I read a recent thread in the Nib about someone's purchase of the Jinhao X450 with great interest. My son (18 year old) has expressed a desire to experiment with using a fountain pen. He really hasn't used one before. I thought I might pick one up for him as a Christmas present. Would folks recommend this particular pen or is there something else that I should look at for a beginner like him? Also, do you have any specific recommendations for inks or other things I might need? Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations!
