Love the pen, especially with the optional two tone nib. I might try that when I order a M805 Stresemann.

[@Doodlebud]

I did mine at Cult pens and they had a small extra charge but for me it was worth it. I would love love love to get a M1005 Stresemann one day 🤤

[@allanwind295]

I can see why you like the ink. It really pops especially on the line width video.

[@nitin6616]

That M805 looks like a pocket pen in your hands. What are you, a giant? 👀😂😂

[@Doodlebud]

Lol, not quite. But I am a pretty big guy, just under 2m

Great review - Helpful. Thanks.

Love my M800 with a fine nib. My final has two chick. Does that make it vintage?

[@slo_carry]

That's the same setup I'm after, except I want a F nib rather than EF. I've been contemplating ordering the red M800 from Atlas Stationers that they have on pre order now. Did you ever get to try an M1000?

[@Doodlebud]

Havent tried an M1000 yet, but want to!

[@AnonZero0]

*Thank you.*

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

That was a very subdued review.

[@Doodlebud]

LOL it was one of my first videos

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

You are 100 times better now! Love your channel.

I brought dozons of fountain pen 🖋️ but got upset... Any fountain pen have extra fine nib with super wet ...? This will help me alot😭

[@Doodlebud]

EF will inherently drier just due to the small tip size. My wettest EF is my Lamy 2000

[@nitin6616]

Try any steel nib with an ebonite feed like the Indian Kanwrite EEFs (steel nib), or a Leonardo (much more expensive), or Japanese nibs with plastic feeds, Sailor F, or a Pilot EF.

[@pcalculas]

Oh thanks for the Help Sir

I LOVE my Pelikan M805 Blue Dunes with Medium nib. But lately I’ve been noticing stock getting low or running out everywhere for other M800 or M805 Pelikan pens. And there’s a rumor Pelikan is having financial trouble. Is this true? I hope not. I want at least one more Pelikan pen soon.

[@Doodlebud]

No idea on the financials of Pelikan. Would be a shame since they've been around for ever. I do want to get an M1000 at some point

[@kevinu.k.7042]

Interesting comment. A major Pellikan stockist in the UK has just had a sale and they have been out of stock for a while. I see other online shops seem not to have the usual spread of models and an Italian seller has superb discounts at the moment. I just put it all down to Covid. I know that Sailor ran into Covid troubles earlier on in the pandemic...

@@kevinu.k.7042 Hi Kevin, I'm in the UK too and am just getting into these beautiful pens. In your experience, who would you suggest buying from? Thanks.

[@kevinu.k.7042]

@@isanna6075 Try Penbox. The owner is elderly and can be a little quirky. However he is professional, his prices are good and he delivers quickly. I had to telephone three times to catch the shop open. Email might be the better way to go. Of all of the pens I have these are right up there as one of my top writing experiences along with the Sailor PG Realo and Pilot Custom 823. But, if I could only have one pen, it would be the Pelikan 805. Enjoy

[@kevinu.k.7042]

@@isanna6075 You might get two replies from me here. Apologies. KZbin can be funny with replies directly from the notification panel. Try Penbox - usually the best prices and a reliable shop too. They have a website shop too. If you telephone the (elderly) guy be warned he keeps unpredictable shop times and you need to keep trying sometimes. But, he ships quickly and is reliable.

I just bought a new m805 fine nib but it dry starts allot in the beginning of almost every other word and when making quick long lines. I don't have much experience in fountain pens, so I tried soaking the nib in distilled water, based on what I read on the net, but no improvement. Is there something I can do to fix it? It's a dry nib although when I'm writing sometimes it doesn't seem to be that dry to cause hard starts and skipping.

[@Doodlebud]

Where did you buy it from? I would contact the retailer right away so it can be taken care of. At that price, tbe pen should perform perfectly

[@flybyscy]

@@Doodlebud Got it from Cult Pens. I just sent them an email and waiting for a reply. I'm not sure how the shipping costs would be handled but I'll wait and see.

[@Doodlebud]

I bought mine from them too. They should hopefully make it right

[@haripulakkat3490]

I see that you always post the cap. Does this pen get scratches from posting?

[@Doodlebud]

I don't really notice any from posting, but I see tiny ones where the cap screws onto the body. They can be polished out very easy though. More noticeable since this pen is darker.

[@murtazahaiderhazara7273]

[@Doodlebud]
