Platinum Plaisir Fountain Pen – Violet
With the anodised finish, the surface of the Platinum Plaisir body has a hard shell that is difficult to damage, it also creates a beautiful shine. The innovative cap prevents the ink from drying out and contains a unique “Slip and Seal” mechanism which prevents the ink from clogging, even if the pen goes un-used for a year.

This was my first Platinum pen and I chose the violet colour because I am partial to purple. I’ve heard good things about Platinum in general and I chose to try the Plaisir first. The nib isn’t shaped other brands’ nibs and that is perhaps what makes it unique, but most of all it writes so well. Although I prefer medium nibs in general, at the time when I purchased this pen it only came in F nib, but it is actually perfect, because it’s not too fine and suits my writing perfectly (I write rather small letters). It’s a smooth writer, that is for sure. I like pairing this with inks that’s similar in tone to the barrel : Robert Oster Viola, Diamine Amazing Amethyst or Robert Oster Sydney Lavender. I don’t like the bulkiness of the cap of the pen (although it’s light) but since I never write with my cap posted, it doesn’t bother me too much
