Edison 1.1 stub nib
This Edison stub is very nice. I have only recently discovered stub nibs, and I like to write regularly with them. Who needs flex when you got stub? OK, don't answer that...but for everyday writing, stubs are nice.

Every single Edison No.6 nib I have used has been brilliant, period. I have tried Pelikan nibs, and Sailor nibs, and they undoubtedly have sublime qualities that make them worth their price. But when I pick up a fountain pen, I am as likely to pick up an Edison, as any other pen, and expect I will have just as good a writing experience. If you have to study the minute differences between nibs, then there probably isn't any practical difference for normal writing. A well tuned, and smooth nib Edison nib (as they are) writes as well as any other nib I own. The No 6 italic 1.1 nibs and 1.5 nibs are no exception. I had no problem adapting to using them for normal writing, but I'd say that you would need to find, for yourself, which ink best suits the two different nib widths.
