I got the Procyon mainly for Platinum’s “Slip & Seal Mechanism”, to use with pigment inks. In hand this pen feels good and well balanced when posted, despite being at the upper limit of diameter and weight that I prefer. The screw cap takes 3/4 turn to remove (yay!). The nib (I got the Fine) is stiff with just a bit of springyness to it and writes very well with a moderate amount of feedback.
Mine writes a little on the drier side and seems well suited to the wetter inks from Platinum, Sailor, Pilot and KWZ. In particular, Platinum Carbon Black works very well.
Unlike the Preppy/Plaisir, the nib, feed and collector can be removed if neccessary for cleaning but I would not recommend doing it often as the parts are very fine and delicate and are friction fitted. The ink take-up duct on the underside of the feed is nifty, no need to get the section covered in ink!

Great experience. Smooth writer, haven’t had skips, non-starts. feels good in hand, heavier that most pens. Enjoyable. Would recommend

The big daddy to the Preppy. With a light weight body and the colour? When the light reflects on the pen, you see the beauty. Bigger nib then the Preppy, but writes smootly. Fine nib have a nice feedback and does not dry out. Always start when you write. There is more to this pen, but find out for yourself.
