That Sindris pen 😮😍

That Polar Lights 😮😍

Montana Cans and Molotow are both German companies. Not to be confused with the other company called Montana that also makes graffiti markers and spray paint. That company is from spain and sometimes abbreviate their name to MTN. Liquitex is the only American company from the markers you have there. Posca is a Japanese brand that falls under Mitsubishi. They also make the PX 30 markers that are very popular in the graffiti community.

There is a flow regulating sponge between the nib and the valve that you are compressing each time you pump the marker nib to get it going. Instead of holding it down, pump repeatedly to compress and refill the sponge. The marker will prime much faster.

Have you tried synthetic oxgall solution? It's supposed to help with the environment dryness (plus I wonder if it would change the push of the others brands, like even it out a little... 🤔

I’ll forever regret selling my M320 Ruby. 😔

Love my Fude pen. Its worth noting that its best to carry fountain pens empty on flights as they can spurt ink under pressure at altitude, or minimum carry in an upright position. Great vlog, good timing for me as considering a Sendak before a trip to Greece. Thanks Jo in France 🇫🇷

Moleskin is correct to protect blisters, not to be confused with Moleskine note books!. Jo in France🇫🇷

Jan’25. 🇳🇿Considering class. And loved your review. The classic pear!, thankyou

At 14:13 she opens up a notebook with syringes and I immediately realize that she means ink business.

did you ever get the Coarse nib ground? Or are you using it as is? I have three Platinum #3776 broad nibs that I love, but they all write a little different. ONe of them is broader than I like, so I need to only use specific drier inks and specific paper for that "too broad" for me nib

Those pilot converters are horrendous

Just last week I received my order of the portrait palette collection. I’m anxious to set up and swatch.

Oh Mystery! I've only just found this wonderful video. THANK YOU so very much. xx

I have just ordered a small one for Christmas 😅 🎄from BK

That is a wonderful case roll 😊 To make it even easier to open and close you could attach a small tassel or tab to the elastic loop...

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.
