I like the idea of logging when you ink a pen! I think I'm going to do that next year!
@FitheInkDragon 6 күн бұрын
Yes!! I also have another list where I log the inks for each individual pens. That one is fun to see too :D

I love how retro the combination of the Pilot Heritage and the Smoky Quartz ink looks. The specialty nibs seem super interesting! Especially the Naginata - it's like having 3 nibs in 1.

@@ruonpaper ohh, I didnt even think about the retro feeling, but when you mention it it does make sense! And here I am, about to clean the Opus 88 and the Pilot CH91 today even before I write them dry but I am now having doubts xD The Naginata is amazing, I can totally recommend it!

@FitheInkDragon 3 ай бұрын
Thank you Shauna! The grip of the N7 is rather small! Maybe the diameter is more or less like the Kaweco Sport? But the section is longer, and of course with a way longer nib too. I am not sure if it is comfortable for long writing session. It does look super cute though :D

Congrats! 🎉 Nice lineup… I have a very green ink in my TWSBI D580 RBT at the moment … it‘s DeAtramentis Maiglöckchen. Love the contrast. Before I had Herbin Rouge Opéra in it which was a great combo as well. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you Heide! :) DeAtramentis Maiglöckchen looks very calming! I had Diamine Apple Glory last month in this pen, very very bright green 😂 Laban Aphrodite Pink before that, which is more muted than Rouge Opera, then Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu few months back. Now I kinda want to try Rouge Opera, thanks for bringing this ink to my attention :) It's always surprising me how well the blue and red of this pen can "match" with many colors.

Hello Fi! Thank you for making these videos! I have never tried a fountain pen myself but you make it look very fun! Do you think that i would enjoy using one to write letters to pen pals? Is it comfortable to use these pens to write multiple pages? if I wanted to try one to see if I like it, where should I start? I don't want to buy something that is very cheap and doesn't give me a good experience, but I also don't want to invest a lot of money if I end up not liking it. What are your thoughts? Al
@FitheInkDragon 4 ай бұрын
Hi Al! Enjoy using a fountain pen to write letters to pen pals? Definitely! It's less tiring because unlike ballpoints, you don't need to press hard when writing using fountain pen. I can definitely write letters for pages using my fountain pens and can write longer compared to ballpoints. For a start I can recommend two quality products, both by Japanese companies. You can choose that speaks to you more! - Platinum Preppy (~5 USD) --> this was my very first fountain pen ever! It's the best bang of the buck, and very reliable. The style is similar to ballpoint. I'd recommend a Fine (precise lines) or Medium nib (smoother). - Pilot Kakuno (~12 USD) --> adorable pen with a quality nib. Looking at the design of the nib will make your day! Comes in many color body. Pretty sure they both are sold in Maido, Kinokuniya, if you want to try it in person. Otherwise, you can find it online everywhere too. These two are relatively lightweight. If you prefer heavier body pen, I will need to think a bit more XD Hope to see you use fountain pens :D

I remembered the ink of my Rohrer&Klingner Scabiosa got darker! Back then I still used the original F nib. Although good to mention that I use all of my inked pens almost every day thus why normally I dont get hard starts.
