High quality, low price
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Extra Fine Nib Color: Polished Blue
Excellent fountain pen. I think this pen is intended to ensnare entry level fountain pen buyers with a low price and a superb writing experience. I have 7 other fountain pens, some of which cost dozens of times as much as this Cross Bailey Light, and this one writes as nicely as the best of them. It is not a heavy pen which is nice for writing for longer periods. Some complain that it feels cheap. It is naive to equate weight and quality. It is also quite nice looking. Because this pen is of high quality, light weight, good looking, and cheap, I can carry it about in my shirt pocket with no worry about loosing it. If you are buying a fountain pen, buy some ink too; you know you will need it even if an ink cartridge comes with the pen. I am delighted with this pen. ... show more

Give Cross a chance.
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Extra Fine Nib Color: Polished Blue
I’ve had other Cross fountain pens and I wasn’t impressed but I really like this one, writes really well and feels comfortable to use. A very pretty blue color as well.

It DOES come with a cartridge
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Fine Nib Color: Polished White
Got the fine nib and it's great. Nice and smooth. It is very comfortable in the hand due to no step or threads in the grip area. Cap snaps on and off securely and easily. The included cartridge is in the body of the pen upside down so it does not get unintentionally punctured. Simply remove, turn it around and insert. ... show more

The nib is cheap and unreliable
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Extra Fine Nib Color: Polished Blue
Way too scratchy. Ink flow is unreliable. I got what I paid for. A cheap pen that has cheap performance. Maybe you'll be luckier? This has been such a disappointment that I may not even buy another higher-end model made by Cross. All I was hoping for was a fountain pen that would be useful for light journaling or note taking. I won't even give this away. It's going to trashcan now. ... show more

Caution or you too may be cleaning up ink
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Extra Fine Nib Color: Polished White
Love journaling with this pen but literally the fourth day, I uncapped it and ink went flying everywhere. The Q+A bot here claims the ink is water based and cleans up with soap and water. I am here to tell you how untrue that statement is. I have just spent the first hour of my morning trying soap and water, then isopropyl alcohol, then hotshot and the ink will not budge from fabric. It took scotchbrite to reduce it from my hands and it ruined several pages in my journal. None of this is a huge loss but definitely something I did not expect and not the best way to start off a day. In addition, the Q+A also says to prevent future leaks, to not store it horizontally and only nib-up. As a first time fountain pen user, maybe I am ignorant of this fact but that would be something great to highlight or format as bold or otherwise have standing out in the literature to prevent this type of rude awakening for a noob. ... show more

OK pen. Lots of plastic. Write OK though.
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Extra Fine Nib Color: Polished Blue
For the ridiculous price, you'll get about what you should expect. The pen looks nicer than it feels, but that's OK. It's very lightweight, but in a "plasticky" way. It writes well, but the tip drags a tiny bit. Not a bad pen by any stretch; and well worth the money. But there are better choices, for the same general price range IMHO. ... show more

Cross Bailey Light - my EDC for work in 2025
Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Medium Nib Color: Polished Blue
I purchased this pen to take daily notes in meetings for work. Cross is a long standing brand that’s been around since 1846 and produced their first fountain pen in 1889! I received my first Cross pen for graduation decades ago and it wrote like a dream. This one has not disappointed, the nib is very smooth and I haven’t experienced a single skip on the page, unless the cartridge needs to be swapped. Things to know: Cross pens use proprietary cartridges, but they’re no more expensive than regular cartridges. The ink colors are limited to basic colors. Cross also makes a proprietary converter if you’re into more colors and it’s easy to use as well. When using converter the ink color and effect options (glimmer, sheen etc) are endless! Don’t be dissuaded by the proprietary refill options though. Most long standing brands also have their own custom sized cartridges and converters. Weight: This pen looks expensive and yet it’s lightweight enough for me to use all day. I have smaller hands and this can be a difficult balance to strike. The first fountain pen that I purchased, aside from a LAMY Safari plastic pen on a whim, was from Amazon as well. The Hongdian Black Forest with the M nib. That pen is also a great starter to EDC pen. However, the Cross nib is smoother and a true Medium Nib. The BF nib is also a Medium but writes closer to a Fine nib and has more feedback from the paper. ... show more

Pattern: Silver Accents Style: Medium Nib Color: Polished White
This pen DOES come with one cartridge of ink. If you want to use your own ink, you will need to get a converter. The converter you need is the PUSH IN Cross converter # 8751 I was able to find it here on Amazon. However, if you don't want to spend the extra money, you may be able to wash out the included cartridge after it's empty and refill it with your own ink. IMPORTANT: The included cartridge is already in the pen, but mine was pushed way up inside the body of the pen and was stuck, so I thought it was missing. I had to shine a flashlight down the body of the pen to figure out why my converter wouldn't fit, and that's when I saw the "missing" cartridge. When you receive your pen, look inside the pen body for the cartridge. This pen is large enough to hold two cartridges in the body, so when one is used up you have a spare ready to go. I was able to get the stuck cartridge out by tapping the pen body on the desk. DO NOT tap the pen with the nib on, obviously this will damage the nib. I hope this helps prevent the unnecessary expense of purchasing a converter because reviews said the pen didn't come with a cartridge (as was my experience). This pen is a good value, it comes in a box so it's great as a gift, but there was some ugly tape holding the box closed. When I tried to remove it, the box was damaged, so keep that in mind. It's functional and has a sleek design, it looks very nice and feels good in the hand. I purchased the white pen so no one will be able to guess the ink color. Great pen for a beginner, like me! ... show more
