I agree with not using a glass pen for writing sample names. I label mine with another pen.

Was this a pen show exclusive? I tried searching online but i could only find the green and yellow fountain pen and the one you have but in roller ball version.

I’m not sure if it is yet to be released or just never happened. There were only 2 on the table . I’m highly considering that rollerball

Hi! I just found your channel - thank you random KZbin video suggestions. I saw a few of your ink swatches and now I must add them to my want list. I am fairly new to fountain pens. I bought my first one almost a year ago and I never looked back. My current favorite ink is Noodlers Southwest Sunset - it's a gorgeous color of orange and some yellow. I have not gone to a pen show as of yet, but I am hoping to! I look forward to watching more of your content. P.S I am sorry about your Covid fog. I have several auto-immune issues and covid just made them a 100% worse. The brain fog is the WORST. Hang in there - you're not alone on that.
@Desert_InkwellАй бұрын
Hello! Welcome :) thank you for stopping by. Does that Noodlers ink stain your pens? I have Bay State Blue PTSD.
@bsmithremmickАй бұрын
@@Desert_Inkwell No - it's behaved well with my pilot pens and I use it consistently. I've heard horror stories about BSB - so I understand! I would give this one a try :)

@Jesse-zj7ppАй бұрын
I do not collect fountain pens but I always write with one. 12 months ago, I received my Sailor 1911 Profit (not the Pro Gear). It is such a wonderful writer that I haven't stopped using it for the past year! I don't know what the Pro Gear pens are like, but since they are Sailors, they must be great, too. Thank you for the video. My one comment is that I think it could have been much shorter.

I also have a medium nib Sailor Imperial Black. I absolutely love this pen. I'm almost obsessed with its chic beauty. A work of art. The pen also sounds different when opening/closing it. Like porcelain against porcelain. It makes a different sound than my other pro gears.

Just found your channel and love it. Many of your currently inked pens follow my current favorites; big honkin colorful resins. My latest buys are Ranga 5, a Monte Verde Sequoia and another Benu. Shimmering inks are cool as cats and many pen influencers treat them like carbs Thanks for the great channel.

Hey Jeffrey, I am a newbie fountain pen enthusiast in Tennessee and I am disabled and live on a fixed income so ink and pen purchases for me are calculated and projects of saving for months and months and months so if you find that there’s a ink that you really despise like say the ferris wheel press writing desk and you’re just looking to get rid of it please don’t toss it, Please reach out to me. I would like for you to consider me in those instances. Even if in the end I don’t like the ink I will still use it till it is gone because if nothing else it gives me use time without using inks I really enjoy, and write letters with, however in this instance I love that writing desk color from what I see on the screen. Again if there are inks you want to toss, please consider inknabling me by passing them along. I chuckled when you said that the Seaglass looks like someone broke a bottle of Heineken. I didn’t get that vibe from it. I got more like a broken bottle of Rolling Rock, which is just a lighter than Heineken, but I get the whole vibe down there it’s definitely not Seaglass or beach. It’s something else. Also if you still have the second red pen I would like it IG: dmdru75
