    I have one Preppy that I received with my Noodlers Heart of Darkness bought form Swishers when they were still in business. I have not cleaned the pen out for years and WOW! it doesn't dry out nor clog up great pen. I wish they made a high end version of this pen.

    The Plaisir is a sort-of higher end version of the Preppy. It has a lightweight metal body and the same persistent feed.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    How do they compare to the Sailor Clear Candy pens which retail for between $10-$16.50? Better? Worse? About the same?

    All i can say is: different. I have both. Sailor has more feedback in the fine nib. The Preppy .05 is astonishingly good for a four-dollar pen. Both lightweight. Both good buys...they just feel slightly different in a way I can't really describe well.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    I love my Preppy pens. The spring loaded inner cap is ingenious and I wish more pens focused on sealing the nib like they do. But, my only gripe is when I use an ink that does dry up, they are not easy to start up again short of a dip in water. Something about the nib design make them particularly hard to start if its a "clumpy" ink. And, I've converted all to ED, but if I ever replace them, I'll probably go to refilling their giant cartridges instead. I find myself worrying about cracks as they age. And, that would be a bit of a mess.

    Is it just me or has anyone else detected a slight, pleasant, stubbish quality to the line of the 05/M Preppy? Got mine refilled with Diamine Denim, making story notes right now, and it looks kinda sorta cool!
