I use the Platinum Preppy 02 pen. Bought it when I went to Japan. Kicking myself now because can't find it here in India. I love the pen because, writing with the nib in normal position gives a smooth writing experience and a great smooth flow. Flipping it allows me to write razor thin lines, perfect for my drawings / notes / etc. (But flip side is a lot more rougher). Also, the flip side of the nib allows me to write on paper that blots. I am from India. Any info on where I can buy quality fountain pens online?

Try https://makoba.com/ https://makoba.com/ for one. They have a decent selection of quality fountain pens. You get fountain-pen friendly stationery there as well.

Depends what you mean by quality. Unfortunately, PenBBS[0] has suspended shipments to India temporarily due to COVID, but for their price they are quite good. You may want to keep an eye on the page to see when they will resume. In the US, there are sites like Goulet Pens, but that probably won't help someone in India. As someone else pointed out, India does make some decent pens. Fountain Pen Revolution[1] has gotten quite popular for their flex nibs (much cheaper than other good flex nibs), and is very likely a relabeled Indian pen (they are manufactured in India). You can Google to find the manufacturer in India - they have their own line of pens sold locally. I'm not sure I would recommend FPR for non-flex nibs, and you probably don't want to use a flex nib for daily writing.

Amazon and William Penn are my gotos for pens. Tata Cliq Luxury has some, but most of them are from William Penn anyways.
