I found a pen with a very minimalistic design that I really like, but I've never heard of the brand.

Is Bastion brand fountain pens a decent brand?

At $20, I'm not expecting the world, but I also don't expect garbage at that price point.

The reviews look fine enough, but those are so easy to fake, so I wanted to ask the real experts here at Fountain Pens.

No leaking and smooth writing, mainly. Honestly, I just liked the simplistically sleek look of the pen. I currently have a Hongdian M2, which I love. But I wanted one for work, and this one just looked nice. I am, however, open to suggestions. Currently, my budget is capped at around $25 after shipping (low, I know, but it is what it is).

Edit: it is on the site (where I got the picture), but fp is definitely not their forté.

@01189998819991197253 In this price range I'd suggest looking at Pilot Lightive or Platinum Plaisir.
