Hi Peter. I'd just like to say that I, and probably many others, watch these videos precisely because you are not an expert. Not only that but, you tend not to research the pens you get extensively instead preferring to jump right in and get your hands dirty. That might sound like a backhanded compliment but that kind of blank-slate "purity" is something that's rare and unique in this internet-dominated world.(Though please do be careful, I was a little nervous when you started sniffing that vintage Quink in an earlier video) You bring fresh eyes to the table. Your opinions are shaped only by first-hand experience. That level of genuineness is something "experts" can't offer no matter how sincerely they try to be impartial. Those of us who are deeply steeped in the enthusiast community will inevitably have our opinions colored by the things we read and popular opinions that we hear. And tbh, if I wanted a review from an "expert" there are at least half a dozen other channels I could have gone to, but what you do is one of a kind. "opposites attract" as they say. I am here not in spite of but because of the fact that you are not "one of us". I am here because I am seeking a perspective different from my own, and from the echo chamber I am used to.

What I find helps for the glimmering ink is to shake the bottle before filling it and fill it from the middle/bottom as it'll set it in that direction. Then when you're using the pen every now and again tip the pen over and back, rocking it a few times to agitate it gently. Don't shake it or you'll make a mess as ink might splatter from the tip.

The Stillman Birn episilon paper is my favorite. It's a smooth paper, good for mixed-media and "light" washes. However, I have had the same problem as Peter does... ink especially wet inks or flex nibs takes awhile to dry and will smudge. I like for general purpose art -- copics, markers, ink, ink washes (light), color pencils. But don't go over-board with wet media.. it won't handle a lot of that.
