Review on Brause Calligraphy Writing Nibs Variety Set: Explore 6 Expert Nibs for Flawless Penmanship by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for line art! Buy a separate tip holder

I really like these tips. I bought it because Yuko Shimizu recommended it and I want to make my work more professional. Okay, I tried all the springs carefully and I like the blue steel best (see photo). It holds the ink very well and gives me the lines I want. All of the nibs I tried were pretty good with smooth, unbroken lines. Poor ejection of the pen holder. I read reviews that the pen holder was bad so I bought another one separately. You'll notice in my photo that the holder on the left (the one that comes with it) is quite wide and therefore some of the thinner tips fall out. The pen holder on the right is the one I bought separately, it's still a Brause brand but it holds the pen well. Buy a separate pen holder, otherwise you will be very disappointed and will not be able to start your activities. I also included some illustrations so you can see the nice thin lines :')
