"The best fountain pen is the one in your hand the most often." - Me

I think I want to work for Goulet. This kind of info scratches all the itches.

Worth the watch just for the @9:32 "Egg Shail" blooper :)

Many of these are good buys and some of my own favorites.
I got the chance to try the $2000 Namiki at a pen show and was VERY glad I didn't like it....but now the $700 Ishime is on my wish list and I didn't know that existed before. That's like saving $1300, right?

IYKYK is my favorite class of any kind of gear. The understated, non-flashy stuff that people who know what they're doing respect.

[dennismullins]

You should follow the lead of the automotive manufactures who list their sales figures by make and models, not colors. and list the top selling pens also by make and models, all regardless of color or nib combinations. It's not a fair comparison to compare pens that only come in one or two colors with models that have over a dozen colors, etc. You get my point. Thanks, it was still an interesting little video and made me click.

The only one on the list I own is the Lamy Vista. I bought it as a way to say thank you for all the free content you produce for us! I tend to get my pens in EF/F, but for the Vista I got B, and I finally see what all the fuss about shading is. 😊🖋 Thanks for scheduling this video to drop on Friday, to fill the void of the missing pencast 😅I hope you're all having a lovely time off. See you next week!

My TWSBI DIAMOND 580ALR arrived a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. I'm using Diamine's Ancient Copper. I didn't buy the pen because i was a fan of fountain pens. It was recommended to me by my doctor because im developing arthritis in my wrist, and I do a lot of writing. Unlike his usual advice i actually followed through lol. Went through a few hiccups with cheap nasty pens but then discovered your videos on the 580. Life is so much easier now.

9:34 is best part of this video. I'm glad I wasn't actively sipping my coffee.

[catwhisperer]

Thanks for showcasing my 3 favorite pens of all time - the Lamy 2000, any Sailor with their amazing gold nibs, and, of course, the Pilot 823. May I say that you have demonstrated the epitome of great taste lol 😹.

[barrettwbenton]

Great list! Happy to see two favorites of mine here, past (Lamy 2000) and present (Pilot Custom 823…so nice that I now somehow have two). Also putting in a good word for Visconti's Homo Sapiens Bronze Age, which I enjoyed writing with on occasion.

[bellboots]

Diplomat Magnum and Traveler are so underrated. Get them before you start collecting Pilots and Sailors.

[thekanthalkid]

All I learned from this video is you guys need to sell or carry more Pelikan's : (. Insane they aren't on this list.

[daniellenonato]

No Pencast today, but still a reference to the Lamy 2000. Now I'm ready for the weekend 😄

When my friend’s mother died, 10 years after his father died (a CEO of a company mining salt) we cleaned out the house. We filled dozens of large bags and during helping out I found an interesting looking fountain pen, red/brownish body with golden tip, very simple, and I thought it looked really nice and special. I handed it over to my friend who grabbed it and threw it into a trash bag together with hundreds of other markers, pens and office supplies. I haven’t stopped thinking about this innocent looking pen with its golden tip ever since. Just now I stumbled upon this video and finally can say, uh, what a bad decision, the fountain pen that went into the trash looked exactly like this Namiki Royal. RIP

[littletweeter]

i will say the nib units they use on the sharks, that they also use in their p51 clones, are very very good. nice smooth wet nibs.

[beqvyper]

Thank you for this break down on how they are different. I really appreciate it!

[kinslowrainer]

Interesting, but probably less useful because it was done by color. Lumping all the colorways into one category and picking the pen which falls under the umbrella model would've been more useful.

[gent]

I'm really suprised to not see any Faber Castell, Parker, or Waterman's mentioned. Though I'm a bit bias towards them. My first fountain was a Graf Von Faber Castel and my pen store sells mostly French and German pens. I was dlighted to see some pilot's in the store today though.

I feel like these videos keep my mental health in the green zone.. thank you.
