It’s nice to find more pen fanatics. I thought I was strange for having a crazy fascination for pens and handwriting. Just saying, I feel normal seeing this video and reading comments 😂 I am not alone!! 💞

Come on, did I just watch a 26 min video on pens and hand writing 😲 what kind of sorcery is that !
I loved every part of it, your voice is soothing and sends positive and kind vibes

When I tell you I RAN to buy those Sarasa vintage gel pens. The colours! The ink flow! Great video, Kaitlin!

Kaitlin shows her fistfull of muji pens.... *sweats nervously at my box of 24 bic pens*

Grab your tea and get cozy because once I start talking about pens, its hard for me to stop! OH also, although I do LOVE pens, I haven't tried every single one in existence (a tragic reality) so let me know if I missed one and what your favourite is!

Hope you're all doing well guys!

It's from year ago but... this video is so good girl :) your voice is calming and the way you explain things is very nice! Thank you for sharing this

[t.chauma]

Seeing you write is so calming!

I would love to see a video on your go to Toronto based stationery stores. I’m 40 mins out of Toronto and will to drive for great stationery hehe

Yaasss! I agree with Zebra Sarasa Vintage pens and Muji are my favorites. Ink colors are deep and rich. Energel is my second. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! I actually use that midori notebook for bullet journaling, was sceptical about the blue dots too but I love them now. Ater years in search for the perfect notebook I find myself re purchasing the midori one over all the others, just love how the paper feels, it's my favourite.

I JUST got the Sarasa Vintage line and a Kaweco Sport two days ago. I TOTALLY understand the hype. They’re AMAZING. the Kaweco is soooo amazing! I have a TWSBI, but it’s barrel is thick. Kaweco is thinner and lighter. I love it. Soooo obsessed.

[suzanneriding]

Lovely video thank you! As an aside... if you are using your bullet journal as a memory keeper you may want to avoid overuse of the muji gel pen as the ink is not archival quality and may begin to fade after 2-3 years. Cheers!

I use pentel energel and I love it. I like 0.3 pens the best the thinner the ink the neater my handwriting is and the easier it is to read since my letters are pretty close together

[robinmanly]

I use the Uni Jetstream as a 0.5 refill in my Kaweco. I like it much better than the rollerball that came with the pen.

[joywithjazzita]

You are so sweet and comforting !!!😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[WitchVulgar]

The Ohto Flash Dry refill comes in 0.5mm and the Schneider Gelion 39 can be found in 0.4mm

[Cozysoloplayer]

That metal body Sarasa pen has become my favorite recently! ♥️
I thought they would be real heavy but are not. Yes, it does have a weight of course but not bad at all. If you write a lot, it might get your hand tired quickly but it’s awesome

I love my Pentel Energel liquid gel ink 0.7mm pen, though I also really like the Zebra Sarasa pens as well. 😊

[Penciledbykay]

Love sarasas and had no idea they made the vintage gel pen. Can’t wait to get one! Lovely video!
