- Recently, I found this pen available on Virtual Pen Show on Instagram, after watching it on eBay for a few months. But did I make a mistake making this purchase? #newpenday #fountainpen

Thank you SOOOO MUCH, @Karyna!!! It is SOOO important for everyone to hear!!! I am a FAN of your "waiting" a few days before you buy. It ALSO looks like YOU are able to SLIM down your collection rapidly! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing with us!!! Cheers!!!
Thank you for your honesty about the pen burn out. I’m quite new to the hobby (only started last October), and I think part of why it took me a while to finally purchase my first FP is because I knew it was such a deep rabbit hole to dive into, and that options are literally endless to the point of being overwhelming. I haven’t been in the hobby long enough to experience burn out, but at 9 pens in, I’ve started to feel like this is where I take a pause and enjoy each of the pens I have first before purchasing a new one.
New subscriber here, loved this breakdown and honesty from you. I'm new to the fountain pen space so it's great to know I have someone who will always give an honest feedback.
İn the last decade - decade and a half or so FPs got more popular then ever. Before that the idea of a new FP with many bells and whistles almost monthly from a gazillion brands was just none existant. I got soo excited at some point during those years that I started buying a lot of pens just out of curiosity more then anything else really. After covid the online shopping scene was so dominant that by that time we almost totally stopped trying the FPs in stores. Besides, that meant that we could access waay more easily a small pen maker from anywhere in the world. That opened up more and more doors to buy pens rather then experience them. Personally it took me quite a while to calm down and realise that I actually use and enjoy some of my pens but not most of them.
This video perfectly captures the idea that sometimes the wanting is better than the having when collecting. I’ve experienced that just wish I was better with release when I have buyers remorse.
This is so relatable! I’m proud of your honesty with us. ❤
I was so surprised to see this thumbnail pop up in my feed as I know you'd mentioned not always being 100% happy with Sailors, so of course I clicked right away because I was wicked curious how this purchase came about and what drew you to the pen. Definitely appreciate the honesty about how maybe the allure of wanting this colorway from your wishlist outweighed a lot of factors you normally consider, as well as about how burnout is affecting you. I'm sorry the purchase didn't end up being one you could be super excited about, and I hope that your next NPD is a much more enjoyable one for you.
Oh no!! Karyna! I did go “hmmm you bought a Sailor?” When you shared with me because I know you don’t love Sailors in general. One of my questions I ask myself is, “ do you use pens in this brand on a regular basis? Do you love the general pens in this brand? If not, don’t buy it” and that’s where I’m at with Benu pens. I don’t buy any because I haven’t found my love for them yet. I hope someone loves this Sailor and takes it from you ❤
I know the feeling. I really wanted the new Kaweco but I love the Kawecos I have now. So I won that mental debate...lol. I've found my favorite Sailor Pro Gear so I am set on that brand. Pilot is another story...lol..My favorite brand for many many years. My future goal pens are documented and I hope to just stick with that alone (Big ticket item Montblanc149 for when I graduate NP school). If I really love the TWSBI ECO newest color I will get it due to the low cost...which this newest release was another debate I won...lol...money saved. Wishing you and the rest of us the best on making wise decisions and enjoying the fountain pens that we have now.
Hi Karyna. That is a very nice pen. I own a Sailor Pro Gear and they are great pens. I like the two tone nib on the Mocha. Mine is single tone white gold but two tone is the best looking.
Great review and great message for us newbies. We don’t need it all and I’m doing the wait period you suggest. It really works as I changed my mind on 2 that I just didn’t need. Impulse buying is tough to battle.
I've been eyeing that pen on Pensachi. Waiting for it to come back in stock. ❤
Thanks for posting this Karyna. It's been a hot topic of discussion lately. I've been pairing down my collection as well, have sold 9 pens so far this year and have 2 up for sale. Really want to focus on what I have instead of always looking for the next best thing. It can be exhausting at times. I took a break from fountain pens a few years ago. Not totally though, I was journaling in a Midori One Page One Day with lots of collage and color. For that year, I used one pen, my beloved Pilot Custom 912 inked with Pilot Iroshizuku fuyu-syogun (I actually used a whole bottle of ink). It provided me the much need reprieve and kind of a reset.
Thanks for sharing! I ended up getting a Lamy 2000 and love it! But I agree the burnout is real. When I was pregnant with my first I could not stand fountain pens and took a break from them. This time I’m enjoying them still during pregnancy but trying to have less. I’ve sold some that were great but didn’t reach for.
It is such a beautiful pen. I don’t have a Sailor yet, but will buy one, one of these days… I recently decided that my collection needs some careful expansion. I’ve decided to purchase at least one pen a month after trying to decide what I really need and want. I bought a Platinum 3776 and really love it. So I am going to research the gold nibs a bit. This past month I bought the Esterbrook Winter White and really like it. Trying to go slooowwwly. That is so hard.
yes the burn out is real, I've backed off from purchases since January and I only got the Esterbrook Estie as it was a pen that has been on my wishlist for the longest time, but I waited for the right price. I've also slowed down with inks and other stationery purchases. I want the time to enjoy the pens I have and use the inks that I have.
Thanks for the honest video. Where do you sell your pens?
If you’re feeling burned out, sell the pens that no longer bring you joy and then take a break from the hobby for awhile.
My wife approves of your channel!
I have been fairly careful not to go overboard in my 1-year fountain pen journey. I own 8 pens, 3 of which are very inexpensive, and one was over $200. Part of that has been that I do have a budget, including lots of medical bills for my daughter. So I have been very selective and frugal - a variety of nibs, shapes and designs for as much variety as possible.
