Faber-CastellHexo M Fountain pen - Blue

It's perfectly sized and the hexagonal barrel unique at this price point. It's beautifully finished, very light and strong, and easy to uncap and write with. The nib does not flex at all, it is smooth and although it will need some writing-in, it starts immediately and will be excellent. I've fitted it with a standard converter and it fills without fuss. It's as good as an inexpensive pen can be, and made in Europe.

I’m a Faber Castell fan anyway and like their other pens this one is great.

Its a nice pen but disappointed it come with a converter for bottled ink

Amazon described the shaft as being made of extruded aluminium.. in fact it is cheap plastic …. Altogether an inferior product for the money and no blue ink cartridge … I am very disappointed with it

The pen in itself is close to perfection especially bearing the price range. Hard to fault the EF nib which is surprisingly smooth, and the solid build quality. However the pen was advertised as having a cartridge converter which wasn't provided. I might not have bought the pen ion I had realised that a cartridge converter wasn't provided. To buy one now, with the cost of postage makes the pen a considerably more expensive purchase. Luckily I had a spare cartridge converter

I liked the colour, and the option for an extra fine nib, which writes really well. But the colour of the cap is very slightly darker than the body, which I would of thought that FC would of got the quality bang on.. not changing though.

I only used the pen a few times since I bought it in late October 2023 and now it's not working.Plus I couldn't locate a direct email address for complaints once you go past your statutory return date.Not impressed.

Lovely pen, lightweight and smooth.....

Love this fountain pen. Is the first Faber fountain pen I have owned. I was surprised that the XF nibs writes so smoothly, not scratchy at all. Kudos to them for doing this with a steel nib. Feed is not too dry or wet and pretty much starts each time without fail. Very light and comfortable to write with posted. The matte finish inadvertently give a little grip to the pen. I have used this pen so much that the cap comes off with little force that sometimes I find that the cap has come off on its own while in transport. Despite this, if something happened to this pen I would not hesitate to get another. After experiencing Faber nibs and quality, I have purchased some of their other fountain pens and am very happy with those.

This is the second or third hexo I’ve bought. I love them as an every day writer. They have a very smooth feel and generally have a good flow. However, with this latest one I had to manually adjust the nib by over applying pressure. It was really scratchy before, but after adjustments it writes like I’m used to from a Faber.

Me gusto demasiado, aunque hubiera sido genial que trajera el cartucho recargable; pero por lo demás funciona de maravilla

Study body and clip. Great pen.

While this is a beautiful pen, it only lasted a week until the mechanism to advance and retract gave up.Most of the pen is aluminum, but the internal mechanism is made of plastic.The brand overall is excellent, but I recommend avoiding this design!
