Special Fountain Pens - ASMR

[@RelaxingASMR]

Everyone, sorry about the audio. This was my first real attempt using software to remove background noise. Before I posted this video, my audio expert in Australia flat out told me it wasn't quite right but I already knew it (I'm my own worst critic sometimes) and will be working even harder to improve the sound quality in future videos. I think I'm on the right track.

[@Leebabins]

Using noise removal for background noise is never recommended. It adds that washy/phase sound and really ruins a quality audio recording. Room tone is much preferred.

[@kylebachner3063]

What is your favourite hobby ?

[@RelaxingASMR]

kyle kylasaurus Good question and a difficult one to answer. I'd have to say fountain pens and writing. Thanks for asking:)

[@braders790boop]

Background noise makes videos more relaxing I think. Because its like a kind of white noise that makes a nice base for all the sounds on top. I loved this video. That Mont Blanc pen is incredible. could you do a video of you dismantling it completely and re-assembling it? or is that not possible>

[@jessreyes5030]

Would that happen to be dimitri? Ur audio man i mean...

[@braders790boop]

You know its a good video when you watch all 53 minutes and none of it was boring and all of it was relaxing. good job

[@unintelligentintellectual8508]

I agree

[@GlxiArts]

Never thought it would happen, but by watching all of your pen videos you have given me a deep interest in Pens. I have been inspired to actually go out, buy a fountain pen and start improving my penmanship. I now take a great interest in pens, and despite being 16 use a fountain pen every day in school. Thankyou for helping me find this interest! :)

[@RelaxingASMR]

Glxi Welcome to the world of fountain pens. Not all will understand our interest in them, but that's alright. Guard you pen my friend, lest it goes missing at school. Enjoy your new passion and thanks for commenting:)

[@GlxiArts]

Thankyou for replying! :)

[@etherealemily4901]

Same

[@ethanmartel1631]

well it’s been 6 years and you are now 22 i believe, so you still have an interest in pens? lol

[@DonnaASMR]

Finally a new pen video! :D Thanks for putting so much effort into your videos!

[@RelaxingASMR]

DonnaASMR Gotta love it when someone that works every bit as hard on her great channel thanks me. By the way, I didn't know you liked the pens so much:)

[@joseph132486]

And thank you for all of the effort you put into yours. Yours was actually one of the first ASMR channels that I watched (I was hooked on your Gameboy Advance videos). I'm always looking for new fountain pen videos on this channel, so I got pretty excited when I saw this one. Both of you keep up the great work.

[@canttReid]

I was in a dead sleep and woke up with huge eyes when you said that pen was $600 haha

[@RelaxingASMR]

hwut Yeah, it was a gift from my wife and was stunned to receive it. I never would have bought it for myself because of the price. That's probably why I'll never own a Montblanc 149, which I have always wanted:(

[@rknine7998]

Was that at 8:25 ?

[@veeti4210]

my mom woke up from coma when she heard the price of that thing

[@GhostKobra98]

that thing cost more than my xbox

[@primoh00]

Thanks to this video, I was convinced to pull the trigger and buy my first fountain pen and got the al star. Thanks for the "recommendation"

[@RelaxingASMR]

+Primo Hinsy I would be really surprised if you didn't like it. Be protective of that Lamy, lest it disappear my friend.

[@venusboys3]

I was a bit shocked at the $600 pen price... until I began to mull over some of my own hobby purchases... and that is a mighty nice pen. I really like the rear-gate action... I'm a sucker for fine mechanisms like that. Nothing comes close to writing with your father's boyhood pen though... that was a great share... and I'm glad it turned ended up writing so well.

[@RelaxingASMR]

venusboys3 The Boheme is indeed a super nice pen, and something I probably never would have purchased for myself. Thanks for commenting:)

[@totopocha]

Mariana from Facebook here, RelaxingASMR. Simply amazing. Not bothered at all by the noise you mention. Thank you! (And yes, it will probably take me about a week to see it complete...).

[@regina_phalange]

The little bit you said about your father's pen was so sweet. :)

[@ianhitchcock1019]

Mmm... Always a good time when an artist like myself sees someone else so enveloped in a love for his tools. Very nice job on the video.

[@debbie94510]

I'm so delighted you're doing pen videos again!! You're the one who got me into them to begin with and they've always been my faves of your videos.

[@RelaxingASMR]

debbie94510 Hope you are still enjoying your fountain pens:)

[@Yisrael_Teshuvah]

You have outstanding penmanship.

[@cosquillasypaz2321]

Love this video! Love the nostalgia of using your father's pen, what a great thing to still have. Now I want to start using fountain pens.

[@RelaxingASMR]

Cosquillas Y Paz Thanks for commenting:)

[@conradsmith9332]

You should defiantly put a new sac in that little old pen! It's stunning! Sacs are very easy too put in pens, it's ares easy as using shellac and gluing it to the end of the grip section bit, then putting some french chalk on it. It would only coast around 30 dollars :) great video. THANKS!

[@collecter3456]

Conrad smith you watch stef, I know, I'm commenting late! I agree, he should put a sac in that pen, it'd be worth it.

[@nickhexum01]

I've fallen asleep three times now to this video. Shooting for number four tonight. Thanks for doing another fountain pen video. Maybe some fountain pen artwork in the near future?

[@RelaxingASMR]

Joseph Simko Thanks. Glad the video is working for you. Stay tuned for more pen videos:)

[@MrThomtree]

I could watch your pen videos all night. And often do!

[@RelaxingASMR]

Thomas Bennett Thanks. Glad you like them so much:)

[@uziel900able]

Never knew what a fountain pen was until about a week ago and now I find your video ha nice man nice.

[@RelaxingASMR]

uziel900able Glad you found my channel. Hope you hang around a while:)

[@AnonymityIx]

Your fathers pen works shockingly well for being so old and relatively inexpensive. In a single dip of ink you were able to write so much.

[@RelaxingASMR]

Rhea Silhouette It writes as well as any pen I own. I'll be using it more in the future. Thanks for commenting:)

[@firehawkws7]

Vintage pens arguably are better than most new pens.

[@rubberduckyfilms4546]

You have literally beautiful handwriting

[@Matt-ik7dh]

I loved the video I like it with background noise though but still yet great video!

[@kickboxs77]

Another great video :)

[@mikelawrence30]

A pen video! Awesome. The Mont Blanc Boheme is incredible, the craftmanship that goes into that is very impressive. The mechanical actions appear to be so smooth as well. An idea for drawing out of the hat, you could use initials of your patrons? That way, they keep their privacy, but get to see if they've won or not. Either way, I think it's a great idea, and can't wait to see another pen review video!

[@RelaxingASMR]

mikelawrence30 Glad you liked the video. Initials for pen drawing not a bad idea.

[@Mvb2024]

I honestly liked the background noise. But this software is ok too I'll still be a listener!

[@WhispersMack]

Great video! And very nice pens. That Montblanc must be a nightmare to clean, eh?

[@sethdillard5840]

I love your videos, so thanks for sharing with us! Very relaxing and it's interesting to learn about the things you show us as well. Happy holidays. :]

[@RelaxingASMR]

Seth Dillard Thanks for taking the time to comment Seth, and happy holidays to you too.

[@wlewis610]

I enjoy your demonstrations of the various fountain pens you own. I've always loved the fountain pen and would like your advice on a first time purchase. Thank you!

[@stevenservin627]

Love the video!!! and the love fountain pens as well. I just started my own collection, I have a Lamy and a Waterman's Charleston. Could you make a video giving some advice about writing, calligraphy, etc. Keep up your great work and greetings from Mexico.

[@Lycosa]

Thanks, great tip. Pens are nice. A decent writing instrument. Woah so cool Yes Deep quality red ink. I have a Parker Sonner matte black with gold trimmings pen. Gold trim and clip, they got some real gold also (plating or something). Beautiful nice pen. About 80€ maybe, can't remember exactly. And I got Parker Quink replacement ink cartridges to use for it in a box. Pleasure to write with it. Rollerball. Parka'

[@crbell1978]

Just wanted to let you know, I still enjoy your videos even though I don't get triggered while watching (sometimes though!). Your segments are very relaxing to watch. Your passion for pens is contagious and it is because of you I will be starting a new hobby. My first pen will be a Lamy Al-Star w/converter and a bottle of Noodler's ink!

[@RelaxingASMR]

crbell1978 Lamy Al-Star. Good choice! Welcome to the world or fountain pens, and thanks for commenting.

[@douglasgorney]

Mrs. Relaxing AMSR!!!!

[@jameshamilton081]

Inspired

[@JonathanB2012]

Hi RelaxingASMR, I have a Cross Classic Century fountain pen that only takes cartridges, no converters. Can any cartridge be refilled in the way that you refilled the cartridge for your Mont Blanc? Which is a lovely pen, by the way. Your wife has great taste. Any advice/help is appreciated. Thanks! :)

[@douglasgorney]

Love this! Great pens. I'm really jonesing after that Bohème…so it doesn't it come with a converter?

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

Your handwriting reminds me a lot of the Elvish font used in the Lord Of The Rings movies haha.

[@mahjestanislao806]

Hello monsieur! I recently watched your video a few days ago and I got interested with fountain pens. Since I had been journaling from quite a while, i want to make my handwriting a bit more "classy" and would like to buy one. Is that a good idea and is it easy to write with it?

[@scubb]

Only 4 years late, but if I had to recommend pens id recommend the zebra v-301 FP as the cheapest or the pilot metropolitan for my favorite since its only 15-20 bucks and comes with a converter.

[@Rooney343434]

You sure can go to the door and back quickly. :P

[@angelayala625]

No, the audio sounds clear on my end. Perhaps, your hearing aide is a little defective.

[@dren84]

I like Boheme and Duke the most. The Duke is presented on your differend vids

[@DJShearer]

Rotating your pens like a sheikh rotates his harem.

[@AlabamaBoiz]

2 years late but comment of the year

[@AJKlos]

Curious why you don’t put an ink sac in that pen?

[@RelaxingASMR]

No particular reason other than I don't work on them, and I really wouldn't want to mail it off and risk something happening to it.

[@AJKlos]

RelaxingASMR I can relate and understand. I have a cheap Arnold Pen that is vintage. Thanks for sharing!!

[@candyqueenify]

Around the 19:40 mark when you start writing the video cuts and makes it look like you erased the writing it freaked me out and I kept rewinding to see if it wasn't me going insane

[@jamescr101]

Am I the only one that heard, "It's just like baseball, you rotate bitches"?

[@jamescr101]

1:28 "You rotate bitchers" xD

[@AnonymityIx]

Hah coincidence. I just cleaned my LAMY yesterday. Changed the ink cartridge from blue to black.

[@RelaxingASMR]

Rhea Silhouette Gotta love the Lamy's

[@uncleroxk]

Is that a Boheme XL?

[@andrewj8610]

A $600 pen, you have quite the wife!

[@RelaxingASMR]

Andrew J Thanks, She's the best.

[@EdnaMillion.]

The Al-star is still quite stained. I reckon someone has been using the notorious Bay State Blue!

[@RelaxingASMR]

DrugProwlingWolf Indeed.

[@mrmaccomputer1]

You could replace the ink sac pretty cheaply in your dad's pen.

[@jarhed6]

I am looking for a pen that I would use only to sign important contracts for business. Any suggestions anyone? I personally like ballpoint, but perhaps the assembly of a fountain would be more ceremonial?

[@vanezcha]

Jared Therrien Mont Blanc 149 of course.

[@rknine7998]

The common denominator between the MontBlanc Boheme and the Lamy Al-Star is that *they're both German*.

[@RelaxingASMR]

+RK NINE And excellent ones at that!

[@ColinBrain]

Audio give you trouble on this one? Sounds like noise removal occurred and degraded the audio... :\

[@viveksharma6000]

I have the ly safari

[@renovatiovr]

Despite looking really nice and having a price of 600 bucks along with the sick opening mechanism I didnt like the inconsistent ink distrubution and it felt like it was not touch sensitive which was very well seen when you were writing the word "away" - writing the first letter the pen lacks the required ink pressure to provide the clear writing along with the grip and paper touch feeling making it somewhat unreliable

[@renovatiovr]

And this problem has 2 edges on a lot of pens. Some give too much ink making it feel like it leaks, others like this one - dont provide enough. It is really a challenge to find that very very one. In the end the purpose of the pen is to write as clear as possible, so 600$ should first go into the writing mechanism and not the opening system.

[@RelaxingASMR]

RENOVATIO What you saw of the pen in this video isn't indicative of my general writing experience with it:) thanks for watching.

[@Top5Viral]

No new videos? :(

[@danielbuchta7748]

Have you ever spilled an entire bottle of ink by mistake?

[@RelaxingASMR]

da whispa No....not yet. Hope you didn't jinx me lol.

[@Roflcopter4b]

Why don't you get the pen re-sacced? There are several people who could do that for you.

[@RelaxingASMR]

Roflcopter4b The thought has crossed my mind. If I can find the right size ink sac I may do it myself.

[@firehawkws7]

RelaxingASMR It looks like a Wearever Supreme. You'd use a size 16 sac. I'm out of 16s, but have a couple 15s (they would be kinda tight, but would work) and shellac I could send you. If you're interested, let me know. Richardspens.com is a great place for repair tutorials.

[@GenesisStrike1]

Can you do a face cam!?

[@lylesmith4478]

my penmanship is crap
