Anyone Used a Modern Waterman stub? How easy or hard to get used to?

I would appreciate comments and references to models. I am wondering about the Liaison stub.....maybe the carene or L'etalon? Thanks, jc

and it's very easy to write with. I would also think most modern stubs are going to be pretty easy to get use to. I have a Stipula stub that's very easy to use.

I think it's when you get into the italics that it's more of an issue. Often those nibs have sharp corners.

Sheaffer Balance II Stub

Submitted by john cullen on Mon, 03/13/2006 - 22:21.

I tried one and it was very very sharp, worse that the ten dollar Sheaffer calligraphy pen I bought at staples. I had heard good things about Legacy stubs, which is why I tried the Balance. Wish I had a pen store where I could try a stub. Waterman is good about exchanges, and the Liaison is now available at pretty decent discounts so I may just break down and try one. Thanks for the response.
