I enjoyed my Charlie pen, as it was a good pen on which to tinker. I ordered a Creeper Flex nib and tried to heat set the nib. Unfortunately, the body of the Charlie warped in the hot water (or maybe it was the microwave that bent it). So, I will look forward to ordering a new Noodler's pen on which to work the new nib. Keep up the good work Goulet Pen Team!
