The broad lays down a nice wet juicy line and is as smooth as silk but still has feel when writing. They are heavier pens as they are of metal construction and the lacquer has a translucence that allows the metal underneath to show through giving an almost holographic effect.

They are one of the best pens I have written with and I know I shall have one one day. Supurbe build quality as well!

All three colours are beautiful but the blue especially so, it is like looking at a deep blue sapphire!
Hope that helps!
Ian, thanks! Great info. I found Glenn's page just a few days ago, and it's really been feeding my burgeoning FP habit. He has a lot of great and informative articles posted, and I also took his advice on inks and ordered a couple of bottles of Aurora, in blue and black. I live in the NW, so his info on stores in the area also caught my eye.

I hadn't realized the depth of the FP community, and there's a lot of enthusiasts out there, and that's good to see. The Edson's are spectacular and I'll be nabbing one at some point.

Thanks for the input!
