I'm sharing the pens I inked up for the month of May (and possibly June) 2023 and providing writing samples with each of the pens. I have a huge array of fountain pens and ink colors to explore and I can already tell I'm getting pickier with my pens and will probably sell one or two of them at the end of this rotation.

Oh, I think you might like the most🤔 the 823 and Kobe, Sorakuen Tea Green. I like this Kobe ink too, I just wish it would shade more. Good Luck with the rest of your move🚚✅

I do really love that combination. I experience some shading and it's beautiful.

Forgive me if you've addressed this and feel free to just point me at a video. I've watched a ton of your recent videos but am quite new to your channel. How do you use your pens? I think I've only heard mention of long-form journaling. I love your version of the rainbow, BTW! It is right up my alley, but I wouldn't get through that many filled pens in a month.

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

I use the pens for journaling, letter writing, and video notes. I usually don't fill the pens to the brim and normally (not sure why I changed actually) I tend to use them for two months and then just swap out five-ish pens. So that I always carry five pens over and ink up five new.

The Kobe ink would be a good match for the 3776… :) I think I need a sample of that Robert Oster Morning Mist. Thanks for sharing, your thought process is always very interesting to listen to. :)

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

Yes, that might be right, the BPC Cold Steel is definitely too wet for the pen. Most of the inks I have inked are such great shaders. I'm so in love with them. Even the Kobe ink shades nicely.

Another great line up Miss Simone! I think that I want to revisit the Lamy Aluminum - I had a plastic safari a long time ago, and although I really liked the nib on that pen,, I wanted to sell it to buy more expensive pens. But I think I'm going to get the Petrol AL for my birthday this week. Happy weekend, I hope you have something fun planned.

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

I really want to explore the Lamy nibs again. I remember them (it - that one fountain pen I had in school) to be so easy, smooth and wet. Maybe I just put so many wrong inks into the pen.

This was awesome! I really enjoyed seeing your final matchups for pen/ink. Each time I watch one of your videos, I want to use your combos for myself. 😹 I always make a note of my faves and I will try them out down the line. 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

That would be so awesome then we could exchange notes on how we feel about each pen.

Great line up! That Papier Plume ink is a really pretty color. I'm enjoying watching you curate your collection. Can't wait to see what your next acquisition will be! :)

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

I originally didn't want to purchase/acquire anything until after the move. I think I said after the SF Pen Show. But clearly, that didn't work.

You’re not just penabling. You’re pencouraging impulse shopping. I’m worse. I could have got a Visconti Venus for $102 last night, but I put it off, and this morning the price was back over $340. So I can testify we need to impulse buy. The fomo is real!

@@animula6908 I think I’ve leveled up to penpusher at this point… But the real problem is my new case of codePENdency: I felt the gut punch of that price change. That’s the worst!! 102 one day 340 the next: Madness!!

@echimide1991 Жыл бұрын

your new pen looks super beautiful and the name is cute as well! That pen-ink combination looks great! (I have a question... as usual OTL) have you ever experience some kind of "leaking" with your 3776? That's a really lovely pen and I love how it writes... but it leaks :(

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching, Vir. I do not experience leaking with my 3776. It sometimes has ink on the nib or drops in the cap but those can be explained with a bit of rough handling. Hope that helps and answers the question.

How do you find the Lamy 1.1 nib. Mine feels a bit scratchy and also drier compared to the Twsbi Eco1.1. The Eco 1.1 definitely writes much broader compared to the Lamy 1.1.

@seemownay Жыл бұрын

The Lamy is more responsive (less?) to how I'm holding my pen, if I don't angle the nib perfectly to the page it let's me know. The TWSBI is more forgiving, and yes, a little wetter. But on 52 gsm it's very enjoyable. I also used it on Iroful paper and that was amazing!

@tanjablume6343 Жыл бұрын

@@seemownay Yes, you are right, actually when I focus on holding the pen at a certain angle, it works well. I need more practice. I had a look at the Sorakuen and I can see some subtle shading too. I had it in my Twsbi Go, 1.1 stub🙋‍♀️

@tanjablume6343 Жыл бұрын

@@seemownay I forgot to say, I love using the Iroful paper with the finer nibs, even with a Kaweco Sport medium, which writes more towards the fine side✍️
