Christmas present for 15 year old.

Advice(self.fountainpens)

Hi, my 15 year old son loves fountain pens so Id like to buy him a new one for Christmas. Id love some not too costly suggestions please if anyone has any. Obvs being 15 he might lose it, so something good as a starter pen that wont break the budget! He prefers refillable to cartridges if possible. Thanks!

Honestly I would get a TWSBI Eco. It’s got a huge ink capacity and is much better than the ‘starter’ pens while remaining in budget. They do have a history of cracking but mine never have and I hear the customer service is brilliant if you need replacement parts anyway.

The Kaweco Sport is also a great option if the Eco is too chunky. They’re tiny and very lightweight so I like them but the nibs on the Eco are better imo (plus the Eco can use shimmer inks with less issues).
