Beautiful pen but doesn't write very well

I really like the look of this pen; it has that vintage charm to it. Honestly, the look of this pen is what got me to buy this pen in the first place. Unfortunately, this pen will be sent back for a refund because this thing just cannot write. It was hard to start and once it started, the writing quality is horrible. It skips very often; especially when you write a bit faster. The nib is stiff and not too smooth. Aside from its good look, I find that this pen is not functional at all. I want to keep the pen very much but I'll have to look elsewhere for a daily writer.
