Fountain Pens That Didn't Meet My Expectations

I’ve never seen a Custom 74 that color blue with gold trim. I would totally love that. It looks a lot like the Platinum 3776 Century in Chartres. Beautiful pen!

Thanks! I think they're only available in Japan, so I had to get it on a Japanese site

Hi. First time I have seen one of your videos appear on my recommended views. I am so glad to hear your well-reasoned logic for pens. It may sound weird, but I was especially excited to see that you were displeased with the TWSBI Diamond 580ALR. I love mine but hearing your story, I can certainly understand why you disliked it. It's good to see differing opinions on pens as it makes me feel like the hobby is alive and well and there is still room for everyone. Thank you so much for the video!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙏

I also have the Moonman C1, I thought it looked great bc i love to see the ink move and yeah I also didnt expect anything until it was one of my most reliable writers. Twsbi one I prob know what you mean, my ALR feels weirder than all my Ecos. At first I wonder if i even get any ink on the page but it wrote normally no skipping no hardstarting but it felt overly smooth that I felt like I shouldnt be surprised if it skipped.

You worried me for a second seeing the C1 on the table thinking this would be all pens you hated

[@Reflekks]

You’re crazy if you thought I’d have anything bad to say about the C1

Hmm twisby seems to be quite polarising🤔. I'll stay away from trying it for now Lamy safari was first FP. Didn't meet my expectation either cus the grip.
