researched the video and this time I got it all. the first time I'm skipped the part about the review of all the pens and came back on with the two pens at the end .this time it makes more sense.
The passion and energy u bring to this hobby of ours is a pleasure and I am very grateful for ur beautiful videos. Happy holidays and looking forward to ur 2017 reviews, inshaAllah.
First of all, Merry Christmas Ruth! Interestingly, I have purchased Lamy 2000 in the summer this year when I was visiting Warsaw for scientific reasons. Anyway, I got it but for a while a was on the fences deciding if I really like it or not. I have in F which actually reminiscences italic to some extent and as many Lamy 2000 has it 'sweet spot'. Once I learned how to used it and what ink works the best for me with this pan , I felt in love and it become my ultimate pen of 2016 and its built quality is perfect for my job I do in the lab. The italic feel of the nib helps to create crisp sharp lines so my writing looks more dynamic. I got one pen from John Twiss this year too and I absolutely adore it. Looks great, but the JoWo nib it has (touched by John Sorowka, I believe) is simply amazing. I never had any problem with starting or skipping...nothing. Ready to work every time. I am planning to as John to make me another pen earlier next year. TWSBIs I had highs and lows with them this year, but still I think these are great looking and writing pens for money.
TheClumsy Penman I'm glad you like your pens too. I know what you mean about the Italic feel on the 2000 it exists on the EF too. I wonder what will come our way in 2017.
Just found your channel - it is such a delight! And you have a warm, relaxed way of presenting! I look forward to watching more of your videos .. thanks for making them!
Merry Christmas!!! I have appreciated your videos and IG feed so much for 2016. I only started in this rabbit hole of fountain pens and notebooks in January 2016 and you have been such a great teacher! I hope 2017 is full of the best things for you and your family! Cheers!
Dale Tamara Plett thank you very much. it's a great community on the whole full of people very willing to help. hope 2017 brings you lots of good things ....
Thank you Ruth for all your efforts sharing your thoughts on pens and inks in your lovely videos. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017 to you and your family!
Thanks for all your fine reviews this year. Your work has helped me greatly in my FP selections. All the best to you and yours in 2017. Merry Christmas!
Iv'e just bought a Lamy 2000 from Write Here ,Shrewsbury and I keep picking it up and writing with it for the pleasure of putting the cap back on . It really is as near as damn it , perfect . Any pen that has a permanent place in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has to have something going for it .
Thanks for sharing your top 5! Great to see a woman do pen reviews on You Tube! I have 4 of your top 5 (not the Twiss) I love them all was well. Do you have any Visconti or Aurora pens? Two of those make my top 5. Happy Holidays and a have a great new year. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
J Engelkirk thank you. I haven't tried Aurora brand yet maybe they will come my way in 2017. I have reviewed a Visconti opera but hoping to try the homo sapiens in the new year.
What are your favourite places to buy the fountain pens you own?also merry christmas(I know its a little late but who cares) and you make very nice and pleasant and enjoyable videos.
Personally I don't see the logic in why would a colourful pen have more "personality" than a black one. I can't use the Lamy 2000 because those teeth on the o-ring bother me. But it is an interesting pen. It is more rooted in Lamy 27 than Lamy cares to admit, with the same nib, feed, filling system and overall silhouette. But it was brilliantly repackaged by Muller. And the links to Braun design and Ulm school of design are fascinating. It influenced Apple design and many others, that's why this pen still looks so modern.
Happy Christmas (according to John Lennon) to you and your family. Thanks for the pen reviews. Is the UK only in one time zone? I like how your prounouce "video" as two syllables and not three.
I am deciding which pen to buy between Pilot custom 74 sf and Platinum 3774 century sf which one of these pen would u recommend or whats your opinion on these 2 pens?
thanks for the advice~its still so hard to determine which one to purchase... both pens have similar price in my region thats why it is so hard to make decision out of these 2 pens...
i have already purchase the 3776 with sf nib...the designs of 3776 attracts me more... and i would like to have my pen to have some feedback rather than all smooth... btw...thanks for recommendation...have a nice day :)

A very precise video from your part.....great work...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!! Keep up the great reviews!!!
Thanks , I bought the 580 based on your advice and i love it 😍
bob clapper I'm glad you like it
I like your choices very much and the Lamy 2000 should be on everyone's top5 I think , perhaps even all time great pen list Merry Christmas
Lamy 2k is amazing. I love mine. Love comfortable and great writer. Size medium
Thanks for sharing your top 5! Great to see a woman do pen reviews on You Tube! I have 4 of your top 5 (not the Twiss) I love them all was well. Do you have any Visconti or Aurora pens?

I am hoping to get my hands on a Sheaffer Snorkel in 2017...and any and all OMAS pens I can get my hands on hahaha. Thanks for a great video :)
If you do not mind the international shipping from the states, you may borrow one of mine.
I find it really interesting that you started out with a pelican m200! Now that you have a lot more experience how would you compare it to a m400?
Thank you!

alex mood it's all personal taste in pens. I can u derating who you mean about the clips but fortunately they don't bother me.
Happy Christmas (according to John Lennon) to you and your family. Thanks for the pen reviews. Is the UK only in one time zone? I like how your prounouce "video" as two syllables and not three.
Nice edc... lamy 2000... Definitely... Yes
Is your Legacy getting any scratches on the inlaid nib from the inner cap? It's happening on mine for some reason.
alex mood not that I've noticed yet.
alex mood not that I have noticed
Well very nice talk but where was the list of five pens? You showed one pin that didn't make it, will what ones did? . I am very confused.
I think you have to watch the video again because she clearly goes through the 5 pens in detail.
Julia Horton hi julia. I'm not sure what happened but I do go through each one
I am deciding which pen to buy between Pilot custom 74 sf and Platinum 3774 century sf
which one of these pen would u recommend or whats your opinion on these 2 pens?
zeppelin lai two nice pens ... my preference is the custom 74 the nib is softer on it however the 3776 is cheaper and a good pen for the money
thanks for the advice~its still so hard to determine which one to purchase...
both pens have similar price in my region thats why it is so hard to make decision out of these 2 pens...
The 74 seems to have a very springy nib while the 3776 is a very light pen and a very distinct feedback. Is there a way you can try before you buy?
i have already purchase the 3776 with sf nib...the designs of 3776 attracts me more...
and i would like to have my pen to have some feedback rather than all smooth...
btw...thanks for recommendation...have a nice day :)
zeppelin lai glad you liked it. I'm selling my 3776 and will definitely try out the 74 before buying.
Not even one Pelikan?
Paul Irineo Montano afraid not this time. I added a m205 blue demonstrator to my collection but the others were better for me.
Sheaffer, Sheaffer, Sheaffer and Twiss, Twiss - that's how I see these 5 pens ;).
Not only pens that's fair enough
How much did you pay for Ffion's glasses??
