One of the best collection videos for me, a new FP enthusiast! The presentation, narration all of it. A joy to watch and listen to and lots of pen to consider owning. Great job and I’m sure it was a lot of work. Very much appreciated!

New to your channel,😢 subscribed. You had me at the passport TN, but the fact that you watch Korean, Chinese, and Japanese dramas - well that did it!!!!! 😂. Suggestions: Forbidden Flower (Cdrama/Taiwanese) who doesn’t love Jerry Yan??? Also a Japanese movie “My Happy Marriage” its a sci-fi romantic drama weird but I loved both leads in this! What is your favorite drama/actors? My favorite actor is Vin Zhang Bin Bin Currently putting a drama journal together. Also - off topic - how can I find groups/pen pals for Asian dramas. I have NO ONE to share with! 😢. Love your EDC will definitely be stealing some ideas! 😉. Thanks again! God bless you!

Great presentation. just some feedback - i note some presenters use capital letters for naming the inks - From my time presenting lectures and displaying slides in an auditorium: all capital words makes it more difficult to read as the letters all appear the same height e.g. which is easier to read? GRIS or Gris, or gris? To take another example IROSHIZUKU or Iroshizuku ( in both examples you would need to reduce the letters to the size seen on video to see the difference better) Best Wishes and please keep up your excellent presentations.

I just ran to check mine, but I'm not able to feel any wobble or cap movement when mine is fully posted. If your pen is new, you may want to reach out to the retailer to see if it would be possible to get a replacement. I would hate to see you have a bad experience with the E95s. Thank you for watching.

@@snarkywordsworth Thanks for checking yours! I've had the pen for too long to make an exchange. I guess it doesn't really wobble, but when I'm writing, the cap shifts a bit with pressure from a downstroke. I'm used to it now.

It is definitely one of the wettest, broadest EFs in my collection. I usually pair it with dry inks that I really enjoy but can't use in my Japanese and standard EFs, so a lot of Robert Oster and multichromals go in it.

I'm trying to decide between the Traveler's Company Brass and the Kaweco Brass... Currently I only have Lamy Safaris.
@snarkywordsworth
@snarkywordsworth 20 күн бұрын
I would recommend thinking about how you feel regarding weight to decide between the two. Do you think a significantly heavier pen would tire your hand out? It seems like a silly question, but I know plenty of people who bypass heavier pens specifically because they don't enjoy the way the extra weight makes their hand feel. The Safari only weighs about 17g. The Traveler's Co pen is 27g and the Kaweco Brass is 48g, so it isn't an insignificant difference. I love both pens. If you like a wet writer and would enjoy something a little closer in feel to the Safari (weight-wise), then I'd pick the Traveler's, but they're both fantastic additions to any collection. Hope this might help.

Yes! Thank you! I have a camel passport with a nude galen leather wallet insert and I absolutely adore mine as well. I do use mine as a wallet however, and I carry the same brass Kaweco fountain pen and the same brass travelers company clip 😊. I have a monthly calendar in mine and the other insert i write quotes that inspire me. However I hop in and out of mine, and when Im not using it I am missing it,so it was nice to see how you use yours. Now I can put mine to use for something else when I’m not actively using it as a wallet. I love your tracking notebook. I have accumulated some very nice stationary items like pens, inks, washi, notebooks…and maybe having a list of them will help remind me of what I have and use what I have before considering making a purchase. Thanks again!

@snarkywordsworth
@snarkywordsworth Ай бұрын
If you don't want to have to condition your new pouch, you could try reaching out to the retailer for a return or exchange. I've been rehabbing leather goods for a long time, which is one of the big reasons I decided to just try my luck at fixing mine. If you do decide to condition it yourself, use a good quality leather conditioner. I prefer Blackrock Leather'N'Rich, but I've also used Renapur with good results. Plus, be patient. A lot of times you'll need to condition multiple times. Wait for the conditioner to soak in a bit before wiping the excess and reapplying if the leather is really dry.
