What I've Been Writing With - October 2024 Edition

[@sbfentress1]

I love to see the what you have been writing with videos. Keep them coming!

[@ChillGuyCapybara]

I love pens, too. I already bought a Lamy Pico and satisfy with it =)

[@ixno3]

The Postalco Uni pen is very nice! Would love to see a video on it and similar premium pens.

[@lukebowman7513]

Love the Dr. Grip gel, I put a pilot juice up refill in mine.

[@herbcraven7146]

I'm always interested to see this series pop up. Those Floatunes look interesting, so I'll have to see about getting some. I've been enjoying my Zebra Sarasa Dry pens this month, as well as the two-color Pilot Hi-Tec C Coleto, one of which I have loaded with a pencil and eraser unit. Thise are fun pens, and the missus liked the concept and got one of her own, a five color with an assortment of ten colors. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@Unlucky1776]

Might get some for my dad

[@unsharpen]

Pilot Hi-Tec C Coleto! Love to hear people are enjoying those.

[@Unlucky1776]

@@unsharpen I just have a regular pilot hi-tec. Super smooth writer.

[@jessISaRicePrincess]

2 slot coletos are the best imo so thin!

[@blazy9572]

floatune is also available in red ! the ink is a liquid ink suspended in oil so it runs smoothly and retains the vibrancy of gel ink

[@kingweck]

Super excited to see your Lamy BP refill hack! Looking forward to the full video. There was a rumor recently that Lamy is going to release a M16 compatible Jetstream refill called "M17" in Jan 2025. I hope it is true. It is the most logical thing for Uni to do after acquiring Lamy 😅

[@unsharpen]

I saw this m17 talk on Reddit. It would be incredible news.

[@syedafahd]

Love this series. That Lamy 2000 in stainless steel looks beautiful.. Also you won’t believe I bought a pilot Ageless for 12 USD off of Amazon.. 😊 It was pink though..

[@unsharpen]

That’s a great deal! Thanks for watching these videos

[@RobotPorter]

I like to think I inspired you to revisit the Dr. Grip, when I mentioned one was in my rotation a few months back. 😉 The only unique addition to my writing arsenal in the last month has been my Luke Skywalker Sheaffer Pop rollerball. I picked up a few of the Star Wars branded Sheaffer Pops when Goldspot Pens had them on sale about a year ago. But I'd mainly used the fountain pens. This has been my first extended use of the rollerball. Very nice writer. And the Luke Skywalker livery is well done. But they're not worth the almost $40 MSRP.

[@unsharpen]

For no particular reason sheaffer isn’t really in my rotation. And yea, it’s been fun revisiting the dr grip after a long time

[@daviyen]

(cries) the Layered Uni by Postalco is definitely something I don't need but now I know it exists I want.

[@unsharpen]

Ha I know this feeling quite well

[@bngr_bngr]

I love my Lamy 2000 pencil .7mm.

[@inkfrogrfx]

A good replacement for Lamy M16 is Monteverde® Soft Roll™ Ballpoint L13 Paste Ink Refill

[@unsharpen]

Yea that one is fine but it’s very similar. My goal is to get a hybrid or gel refill in there. I feel like I’m getting closer

[@harikeeshan]

Hauser SRX is a really practical pen. Its cheap, disposable and reliable.

[@jkn2k]

Let's go !!

[@veejoo7]

Would love to see a jotter style pen comparison of different pens like you did for Jotter style refills. Been looking to buy one matte finish or a regular plastic half metal

[@Zyrix5160]

❤

[@markmorris2207]

Lite Touch ink is quite wonderful.

[@Unlucky1776]

Ive gotten into fountain pens and i cannot come back

[@unsharpen]

I've been on a bit of a fountain pen hiatus aside from my platinum 3776, which never leaves my desk

[@Unlucky1776]

@unsharpen ah well I've just started. I might get a wingsung 601 as my final one.

[@Lepon5]

I'm still on my Twbsi kick. I have 4 now 😢

[@swfl2720]

Have a baker's dozen..3 preppys,a metro,a safari,3 Al -Stars,3 C-1s ,one x159 and a Prefounte. First FP?? Precise Varsity...which is by far the most reliable of them all and refuses to die. Favs are the Metro and Al Stars...but appreciate all.

[@corner6029]

Nice

[@iiisaac1312]

When do you consider yourself "done" with a pen? Do you burn through a refill or just end it after the month?

[@unsharpen]

Usually just when I’m bored with it I’ll put it aside and revisit it later. I usually don’t feel compelled to finish a refill unless it’s in the last 10% or so

[@Mayank_Maximum]

Floating is a ball pen like jetstream or my pookie brt, Pentel is stupid and they should make zrn5 at 25₹

[@jessISaRicePrincess]

if you want a great writing pen that is dirt cheap Flex office Flex Stick is soo good for how cheap they are!

[@unsharpen]

Good idea! Thanks

[@Sammydx1]

Not gonna lie. I fell for the hype with the Uniball Lite 0.7 I cant feel the difference at all. I use it with a Uniball metal oily pen (has the little blue crystal on the pocket clip) and i cant feel any difference

[@asfasfd7772]

Lamy is such a strange company. They make beautiful pens that only accept the absolute worst refills.

[@unsharpen]

We will see what happened now that Mitsubishi Pencil has bought them!

[@asfasfd7772]

@@unsharpen Wow! I was not aware of that news bombshell!

[@jake407]

Picked up the new variety of Floatune for 2$. Same old stuff really. Im finding a lot of decent pens made in China by M&G and Deli which are pretty nice and very cheap in most cases. Time to move on from the same old thing Japanese pens. They are priced at a dollar or so. So easy on the pocket. I wish you would get a website up. Sick and tired of the constant KZbin ad interruptions that are getting more frequent and longer.

[@unsharpen]

I’ll have to look into deli and mg. I see them on Amazon but haven’t got any yet. Thanks!
