I am in my 60s and just discovered fountain pens two months ago. They are such a part of my life that I feel as if I have been using them for decades.

[@kevinu.k.7042]

Superb! Chuckles. Here's the thing: Scans were done on peoples brains when they were using a keyboard and writing by hand. The scans showed that the creative parts of the brain were more active when hand writing. Cheers!

[@jessedavidschell6492]

Perfect - absolutely perfect! It’s your special style of talking about fountain pens which makes your channel unique among all the fountain pen channels on KZbin. Not the same old same old but thoughtful content. This really resonated with me. I’m glad you’re back and giving us more of your fountain pen wisdom.

[@onepenshow]

Thank you, I really appreciate the compliment. I want to make more original videos so it's satisfying you noticed. I don't know about wisdom, but I'll keep pretending.

You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I love any help you can give me!

[@bryanroger9197]

@Augustus Edgar I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@bryanroger9197]

@Augustus Edgar It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@scottwarwick7514]

I’m getting my first pen tomorrow. I’ve been rewatching the videos on your channel for a month and now it’s time

[@muskndusk]

The pleasure of moving a smooth wet nib over paper keeps me wanting to write and write. Before I realise it I have written pages in my A4 journal even when I've had nothing urgent to say. Thanks for the giggles.

[@kathybost1879]

They are ingrained in me. When you got to 5th grade you were taught cursive. And you used a fountain pen. I think this was before cartridges because everyone kept their bottle of ink over on the widow cabinet. You walked over there with your pen and filled it up. I used a fountain pen all through high school. Of course that was many years ago. I will love fountain pens till the day I die, and into my next life!!!!!!! greetings from USA

[@onepenshow]

I have completely forgotten about fountain pens from 5th grade up till a couple of years ago. Glad I rediscovered them.Thanks for sharing Kathy!

[@trueetiquette]

I recently bought my first fountain pen. I'm in love. I want to write and write and write. It has never occured to me like this before. Such a wonderful feeling to put down what you feel and think on the paper. Pure magic. I haven't yet realized the difference and do I really have to? I couldn't care less why, as long as I love it.

[@KeesKouwenberg]

SO TRUE!! Why I write with a fountain pen in a Leuchtturm? I can write the same words way way way way cheaper. So why? You said it: Because it's fun!

[@onepenshow]

There's nothing wrong with respecting our own writing.

I love the cabin fever style of your videos. It suits you well and it is insanely entertaining and informative.

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Thank you for informing me of such a good expression! It really suits, 'going quietly mad'!

[@vilebrequin6923]

"Cabin fever"....spot on! The quirky music and editing adds greatly, too. Glad to have found this great channel. Nice guy, too.

[@Englishroserebecca]

Fountain pens just so beautiful. Good writing paper. Beautiful cards. Different coloured Sealing wax. Sealing Stamps with pretty patterns. A nice desk in the window. Quality. I love it all. I love to put my cards in a box add packets of perfumed sachets and when I give a card it smells so beautiful. A comfortable writing chair with my desk lamp and fresh flowers. I am in heaven.

[@elquimps7120]

The way you talk about this is really really cute. That passion is really great... It's obvious that you reakky love it; and then, you make great videos about it. I like it so much

[@abettermousetrap]

I am new to fountain pen use here. Thanks for your content. I am seeing a solid need for a return to using and improving penmanship if for no other reason than writing cursive is considered a secret code to most under about 30 years old

[@AndreMonz]

Thanks for expressing on a single video what I am supposed to think about everyone who asks (in a negative manner) about my hobbies. The struggle is real! Some people seem to lack the appreciation about different stuff by not wrapping their minds around the fact that each have their reasons to live a fulfilling life. This is the Playstation and McDonalds world we live in and who isn't part of it is the strange person in the room.

This video is so artistic and quirky. Amazing production quality - great job! New subscriber.

Yorrie, thanks for having me!

[@vilebrequin6923]

Same here!😊

[@DevDungeon]

I have fallen in love with fountain pens. I started with the PILOT disposable V pen F. Then I did not want to waste and got a Dryden but realized the medium nib was too thick for my ruled paper. I then got a Beiluner fine tip and a bottle of ink and now am hooked. I can't wait to go through this bottle of ink so I can buy some dark green to try out. I went down a rabbit hole of pen collectors and the fountain pens are so alluring.

[@Scouzeboy]

Greetings from Australia. Love the video.

[@georgedhmosxakhs2498]

This guy can sold a fountain pen to anyone

[@smart4141]

Crazy.... background score is good.

[@ladybuggy11]

Where do you get your ink bottles? I love their size and shape. So quaint. Any websites you would recommend buying them from?

[@GS-cg3yn]

I often wonder why I like the things I do. On an unrelated note, your eyes are quite lovely.

[@PastStory]

"They write like you should be breathing." -- Perfectly said.

[@onepenshow]

Thanks I appreciate it Matthew, simply thinking out loud here

[@StationeryNerd]

"I do like to store things. Let's store something right now." LOL! I love your sense of humor. ♥

[@onepenshow]

There's something oddly satisfying about storing stuff ... Thanks and I've subscribed to your channel!

[@judepope6196]

You are a good storyteller. It was so entertaining and capturing. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@ronaldfabricante2158]

I like your commentary about the fountain pens. I am in the same trajectory as well in terms of using fountain pens everyday. Could you share with us what types of fountain pens and inks you have?

[@SydMaven]

Fountain pens. They're a live medium of expression - like painting, or music. They're evocative of what we learn from our forebears in literature and poetry. Just bloody wonderful, really.

[@vishma9166]

Love the video and music...Could immediately relate! Trying to cultivate it back!

[@onepenshow]

Well that's great, thanks Vishma

[@fbales]

You’re me, 40 years younger, a lot better looking, and a much better voice, but I like fountain pens, like you. FUN!! 😁🤪😜

[@onepenshow]

Haha well I don't know about that but I really appreciate the compliment.

[@jinseinogakuseiesq2724]

what color green is that you were writing with?

[@sana-dd6rf]

That is a person in Love!

[@AdrianPaneto]

Can you share the fountain pens in this video or where you got them?

[@SunshineFL]

I use one evade too

[@patriciaborlongan8046]

Well done!! I needed to hear this! *Thank you*

[@onepenshow]

You are very welcome Patricia!

[@Art_culture_livin]

I am really disappointed in myself that I destroyed my first ever camlin fountain pen ( 16 years ago ) purposefully. Bcz I got a green one and I hate green , secondly I am too bored the fact that pen is not too good . And then my brother gave my the exact pen in black color , at that time I was almost in love with the fountain pens , and I regret about green pen ,, and I literally used the black pen till 2019 until it started leaking from the nib , I still kep it though

this video, when he talked about all the reason it reminded my childhood when I had my first fountain pen I thought it could accompany me forever.. and then the next one, all the next one.🤪😄

[@ivanskryabin5220]

Very nice vid. The pleasure is beyond utility. Its about passion!

[@onepenshow]

Thanks Ivan, I agree completely.

[@rameshcs7146]

Love your videos.. just subscribed...😊

[@angelus142]

Hi can you recommend which fountain pen nib?

[@kimberlycastillo3858]

What fountain pens you recommended?

[@onepenshow]

if you're just getting started, you can go to onepenshow.com/firstpen

[@GretaC]

I'm getting paid today and I'm so tempted to buy a Lamy. What do you recommend, like about nib size etc?

[@onepenshow]

I love my Lamy. Nib size is really personal, so it depends on your handwriting. I only bought Fine and Medium nibs for my first few fountain pens, you can't really go wrong with those. If your handwriting is small, I suggest you try a Fine or Extra Fine (Lamy nibs are pretty broad).

[@onepenshow]

and if you don't like your Lamy nib, you can swap out the nib later on for less than $10!

[@GretaC]

@@onepenshow Thanks!

[@archivist17]

Hey, good to see you back!

[@charlottesimons8925]

Really like your channel - I found you after finding out how to clean my fountain pen. Glad you are as passionate as I am about the humble fountain pen. I'm a subSCRIBEr now and will be happy to stay :)

[@onepenshow]

Hi Charlotte, welcome and thanks! There is something about them and I can't put my finger on it.

[@eileengoldenberg270]

I use fountain pens to DRAW, SKETCH, make ART!!!!!! That is why! I don’t really write with them at all.

[@johnlopez3996]

Why do I use fountain pens? I do not have to worry about taking a disposable ball point pen and throwing it in a landfill after all of the ink is gone. Fountain pens last for years and can be passed down to future generations. Fountains serve to protect and preserve the analog soul that we are want to maintain. Every stroke on a paper is a true representation of ourselves. No computer font or program can replicate that tactile feeling.

[@onepenshow]

I agree John, well said.

[@Ohio_mans]

Hey man that is bery nice we all love you

[@frenchbullfrog]

By Golly I think you have it !!!

[@Lenduya]

1:20 and you still haven't said why...

[@fmc6338]

question, question, question. a writer.

[@onepenshow]

I do look for answers, I promise

[@Gregwisconsin]

What brand are the black notebooks? Terrific video, thank you. I’m a scientist and here’s an experiment: get DNA samples from a well attended pen show and look for “the FP gene” ... if there is one, just a thought. Many stamp collectors say there is indeed a collecting gene and more specifically a stamp collecting gene. In the end, what ever the reason, I just like fountain pens and think they are an almost ideal tool! Write on dude.

[@onepenshow]

Those are Leuchtturm 1917, which use better paper than Moleskine (but less than Rhodia). I like them. Great details like pagination.
