I recently purchased a Carene (burgundy w/o squeaks) in a medium nib. I find it a very smooth writer and only use Akkerman’s violet in it. Recently purchased a fine nib for it here in 🇨🇦 which also suits my different moods on days that it changes! They are both in my weekly rotation with a Pelikan M800 and a Sailor 1911L loaded with other colours from Akkerman and Diamine. No issues with either the converter nor the nibs. Quality pen.

Change of inks really makes a large difference in many pens. Carene is one of them. I use Diamine oxford blue.. It works great..

I don't have any Waterman fp but lately they really get me. The classic yacht type design is very nice.

I enjoy eriting with my Carene However, it's far from perfect.

If you put a small amount of silicon grease on the threads the squeak will go away. I avoid dipping all put my piston/lever/crescent/&c-fill pens in ink; cartridges and converters I fill with a syringe and, if necessary, dip the nib in ink.

Late to the party but please align the nib with the gold sloped piece.

my goodness its a pleasure to see you write with this pen.... for some reason as it is smooth it made me subconsciously chew like some thing gummy.... weird... I do that when I see a smooth writer ive noticed

Such a beautiful pen! Hopefully you can get the nib tuned!! I wonder how it would do with Roher & Klingner Cassia? That's one ink I use to test a lot of pens because it flows so good normally.

Problem with the converter may not actually be a problem, as the feed is MASSIVE. So it may just be filling up the feed.

How do you find the Carene now? Did you get it worked on?

Not yet :(. I should really get on it. I'm contemplating inking it with diamine writers blood, as that ink seems to make all pens work!

My Carene arrived with a whole load of nib problems, had it sent off to Waterman to be fixed - much better now but very scratchy, it can tear up the paper if you don't get the sweet spot. Seems I'll need to have a nibmeister look at it 😔 I also have the same issue filling it with a converter, so I just syringe fill if I want a full fill

Does the pocket clip on yours wiggle a little bit left and write when you wiggle it from the end?

Stay away from the Waterman graduate. Super scratchy nib
