Love your channel! The ASMR pen test segment of the video is definitely some of your best content!

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thanks for watching!

Any thoughts to tell us about your handwriting? Why you've developed it into what it is now and the benefits or drawbacks you find with it in the various mediums you enjoy? You think about things a lot and don't make preference decisions lightly, so I'm assuming you've put thought into the form and function of your penmanship. In the pursuit of fairness I will share mine. Notes that I write from other people's work are in "print" (also called "manuscript") form and in black. My own thoughts on those notes or from those texts are written in cursive in black. Notes that are only my own thoughts (grocery list to school notes/research studies/academic papers, fiction writing ideas, etc.) are written in print in blue. Composition writing (personal journal entries, rough drafts of fiction or nonfiction work, etc.) are written in cursive in blue. (this is all the ideal, of course. Sometimes I'm bogged down and stuck with one color, so I annotate which is which in such a situation)

Another interesting video. Thanks Lucas. I liked the sound as you opened the paper bags. I find buying stationery can be addictive. I always have too much.

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thank you David! It is most definitely addictive, always too many notebooks and pens, too little time,

[@darthblade2016]

So true....so true

Ok now I want a video of you just silently testing pens and paper. So satisfying. And I’m team blue ink, I almost always use blue.

[@BlankFirstPage]

Another video idea for the list! Sometimes I wish I could be team blue ink, but team black ink is too good! Thanks for watching!

[@caelointheclouds]

Great video!! I’ve always had a battle with pen and paper. Great choice of paper! 🎉🖊️🗒️

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thank you for watching!

[@miikuli]

Great content! I am just getting into stationary and your channel feels so informative and I just love the quality of your videos. Keep it up!

[@cherryx4610]

I would like to see your entire pen collection. All pens you own.😊

[@BlankFirstPage]

I might do a collection video as a channel milestone special, maybe at 1000! Thanks for watching!

[@KendallW]

I've never seen those types of notebooks that include 1 sheet with lines -very good idea. I like the paper test, especially the fountain pens. Some day, maybe a full review of those pens? Or maybe you've already done that and I just haven't seen it.

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thanks for watching! I haven't done complete reviews of any of those pens yet, more content yet to come!

[@darthblade2016]

Cool collection of stationary there and enjoyed the video as usual! Hope u have a good weekend

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thank you for watching! Have a great weekend.

Have been eyeing Caran D'Ache pens for a while now. I like the hexagonal shape very much. Other hexagonal designs I've seen are the Kaweco Sport Ballpoint pens and the Kaweco Brass Sport Fountain pen, and Ballpoint pen. Have you tried any of these Kaweco pens for note taking in your pocket Field Notes?

[@BlankFirstPage]

The Caran D’Ache hexagonal cross section is a very comfortable size and design, I enjoy it a lot. I have used the Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen, but not the ballpoint. I’m not a huge fan of the design of the Kaweco, it’s a larger hexagon cross section than the Caran D’Ache, the proportions aren’t quite right for my preferences. I also haven’t had great reliability from the nibs on the Kaweco, over the years I’ve used 3 of the fountain pens and they’ve been a bit disappointing. I’ve had to clean them far more frequently than any of my other pens to keep them flowing smoothly.

[@notbatman1001]

Thanks, @@BlankFirstPage . This is very helpful information.

[@lisam5576]

I'll have to check out that shop the next time I go to Amsterdam. I enjoyed visiting the flagship Akkerman store in Amsterdam the last time I was there (I also went to the "other" Akkerman in the Hague, as well). Thanks for another great video!

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thanks for watching! I really want to go to the Akkerman store too, the Google Maps images alone seem amazing.

[@lisam5576]

@@BlankFirstPage I see from your update that you've relocated to the Netherlands! Enjoy all the awesome stationary stores. If I'm not mistaken, the gold pen of your grandfather's looks like an Ecridor?

[@BlankFirstPage]

@lisam5576 yep! Lots of great stationery stores here! The gold pen is an Ecridor, good eye! I wish I knew how that particular one is, could be 60s?

[@lisam5576]

@@BlankFirstPage If I'm not mistaken, they introduced the ballpoint Ecridor in the early 1950's. If it fits a Goliath refill that might help to date it as they introduced that refill in the mid-1960s.

[@joecarroll8286]

Your tiny pencil reminds me of the Pilot Birdy pocket pen. I know you've got your Kaweco, but you (or anyone else who's in the market for one) should check it out. It's an all-stainless steel pen for $7US and goes perfect with Field Notes. They even have a version that's a pen/mechanical pencil combo, but I haven't tried that one.

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thank you for the recommendation! I have never heard of it and looking it up it seems like a pen I should add to my collection - very practical! And great price for what it is.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Nice pen!

[@BlankFirstPage]

Indeed it is!

[@wg3951]

Can you please share where the large book is from that you are using as a backdrop? It looks so nice!

[@BlankFirstPage]

It is indeed a beautiful piece of stationery. It’s a cotton paper notebook that’s handmade manteaunoir.com.au/products/handmade-biblio-100-cotton-paper-journal?variant=41567123570881

Hey I love your channel, watched all of your videos! From northeast Ohio United States. You live in Malta? Do you have a place to get mail?

[@BlankFirstPage]

Thank you so much for watching! I do live in Malta but don’t have a PO Box yet.
