Sailors are amazing. My old Sailor is the smoothest writing pen I own. Its nib was done by the master, Nobuyoshi Nagahara, who died a few years ago but I understand his son is continuing his legacy.
The best way to get hands-on experience is at a pen store or a pen show, if either are in your area. I just skimmed this, and it looks like a good intro to nibs in general, if you feel you need that. Also Goulet Pens has many videos and they may have a hands-on option I’m missing. Enjoy!
I just went down the pen show rabbit hole. I had no idea. Plenty in my area. NYC, Philly, or DC seem to be big events with many vendors. Good to know. Thank you.

Enjoy!
Nice quote choice too.
