Unknown Japanese Paper Discovery + Tino Fountain Pen | Top Drawer

[@Michelt007]

So relaxing to watch fountain pen videos! Ahhh!! I will probably stop watching any news video for the next four years and only watch fountain pen videos!!

[@jartecus]

Very relatable 😭 time to immerse myself in hobbies and art even more

[@solitaryascidian]

I've been putting ink swatching videos to play and not even looking at the screen, I just need the sound to drown the thoughts 😂

[@charlotteweaver-gelzer515]

A reliable way to stay sane and stable in the coming days/years. Good plan.

[@solitaryascidian]

@@jartecus I mean, just for a little while. I also got new responsibilities at work and I'm swamped for the next weeks/months, but I'll soon look into registering to work with the party I vote for (not USA but this stuff trickles here so I want to do something two years from now.)

[@cookiebartosh4842]

Right with you!

[@guildhousegaming7673]

Love your reviews! They really help keep me grounded in a hobby where it's so easy to get carried away with ultra premium everything.

[@Doodlebud]

Most important part is how well something works. If something is designed right so its made well you don't have to spend much to get quality pens. Nib tuning and grinding is a ton of fun too. Can turn a basic bland pen into a favorite with a few tweaks to a nib

[@roguerouge]

That pen "slipper" is too cute and now I have the urge to sew a bunch of them

[@BossPenguin]

I really like your reviews because you go into the more technical details of the manufacturing process. I started out my professional career as a mechatronics technician in Germany before venturing more into the data security management route, and it’s always a hit of nostalgia when you point out a particularly well-crafted grip section with knurling, for example. Thank you and keep it up! Nice to see your sub count go up, as well!

[@Doodlebud]

Glad you enjoy my perspective. These are the things I notice naturally right away. Whenever I grab something I can't help but wonder how it was built

[@rahashi]

Late for the GAW, but just here to express my gratitude for yet another great vid.

[@detpekandefingret]

Why do I find it interesting to track how far that thumb nail has grown.... Almost there now.

[@Doodlebud]

INSANELY SLOW GROW!!!!

[@detpekandefingret]

@@Doodlebud Not at all, toe takes 2-3 years to regrow/one cycle.

[@NathanStrunk-p9c]

I love the way you present every pen and paper. It is like i am doing that. I do it the same you do things.

[@Doodlebud]

Great minds think alike 👍

[@mahdigharavi8425]

Always appreciate recommendations of new papers/notebooks that I haven't yet tried. Thanks!

[@seniordan12]

as someone who uses fountain pens for sketching, new papers are always fun to try

[@judithgray7180]

My favorite pen reviewer. And one of my top channels for any topic. Thanks for the low key friendly style.

[@fossilimprint2954]

Always appreciate when I learn about a new stationary shop. And they even offer their own design in pen, and their own paper! Many thanks sir.

[@DylanGumm]

Your videos are incredible and part of the reason I finally pulled the trigger on buying my first fountain pen!!

[@mariatriesart8389]

I came for the paper, but I love a triangular shaped fp so I stayed! I also loved the lighter, the flint inside and its colour and shape are sooo unique! So is the bullet shape of the fountain pen, unique! I love unique items!❤❤❤❤

[@Carlos-zi4hz]

Nice pocket fountain pen and slippers. The lighter is a old fashion beauty, and the notebook looks great

[@2sherrymoore]

Thank you for your videos and reviews! They are very informative! I have enjoyed watching them!

[@BiblicallyAccurateSeraph]

I discovered your channel a week ago and it's super soothing. Plus it's fun to watch a fellow Canadian that likes fountain pens!

[@thewetpen]

Romeo is the house brand from the popular stationery shop chain "Itoya"... if you haven't been to the Itoya store in Ginza, Tokyo, you should! Itoya makes Romeo Cocktail inks, and Romeo planners and notebooks and Romeo pens. Itoya re-launched the "Romeo" brand about 15 years ago, though the original Romeo was around in the early 20th century. It looks like "Top Drawer" is a division of Itoya.

[@Klemensie]

Any news about availability in UE?

[@thewetpen]

@@Klemensie Sorry, I've only ever seen it in Japan.

[@AJigsawnHalo]

I was in Itoya in Ginza recently and couldn’t help myself and got the limited edition lamy x itoya copper 02 safari

[@thewetpen]

@@AJigsawnHalo I was sooo tempted myself! It's a really sharp looking pen :-) Hope you're enjoying it!

[@jessicamalloy8372]

@@thewetpen I have bought several Romeo notebooks on Amazon. Such beautiful paper and design.

[@kgilbert298]

Thanks for the review! I'm really interested in that wonderful paper you described and the pen was very interesting as well.

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi DB! As totally fascinating as the fountain pen and papers were, I'm fascinated by that lighter! Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@CedricVanbellingen]

Definitely a great looking pen, I'm a sucker for heavy metal so I'm partial :D Thanks for offering us the chance to get one!

[@tootsfour956]

Love your channel. That pen is intriguing. Thanks for this and all your videos. Blessings

[@shemward8126]

I love fountain pens but dont usually have the money to buy more, so watching these videos is always fun because I get to live vicariously through your collection!

[@Sinar-P]

The best and only fountain pen channel I subscribe to.

[@theprof_001]

The pen is an interesting design for a brass pen. The variety of stuff they sent you made the video very interesting. Thanks. 👍

[@ichirofakename]

I came for the review but stayed for the handkerchiefs. Thanks for the show.

[@JerryCarter-xu6rs]

Great insights Doodlebud! It's always refreshing to hear new offerings.

[@AlexPlatte]

I love your videos for your depth of knowledge and explanations. Thank you for deepening my enjoyment of find writing!

[@WestForMiles]

I always enjoy the insights you give into the techniques and challenges of manufacturing fountain pens.

[@dontbringmedown70]

What a lovely assortment of items! I love your handwriting. Thank you for doing this generous giveaway!

[@jasonjampoler3905]

Thank you for the opportunity and especially the pen review. As a fan of both brass, and triangular pens I'll have to take a serious look!

[@farmerfox3332]

Been a subscriber for a number of years now. I enjoy your content.

[@cigarmonthly]

First video ever but I checked out the shop it’s amazing. Thanks!

[@wendyholiday2021]

Interesting sturdy pen. Love your Interesting product reviews. Would love to try the Romeo paper.

[@badgerbloodmoon5236]

Looks like some really neat paper! I'm only a hobbyist, honestly, but it's fun to see videos like this, people testing out stuff that I can't personally afford, and seeing what I might want once I have a bit more cash on hand.

[@amyleighharrison]

I am just now learning about fountain pens! It’s a rabbit hole and I love it!

[@karenholden4740]

The triangle pen looks really interesting. I'm glad you have a nice pair of slippers. This is a nice video. Thank you for your time.

[@witnessftp]

It is a nice touch that they include the pen “slipper” along with the pen. I wish more companies would include some sort of pen case/slipper with the pen. I do like the brass over the aluminum. That paper also looks very interesting.

[@RandomShrek]

This has very quickly become one of my favorite channels. You are very informative and your videos are so relaxing. Cheers.

[@haroldmarenger3435]

Hello! Thanks for another great and useful video. The Romeo notebooks look great! Interesting fountain pen, too. I think I’ll check out their site.

[@Tom-R805]

Another great review. I really like the pen and paper. The handkerchief have a nice design!

[@PjHalliwill-w5z]

My grandma had a little lighter like that! It was my grandfather's and it didn't work, so I was allowed to play with it. Great video!

[@nancymcnee2707]

And slippers too! Those notebooks look very interesting. Thanks for another great posting.
