what model pen is that large one you mentioned? is it the Model 19?

I guess my question is, does it write normally without flexing? I do not use flex nibs and would not want a nib that flexes all the time unless I exert pressure.

I love Benu. I have the Euphoria and the Talisman sizes

Love this setup! I just ordered a sidekick during the Black Friday sale. I can’t wait to get it!

It looks like oil

What number design is this cover in?

I will defend them a little by saying my Winsor Newton Pro Yellow Ochre gouache did the same thing the raw umber did too.

But those Peter Pan nibs are FUN!! You probably saw mine I posted on my other account about 10 years ago… 😂 th-cam.com/video/b-pfIh2HM4k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tPYpoVhkqbXCCI8a The one in that video is about an inch short than yours (both capped). I have around twelve, mostly the smallest eyedropper models, but a few lever fillers too. In fact, the reason I looked them up here after years was because I replaced one of the lever filler’s sacs (which is made out of a GORGEOUS wood grain celluloid or, more likely, cellulose acetate. I have a tiny gold Mabie Todd just like yours too, and it’s one of my favorites! And for sure find a restoration person you trust. But replacing sacs is an incredibly easy task. You just have to be careful pulling the section off the body-some ne’er do well people will sometimes apply shellac when re-inserting the section. Just have a hair dryer standing by on low if you can’t pull it out by hand. Great video!

Has the Sherlock leather around the spine soften over time?

OMG I love all of them except 1950 !!! If they are still available I want the 3 other ones

did it burp when the ink was about half the total capacity while you're using it?

I have two Koloros. I also bought a Jazz Holiday Pen. It's a beautiful pen. I found the section/grip to be too large for my skinny fingers, the pen too long, even unposted - my hand tired quickly. Much as I hated to do it, it had to be "re-homed". The Jazz in also just a little heavier. Love the Koloros. I would not have expected what seemed to be a small increase in girth or length to have made such a difference in my writing experience. Just a caution for those with skinny fingers. And old, but healthy, hands.

Thank you

Is that lined

Thanks for the video. Did you make an update review? I couldn't find it. I have some Ebonite Jaipur V2's with 14K gold EF Ultra Flex nibs and they are great! I love them. They write so good and smooth.

Good suggestion

In addition to the converter, Moonman/Majohn capless pens come with an empty cartridge and an eyedropper. I use that to get 2-3 times more ink in a fill than with the converter, and it's also a lot less messy, plus you don't have problems with the long nib when your ink bottle runs low.

All those Jasper stardust colors look like they're made with so much chalk in them I've heard other people say they're not good and it really stinks because I wanted to try them before I heard all of that they have so many colors to choose from but I'm just not willing to take the risk with the price tag

so true confessions. I just totally splurged and bought what I think is Franklin Christoph's flagship pen, Model 19. It's a chunky pen and I just love it. I never plan to have a Montblanc 149, but I love the size of that pen.. hence the chunky Franklin Christoph. I just love the feel of it in the hand. I'm surprised I don't see more reviews of this pen, because it's pretty fantastic

It's amazing that just a special nib can give such beautiful line variation

I just bought a bone crusher pen in black cherry and I absolutely love it !! It is the most comfortable pen for sure

Ooo these look good! I ordered the tinted charcoal from an art shop here in Germany and I am looking forward to them! I stopped ordering art supplies from Amazon here altogether, because they stick the stuff in an envelope and literally everything arrives broken or damages. I ordered a very expensive book and it also came in an envelope, with teares and dents and ears on the cover pages. I am SO done with Amazon, I'd rather pay a few euros extra somewhere else and the items get packed with care. Amazon has commercials nowadays, telling the general public they have "saved" so much on packaging...yeah right, and how many miles were made extra for all the stuff people have to send back because of the lousy packaging? Thanks for your video, makes me eager to get mine 🙂

Beautiful books

I was not the only one who think your voice is soothing.

Try dip pens ..

This is helpful, but your Schmincke looks very different from mine, much paler/less saturated. Seems like it wasn't fully rewet or maybe had some unmixed binder at the beginning of a tube?

Hi, you mentioned about the inktense being bright and you wanted ideas for mixing them. If you've not already discovered, Caran d'Ache do a 'Plexiglas Blending Palette', it's got a rough surface on one side for their neocolor ii water-soluble crayons and watercolour pencils, but it works with other brands. You scribble on it with the sticks, then activate with water. Hope this is of use, and thanks for the video.

Just found your video and was happy to see that the wider slot replacement Ebonite feeder works so well. Good to know. What bothers me is not just with Pilot, but with all the brands that offer expensive pens that come with flex/ultraflex nibs and yet are sold with standard feeders and are unable to deliver a higher volume of ink required for flex nibs. And I don't care if they were originally made for Asian markets. Once they are offered in western markets, the pens should be improved so that western cursive can be written flawlessly. The small extra cost for an Ebonite feeder designed for flex nibs is unlikely to bankrupt them. Just my 2 cents...

2nd video watching someone reviewing these. I found them on Amazon. It says refillable on the Amazon posting so I would assume you can refill but using the same color over and over. I want to try these soon. Great review!

I bought a huge set of the Neocolor II a few years ago. Not exactly sure why. I like having art supplies, whether I ever actually use some of them or not is a whole other story.

I have only bought one pan of Schminke, but playing around got the same color mixing cerulean blue with pyrrol scarlet. The blue is a little granulating, and maybe the pyrrol scarlet is too - swatched side by side, they look the same to me.

I REALLY appreciate this video!!!! You’ve helped me settle on Masha’s :)

Great colors I have oneMH color I think it is burnt orange. Nice

Nice work. I’m also wondering if a thin layer of plumbers tape would work? Thread sealing tape I mean. I wouldn’t try it on a clear pen like you featured but on one solid color. The tape wouldn’t be seen.

Wow congrats, fine looks like med to broad

Recommended pulling back the stopper a bit before filling

I'm only a year late but today is the day my palette you're swatching arrives!!!! I am SOOOO EXCITED!!! 👍💕

Hi, thanks for this video. I can see from your other videos that you also own the retro sets from Choosing Keeping and I've been trying to find out if they are the same paints but just different packaging at Choosing Keeping. I have the Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints and I really want to get some from Choosing Keeping but I'm afraid that I end up with the same paints. Have you noticed if they are the same? Or are they completely different colours made by a different company?

Excellent explanation and presentation

I’d love to know how the grip sections compare, which one is the widest?

This cover is so gorgeous 😍 I wish they’d bring this back lol

Opus 88 broad nibs are not the best in my experience, says a lot that the 1.5 stub writes better in my tiny handwriting than their normal broad.

Great video 😊. I enjoy the video and the other video that you made -- Penlux Rainforrest. You love the Jazz unfortunately not available where i live. The model that is available is Omar in Latte and the Opus 88 Demo. Online purchase, unable to write and feel test it at the store. In your opinion which one your prefer. Omar or the squarish Demo. For your referrence I have an Estie Raven button filler. Love the size and the balance. Thanks for your input and opinion.

My No 2 Reserva is not great ... it has never held a point & when wet it spreads like it's dry. My No 4 is great ... purchased both at the same time. It seems the No 2 lines have issues.

"Second Parts Were Always Bad"

i got it at amazon germany für like 109€ last week and therefore it is worth it. The over 250€ would be - but thats my opinion - too much for all the cons you mention (and which i second!). But I will use it for a companion of my little travel notebook.

Wooow❤❤❤❤i love vintage watercolors🤩

hi great video! is the label inside the case made of leather?

Very interesting pocket pen.

Thank you for this information. Hope you are fully recovered by now.
