Jinhao are great for new & experienced users alike. I’d highly recommend the 82, 100, & X159 models. Platinum Preppy’s are also excellent budget pens that write far better than a lot of pens in the sub £100 range. The Plasir and Prefounte are basically the same pen but with fancier aesthetics if the Preppy doesn’t do it for you. Other pens worth looking at are the Pilot Kakuno & Metropolitan, Kaweco Sport & Perkeo, Faber-Castell Grip, and the Lamy Safari.

I, too, recommend Jinhao pens. I have a Jinhao 75 and it is an absolute pleasure to write with, I like it even more than my US$50-70 fountain pens.
