing extra fine tip is great for art, calligraphy, brush lettering, sketching, illustrations, outlining, inking, wash drawing and more!

Setup is simple and it comes with two cartridges though it is empty so one of them is to fill the pen and the other is a refill. Pen case is hollow to allow the cartridge to be socketed into the brush (you pop the wide end with the metal ball into the slot of the brush tip) but one little thing I love is there's just enough room in the pen casing to slide the unused cartridge and give the pen a normal weighted feel. This, I like a lot. The casings are for a very lovely kind of ink and so the designs are already pleasant but being able to keep a spare ink cartridge in the pen at all times just feels thoughtful.
Ink does take a bit to start flowing and I think my first one was a bit off since it looked a little emptier than the other one. When it does go, though, keep an eye on if it continues flowing well. Somehow I actually like when the ink looks spotty from slow dripping, however, and it's likely not common. You may use the ink a bit quickly, though. Try the pen first and if you like it, I would get a good supply of replacement cartridges since this feels like a pen that can last well with care.
The only down side I have encountered so far is that the ink, when dry, is not waterproof. I wish I had realized that before I used it, because when I tried to use watercolor on a page I had written on, it smeared. I am not sure if it's possible to use waterproof ink without ruining the brush or not, but it would be really nice if it used waterproof ink like a dip pen. Still, I would buy it again.
