For me, mas maganda ang sulat ng Rotring pero masyado brittle ang body nya. I even tried Faber Castell (nung di pa sya China). Eventually, I settled with Staedtler (although prone to blots). Matibay talaga kasi siempre Germany (ewan ko lang ngayon kung German made pa rin but IMO, one should not pay that much for a china pen).

BTW, yes, use hot water para madali matanggal yung dried ink.

May mga nasira din akong 0.1 & 0.3 noon, I didn't know pwede pala makabili ng parts nyan.
