Stunning purchase. Its so beautiful. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thank you for the well wishes.
This is a new one to me. Thanks for sharing. 💕
How exciting…something new for you to explore 😜
Beautiful pen! It reminds me of my BENUs. I discovered an “angle” difference with my BENU B and M nib pens yesterday. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous ink. I’ve never heard of this brand before, but will definitely check it out.
You’re welcome. The shading is spectacular so I ended up getting another one 🫣. I think the angles are different on each pen, some are more giving than others.
Great video
Love the Video, I have the Feel Teatro, ordered direct... and the inks are sensational. I have the Giallo Cannella and Grigio. Scribo.
I love the Teatro.
Your fountain pen looks gorgeous! That brand is on my wishlist and I'm saving up for one.
Yay! How exciting. I’m sure you will love it.
I have this pen in the "Utopia" resin and like you, find it to be very comfortable and a great writer. My only complaint is the facets don't line up when the pen is capped. In looking at yours, it seems they've corrected that problem. That ink has amazing shading properties in your writing sample. Enjoy that new pen ... cheers!
Thank you 😊. I’ve discovered that at first the facets didn’t line up because the body of the pen wasn’t screwed on to the grip section. It’s on tight am now the facets line up better. Not sure if that could be a solution for you…
@@CarrotsOlives This was a known problem when this pen was first launched. At the time, I confirmed with both Tom Oddo (Goldspot) and Emy (Pen Venture) that it required significant effort/cinching to get the cap and barrel facets to align. Now that I've had my for awhile, it has gotten better ... yay!
Gorgeous pen.
Thank you!
Thanks for the Review! A really beautiful pen again. I actually tried to win an online auction for the flex nib version, but didn't get it in the end, sadly... One question: The step down from the barrel to the grip section looks really sharp. Isn't that uncomfortable to hold?
That writing sample shades like a champion. WOW! I am considering a Scribo Feel. Considering means I'm like 90% in because of the wonderful things I've heard. Ebonite feeds are great. I love them, but they are a pain to clean. In case you don't know the history of Scribo, they are former OMAS people, and Scribo bought the old OMAS nib machines. If you ever get a chance to write with an OMAS take it. TAKE IT real quick, and just enjoy. I've heard great things about the flexible nib. Again, being OMAS people, I would would be confident in the Scribo flex nib. Hope you feel better.
Haha. I will remember to take an Omas if it ever comes my way. Well I hope you enjoy your flex nib if that’s what you choose to buy. I haven’t cleaned out my pen yet, but I’ll definitely double check to make sure the feed is clean. Thanks 😊
@@CarrotsOlives It is best to flush the pen with some water and a drop of dish soap before inking it up. It'll clean out any oils and bits from the machining process. With Scribo it shouldn't be a problem because Scribo tests every nib before it leaves the company. What I meant by a pain to clean, is that ebonite will soak up the ink, so it'll be something to get that clear water, if you're crazy like me who wants the pen clean like the day it was made. It's just the impatience of it all. It takes me twice as long to clean out my OMAS pens, but rice and peas, I love em.
A little point of information: Noodler's ink bottles are also 90mm. Almost all colors retail for $14.
Fabulous 'font' you use.
I find so far that the one Scribo ink I have behaves better than three of my Noodlers inks I own ….it could just be me.
@@CarrotsOlives Useful info, thanks.
Very nice! But, yeah, holding an odd angle for any length of time is hard. I have a beautiful vintage Centropen, but I have to hold it really low down for it to work properly. Hope you are healing well.
Thank you for the well wishes. I still love the pen anyway ☺️
@@CarrotsOlives Yes, I adore my Centropen, too, and spend a lot of time looking at the chatoyant celluloid. I just don't pick it up for inking very often...
Beautiful, beautiful pen, and my favorite color, but not my favorite Scribo, and not my favorite in the hand, for that matter. My two primary daily carry pens are a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age, and a Scribo Feel. I love both of these pens, but the Scribo Feel is perfectly named. It feels like no other pen I've ever used, and I've used hundreds.
If one 90ml bottle will last you a lifetime, you need to find other ways of using a fountain pen. I go through about five times that much ink every year, despite the fact that I also use dip pens, quill pens, bamboo pens, and river reed pens. And get pens, and mechanical pencils, for that matter. But I write five hours per day, I do pen and ink art, and I make three types of journal entries each night.
I'm not sure which three Noodler's inks you have, but I have close to a hundred bottles, and none of them behave badly. A number of Noodler's inks behave as timidly and perfectly as any ink out there. A fair number, however, are designed to have special properties, and some think this means the inks misbehave. They don't. They do exactly what they are supposed to do in order to best display those properties. You just have to know what it is you want, and know enough about Noodler's ink to pick and choose.
Using an extra fine nib complicates things a bit because you aren't putting down enough ink to see most of the extra properties an ink can have, and some of those properties can even slow down or cause skipping and hard starts in an extra fine nib. Extra fine nibs, and certainly extra extra fine nibs, just work better with ordinary wet inks that do not have special properties. Every brand makes inks like this, but the number one overall brand that works well with very narrow nibs is Pilot Iroshizuku. All the Iroskizuku inks are designed for extra fine nibs. Designed for nibs of every size, actually. Iroshizuku is just a wonderful brand. At least, I think so.
Of course, if you have an extra fine nib that's very dry with ordinary inks, then Noodler's eel inks are a great choice. I think the wettest ink out there is Noodler's Hunter Green, but it is also three times as expensive as the standard Noodler's ink. I think I paid fifteen dollars for a one-ounce bottle. That sounds expensive, but I have more than a dozen bottles of Montblanc inks that cost ninety dollars each, and I have a bottle of custom ink from Japan that cost well over a hundred dollars.
Fortunately for me, I didn't have to pay for most of these expensive inks, and the few I did pay for were a tax deduction. Otherwise, the only one I'd own would be Montblanc James Purdey and Son Single Malt, and I'd own just one bottle of it. My bank account is NOT big enough to be spending that kind of money on ink that, at my age, I may never get to use, especially now that I'm retired.
Thank you for your thoughts and expertise. I feel that I’ve missed out on a lot of unique Montblanc Fountain Pen ink. I only have the Homer Blue and it’s a little boring to me. I will look into using a wetter ink in my Scribo FP. I’m still hesitant about Noodlers inks though…I have about six of them. They are either blah 😑 colors or colors that feather and bleed through my paper…but I’ll try them again to see if I can find a better combination and use
I thought I remember you had a Feel too? Isn't that the same brand?
Yes they are both Scribo
My pen exploded at school today :/
Oh no that’s terrible 😞
