This is one of my favourite cheap pens. It’s not the pen itself but the refill I *like so much. It is though very small (thin). The hole in the pen itself is quite a bit bigger. Anyone know if you can get a fatter, longer lasting refill for pens like this?

*Its Extra Broad and flows nicely.

Edit: Answered my own question by looking more closely at the vendors site.

Next question. Anyone else make refills as good as these that are compatible?

I’ve ordered a pack of five of the 755 refills. Is there a universal reference for these? Just wondering about other kits/pens I could get to take these.

I've used the Schmidt refills for several years now. As well as the P 900 M shown here, they make one called "easyFLOW 9000 M" that is a bit wetter and flows beautifully, closer to a rollerball than a typical ballpoint refill.

Refills arrived today. An apology from Royal Mail, three refills missing and the other two bent. Chucking five loose refills into a C5 envelope with no other packaging seemed a bit optimistic to me. eBay vendor contacted, hopefully some well packed replacements on the way soon?

Another reason to call Phil at Beaufort . I live in France and I have never had a bent refill from him despite the best efforts of the uk post office and their counterparts in France this is over many years

I’ve not seen too many vendors offer the extra broad (XB) refills that I wanted. £10 for five refills will be a good price when I get them.
