 Avoid Shaeffer PensMay 26, 2010
I may or may not pick up this kit, but from long experience with many very good pens, I've learned one thing -- Shaeffer pens are dreadful. It doesn't matter whether it's a cheap or a pricey model, it will leak all over the place and the nibs don't write well.
I've had the same experience with Cross pens, which to the uninitiated in the world of good pens always seem to be the best you can get. I've had a good many of them, and even a Cross pencil never worked right.
When I get to it, I'm hopping over to Fahrney's pens and purchase a good calligraphy pen.
The comment by another reviewer -- that the practice paper in the kit was so thin it bled all over the image being copied -- means I probably won't buy this kit. Leaking Shaeffer pens are bad enough; leaking through the practice paper is really outrageous!
I've noticed of late that certain vendors sell "kits" of pens or pencils or other art media, and when you get them, you'll have almost no paper to work on and the vendor never tells you what kind of paper you need to work on the kind of media you're tackling.
You're best off if you try vendors that sell art materials or that sell GOOD pens! Yes, you're going to spend a lot of money on a really good pen [think Montblanc Meisterstuck used-to-be-called the "Diplomat" -- which 15+ years ago set me back around [...] -- but that pen still works as well for me as it did the day it arrived. You do the math -- it comes out to about [...] year, and nowdays you're going to spend almost [...] on 4 or 5 felt-tip pens. Where would you rather spend your money?
 calligraphy pen setApr 07, 2010
I bought it as a gift for someone who loves to draw and they loved it! The set comes with different colors and three pens to choose from
Love this kitFeb 16, 2010
This kit is great. There is actually a book inside with examples of different calligraphy styles and an unlined practice pad. The inks aren't labelled with their color so that is kind of a guessing game, but other than that it is a great product.

Excellent starter kit!Jan 31, 2010
An excellent starter kit for anyone interested in learning the art of the calligraphy. Contains many different ink colors and three different nib sizes as well as a small booklet on the basics of different types of fonts to write with. The gothic style is my favorite and my writing with this set is actually a lot better looking than my regular handwriting.
