Writes very smooth
The pen may look very plain but it writes beautifully. I would pick this Calissima pen over my Lamy. You can use the 1.5 as a heading for journaling or to write your paragraphs. If you love writing in cursive, I think this pen will make it even more beautiful and will add character. It adds a vintage - feel to mine and makes my writing experience much more enjoyable.

Looks great in marketing photos… less so in person
Got the Schneider Callissima with 1.5mm stub nib as a sort of middle-ground between my Lamy Joy AL with 1.9mm stub and TWSBI Vac Mini with 1.1mm stub. To be fair, the Callissima is the least expensive of the three, but I get the distinct impression it drifted into “too cheap” territory. It’s not a horrible pen, but it definitely looks better in marketing photos than it does in-hand.The nib is ok. It takes a bit to get going, but that may be more a fault of the feed. Using the provided cartridge, it took significantly more than normal to get flowing. And even then there was a bit of skipping and scratching for a while. Typical of inexpensive steel nibs, a bit of “extra” pressure helps. Surprisingly, it writes about the same upside down and right-side up.The body… it looks and feels like cheap plastic- complete with noticeable seams. I’ve got $1-2 rollerballs that feel more “professional”. Nit-picking here, the “Made in Germany” is comically large; almost half the size of the Schneider logo. The grip is slightly rubberized and indented for your fingers, which is great. The body smoothly tapers like the Lamy Joy yet is 1cm shorter which makes it fit in pockets and such better (the Lamy Joy is a bit too long). The cap posts firmly. The clip is nice; it’s curved and springy with ample space, I feel like I could clip it on to something plenty thick.The ink in the provided cartridge seemed pretty watery. But it’s free, so who cares?

Really bad pen
Like most German brands, Schneider has gone to salt.... seriously it was so crunchy I may as well have been writing on salt.
