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.

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

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
@FitheInkDragon4 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

Although good to mention that I use all of my inked pens almost every day thus why normally I dont get hard starts.
