Fountain Pen Reviews the Waterman Phileas Rollerball pen by fountain

I came across this Fountain pen review for the Waterman Phileas Rollerball.

I am a big fan and thought this migt help ..... Waterman pens have been around a long time and the Waterman Phileas black rollerball was the first Waterman pen I owned.

The $30 Phileas has a plastic barrel and cap, something that I don't particularly care for but common on pens below $50. The grip is tapered at the end so our fingers don't slide too far down the tip. Small grooves also hold your fingers in place. The cap snaps on when closed and posts well on the back when in use.

Like all Rotring and Waterman rollerball pens, the Phileas holds Uniball Signo 207 or Pilot G2 refills without any problem. Sometimes, however, a small bit of paper has to be stuck in the back of the barrel to hold the G2 refill to prevent it from wiggling inside. For a bit of a snobbier pen, the Waterman Phileas is a fine rollerball pen. However, it offers little value when compared to the Pilot Dr. Grip that costs $25 less.

I recommend this pen if you must have a snobbier pen, but you are better off with a Dr. Grip or a Phileas fountain pen reviewed below.

Fountain Pen Reviews The Uniball Signo 207

Fountain pen reviews comments on the Uniball Signo 207

This is the best most archival quality pen available for under $2.

The 207 has all of the advantages of the Pilot G2 described below but with ink that is able to withstand nearly every attempt to wash away the ink. Like the G2, the 207 is available in .5 mm and .7 mm.

It is also readily available in grocery stores, drug stores, and large stationary stores.
Like the G2, the 207 refill fits many high-end roller ball pens such as the Waterman Expert rollerball.
The Uniball Signo 207 is my most highly recommended pen for everyday writing.

Fountain Pen Reviews and My pen obsession!

Over the past year my pen obsession grew from the Pilot G2s at the grocery store to the finer fountain pens found only in snobby boutiques.

In the following review, I will attempt to capture my experiences with a wide range of rollerball and fountain pens under the $100 price range.

I can offer some recommendations at a later point to those unlucky few who find their pen obsession weighing heavy on their minds and on their wallet.
