    Anyone tried the more affordable retractable fountain pen? Originally by Pilot (Very beautiful, very ingenuitive, very expensive.). The cheaper alternative is the Majohn A2.

    I love fountain pens, but they don't love me. I always managed to have them leak all over my fingers. Wound up looking like a bank robber where the load of bills hid an ink bomb that went off when you tried to count the loot.

    Pilot varsity is best writing instrument.

    I love cheap fountain pens but I dropped big bucks on a Namiki Emperor and have no regrets. No other pen comes close to the writing experience.

    I'm just wondering where you shop for your pens because I went to look for the pilot preppy and the pilot varsity on Amazon and couldn't find anything less than about 8 bucks for the varsity and a couple bucks more for the preppy. Are there good and cheaper alternatives for a refillable nib pen or maybe not even a refillable if you can get a few of them package together?

    Still got my Parker 25s. Pity they don't make them any more.

    I had a Pelican fountain pen that I used at work for eight years. The reason it lasted so long, is because no one wants to borrow (and forget to return) a fountain pen.

    Funny how this particular video helped me to find this channel. And bigclive recommended it.

    Fountain pens, slide rules, Heathkit devices – are we related somehow? LOL! I hava a Varsity pen too. I've had it for years and avery time I pick it up, it writes. Keep up the great work!

    Lamy Safari ist ze best pen we got. But you can take almost any school pen, put a proper nib on it and just write away.

    I greatly enjoy your electronics posts but you really got my attention with this. I learned to write with a fountain pen and just never liked ball points. I have a couple of good pens but they stay home. I carry LAMY Safaris for all my daily writing. Bi don't care for the twsbi either. It is pronounced twiz-bee. I'm definitely a LAMY fan.

    Correction: the Preppy is NOT a Pilot brand pen, the Platinum is not related to the Pilot line, which does explain the differences with the Varsity.. I shot this vlog pretty much out of the box, and well – I was mistaken. But hey – Still a fantastic pen!
