LOL your battle with the ink at the beginning brought back memories of my first fountain pen at school. I had to replace the cartridge of my Pelikano and probably didn’t push it in properly, so I decided to bite into it and ended up with a mouthful of royal blue ink. 😂 Love your enthusiasm and excitement. I’ve never stopped writing with fountain pens since my school days, it’s the only writing device I like using, and I do it daily. Yay for fountain pens, they are the best, and it’s so lovely to see young people like you discovering the joys of these fantastic traditional writing instruments.😍

Hahah sounds like a royal disaster, washing blue out of a mouth sounds pretty difficult. Yay for fountain pens, they are the best!

Good to see a new vid! I coincidentally just bought a new fountain pen a few days ago. From the Dollar Tree, for $1.25. It even comes with 2 little ink cartridges. Absolutely blasphemous, but i couldn't resist just getting it to see. I do not hate it.

If you're looking for a new pen, try any Franklin Christoph with a Medium Cursive Italic custom nib. I have one and it's smoother than my Lamy 2000 which is honestly so weird given that it's a cursive italic, and my l2k is pretty smooth itself.

Nice vid! What pen would you recommend to someone new getting into fountain pens?

[@ilovehersomuchbro]

hello! I may not be him but I would recommend to try Pilot Varsity, they come pre-inked and isn't exactly refillable but they're cheap and they're a good entry point for someone who wants to try it first and see if they click with it. Afterwards you would probably then recognize if you want a heavier one or a light one or if you want a bigger handle etc etc then you can search for pens that you like that match the description of your want!

[@ilovehersomuchbro]

remember to do research on pens before getting them because you might end up getting something you dont want

[@SoulQuJo]

Lamy Safari, or the Kaweco sport are fun pens I'll always love
