Thank you, My Friend! I appreciate it. Those are interesting ones. The MB is a joy to write with. The nib behaves like a Waterman 52, but with less line variation. The Honeycomb Estie is probably my most beautiful pen. Thanks and please drop by again. All the best.

Thank you so much for showing your current pen collection. You ask if there are any pens that viewers would liked to see reviewed. Personally I would be interested in the East German Heiko pen as I've never heard of this brand. Also, you whetted my appetite with the Fountain Pen Revolution pen which looks great. If that wasn't enough, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Cartier Diablo. I would love to know more about how you choose a fountain pen, given that your collection has many expensive models such as Montblanc but also includes others such as the humble TWSBI Eco. A great video, Hemingway, thanks for sharing.

@HemingwayJones 2 жыл бұрын

Hello David, it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for your insight and for the great questions. I will take these topics up and make some videos on them. I would love to review the Heiko. It’s a cool pen. Thank you so much.

Loved seeing your collection. I too have the amber Conklin Duragraph in a stub nib and I love the way it shapes my writing. I also have the Esterbrook Estie in tortoise and in cobalt blue. Both of those pens write so smoothly. Have you ever tried writing with a Conway Stewart fountain pen? It is probably my favorite fountain pen - so beautiful in appearance and in the way it handles.

That’s fun! What a cooolection…and that was 2 years ago. So, how has it changed? Did you pare down or ramp up? I do have a question about the Kaweko Sport(s) {and your new art sport}: what fill method do you use with them, and when/where do you use these pocket pens? Do you travel with them? I was having complete FOMO about the Hickory Brown, found one, and sat for 2 days to think about, then hit buy this morning!

I’ve been thinking a lot of my fountain pen journey and how I should approach it. And I decided that I do not want to buy the trending pens but I want to buy pens that are unique to me and those that I will treasure for a very long time which I hope may have a few limited editions as well as some vintage ones. For beginners, what nib types do you recommend? My first pen is a Sailor Shikori in medium and I have another pen in the works which is medium also. I have small handwriting. That’s the Twisbi I want in rose gold. I love that Diamine OxBlood ink. I was looking at Fountain Revolution pens, great tips. Didn’t know the Kawecos were that small. Thank you for sharing your awesome collection!

@HemingwayJones Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching all these different videos. I love to binge channels too. It’s best to go for pens that speak to you. As for nib choice… You write small, but write with Mediums. Maybe try cursive italic mediums at some point. Medium is nice because you get a nice ink expression; the inks can achieve their full characters. Thanks for the kind words!

I was unimpressed by the FPR flex pen I got. I have upgraded to a Pilot 743 and a Noodler's Triple Tail for my flex needs. The best thing about the Triple Tail is that it accepts the fabulous Noodler's 308 reusable screw-in, capped, heavy duty cartridges. Right now I have two focuses: 1) German beginner pens with nibs, and 2) anything Sailor.

Do you have any suggestions for a step up after the TWSBI Eco? I currently have 2 (fine nib and stub) and I am looking to expand my collection to something nicer, but won’t break the bank. Any thoughts?

@HemingwayJones 2 жыл бұрын

The Eco is such a great pen at any price. I love it. Still, you could go Vac 700R if you want to stay TWSBI. If you could stretch to $200 there is the Sailor 1911 with the 21k nib. It is exquisite.

Hello HJ. That's quite the collection of fountain pens that you have. My collection is limited to 7 pens and I enjoy writing with all of them. I keep no more then 5 inked up at a time and rotate the different color inks through my journal. Although few in number, they give me great satisfaction when I used them. This brings up a question. With so many fountain pens, do you find yourself missing certain ones? If so, which do you love but barely use?

@HemingwayJones Жыл бұрын

Hello Richard! Great question and I could, and probably should make a video about this. There are so many issues with having so many pens. Remember, many of these are gifts or promo pieces, and this adds to the collection. Otherwise, I would have far fewer. I also have probably 80% of them inked up because I am doing content with them all of the time. Such a problem! As for the pens that I miss, the vintage MBs with flex nibs are so nice and I rarely write with them. The Sailor 1911L, although I have a plan for it. Some TWSBIs sit for a while. It’s a challenge! The ones I often use are the MB 149, Egyptomania, Waterman 5, Esterbrook Camden, 823, Brass Sport, MB 146. These are always handy! Thanks so much!
