I gotta say here are used to love Pentel. And I’ve used Pentel gel before and I really loved the purple one, but it started skipping on me and pretty much all of them I’ve ever used skipped on me so I’m really surprised that you’re saying that they don’t skip.
Cannot believe you guys didn't give a warning on the Preppy.... because once you get a Preppy, you learn about how great modern fountain pens are, you learn about converters (to fill with ANY FOUNTAIN PEN INK YOU WANT!), and then before you know it you have a Pilot MR, a Lamy Safari (or AL-Star), a TWSBI Eco (Or Diamond580). And then you cannot stop! So you have a Platinum 3776 Century, a Pilot Vanishing Point (or Custom 74), a Sailor ProGear.... it just keeps going! 🤩🤣
I literally just bought 10 Kokuyo Soft Ring Notebooks right before this video... So happy with my purchase, the paper was super smooth! Definitely investing in more of these as the school year continues
yes zebra pens are amazing!! I've been refilling mine for 7 years, it's my go to for everything. very cute, affordable, and the perfect pen all around 🥺💘
Darned kids have it easy these days. When I was your age I had to chisel everything into stone tablets and then carry them through three feet of snow to get home.
I can’t recommend the Preppy enough for fountain pen beginners! It’s pretty amazing, tbh. There’s also a Preppy marker and Preppy highlighter, if you want refillable versions of those kinds of pens.
indeed , My other expensive fountain pens stop working if I don't use them for few days but preppy never betrays. Preppy 02 is smooth and always ready for me.
@@pritambiswas4185 Well, that’s Platinum over all. I own several levels of Platinum fountain pens, my most expensive the Century with a 14kt nib. All of them keep working even if they rest for weeks. It’s the slip & seal mechanism in the cap and it’s awesome!
I got a platinum preppy as my first fountain pen but recently got a twsbi eco and I have to say that for beginners or school the preppy really is the best, because I found that it is less finicky to write with, as well as being much much cheaper (not where I live but for most people who will watch jet pens, I think) so you're not too scared it's gonna break. Gotta say that plastic is pretty sturdy tho, mine has fallen on the ground more than once (I try to be careful but yk how school is lol) and I have no cracks!
It's more that other types of pens hurt to write with more than a few lines is why I use fountain pens almost exclusively, more than the other reasons.😁 A big question: why does letter writing supplies like loose paper and envelopes seldom, if ever, get mentioned when stationery is mentioned?🤔
Do you guys have notebooks that prevent pencils from smearing over time? A lot of my writing from over a few months ago tends to start to smear on the back of the other page and the page it’s on.
The Dr. Grip pen is one of the best pens I've used. It made writing comfortable during my chemistry clases, where I had to do reports and could only do them with pens.
Another excellent ballpoint, although not as easy on the budget, is the Zebra X-701. Smooth writing under most conditions, even from underneath. The pressurized barrel ensures consistent flow and the K refills are pretty inexpensive. I also highly recommend the Energel, great pens.
No attitude, just a sincere question: Why do you need special paper or notebooks for lefties? 🤔 My right hand moves over die rings in the middle of the notebook when I get to the right side of the left page. Your left hand moves over the rings when you start at the left side of the right page. I can't figure out why lefties have more trouble than righties. Can you please explain? 😊
@@HS-ml8dx the "front" side of a page is on the right side of a notebook's rings, so lefties will end up with their hand over the rings far more often than right handers do.
the soft ring mentioned in the video is good for lefties. however there is one binder notebook sold in jetpens that has rings on the top and bottom on the page, freeing up the middle for your hands :D the energel is good for lefties, but ballpoint pens are your safest choice
maybe it's just me, but if your spiral-bound notebook is "scratching up" the inside of your backpack, the problem is not the binding. it is 100% because your backpack sucks. I do like my Kokuyo Campus binder though specifically because of the pull tab, so I might get a soft-ring notebook too. I cannot go back to standard looseleaf paper now that I've tried Sarasara.
yeah. but also spiral bound notebooks generally sucks because in my experience they rip up your paper and cover on the edges over time. i use binder notebooks and never looked back
Oh, absolutely. I hate how ragged my spiral-bound notebooks look after one semester. I will never go back to them after using binders. I just don't think scratches on the backpack matter when it's more likely one will actually wound oneself on the binding.
I cringed at every product haha It's too true. You can tell Japan appreciates their education system more than America by high quality, sturdy, long-lasting, and minimal-waste products.
Really? I was gifted a Zebra Delguard 0.5 last year and absutely love it, but I was wondering if the Pentel Orenz would be better when I buy a 0.3, 'cause I push down too hard on my pencil. 🤔
@@radnukespeoplesminds Sounds? So you haven't used both yourself yet? Yeah, I'm a little concerned about the lead sheath too. Would love to hear from someone who has used it. Maybe they can give us an idea of whether our concern is valid.
If you're getting cheap pens, I'd recommend the Bic Cristal pens. Always smooth, reliable, super cheap, and they're a classic modern industrial design.
@@sollerona No, no I’m talking about Bic pens, but pilot pens are available in my country though. But not everything from pilot, but instead only a few things.
4:33 still throwing shade at 5 STAR i see.... look i just want them to try some of the newer Stationary products they make like to give the critical information about how to make a good product.
Have you tried these products before? Let us know your favorites in the comments!

Are these available in sri lanka
Seeing these videos makes me wanna buy an entire art/stationary shop 🥹
I legit want to buy the whole stock of my go-to-bookstore
That's probably my dream
Sometimes happens but just save ur money 💰 for the future
Same 😅
I recently bought Platinum Preppy as my first fountain pen ever and I can't believe how easy it is to write with it! Definitely worth it🥰

Gateway fountain pen!!🖋✍🏽

Note that Dr. Grip gel pens also hold Pilot Juice refills! You can really expand your color choices that way!
Yes! I've been using Dr. Grip the last 4 years. Right now I have yellow, pink, sky blue and purple ink
Your voiceovers are always so pleasant to listen to! xx

Energels are good, I love the needle point. But the ink turns gray if you write on white out, so I prefer the Sarasa ink, which stays black.
As someone who has always had difficulty hand writing these videos are opening a whole new world of ergonomics. Thanks for the content.
Platinum Preppy for the win!!!

Love the needle point Energel
Could you do some awesome videos for office workers who don't work from home? Would love to see how I can upgrade my work setups :D
So that's how you use Pentel Orenz. I've always left a bit of lead outside and been wondering why it's always breaking
“Every erase leaves a dirty face!” My second grade teacher. Too bad JetPens wasn’t around in 1968!
It's more that other types of pens hurt to write with more than a few lines is why I use fountain pens almost exclusively, more than the other reasons.😁
A big question: why does letter writing supplies like loose paper and envelopes seldom, if ever, get mentioned when stationery is mentioned?🤔
Weird how just seeing those pens skipping started frustrating me and giving me a bit of anxiety, like it was some kind of school related PTSD.
I just bought from your shop. Really excited ❤😃
the pentel orenz also comes in 0.7 for my fellows who like thicker lead !!! i have one, its lovely :]
I can definitely relate with the mechanical pencil lead breaking, it just wastes pencil lead and is very annoying
I stand by the Dr. Grip pens and pencils! They're so nice to use with a lovely minimal design!
Why oh why Pentel Orenz isn't available in 0.7?
Energel are the best affordable gel pens. I use their brown ink refills with my Machine Era brass pen body. A fantastic combo!
I thought this video is about "stationary you definitely don't need, but you WANT to have"
The eraser and Campus notebooks are my picks!
Do you guys have notebooks that prevent pencils from smearing over time? A lot of my writing from over a few months ago tends to start to smear on the back of the other page and the page it’s on.
I stopped using notebooks with metal rings and never looked back
Can you make a video for school supplies for middle school
I feel like buying all of these right now
Energel is the best🎉
I need those storage drawers you showed in the beginning of the video. I have the Clena and Energel needle point. My faveeee pens ever
Hi there! We get our storage supplies from IKEA and The Container Store.
@@JetPens thank you so much!
The Dr. Grip pen is one of the best pens I've used. It made writing comfortable during my chemistry clases, where I had to do reports and could only do them with pens.

I just realized that I volunteered to subscribe to a channel that is basically just commercials for office/school supplies. 😂
Those Zebra Serari ballpoint pens are tempting! How do they compare to Ballograf?
pentel energel is my go to! 👍
0:44 I think you forgot about the zebra del guard
I mean you're telling me I don't need it but likeeeeee 👀👀👀
After 1 year of college, I went looking for jobs and my pen was Pilot DR Grip!!❤ I love the grip, easily hold on to it.
Great video!!! No cheap stationary here
SIUUU big fan jet pens forever
Pls star I would be happy :)
Is it just me, or does the idea of a lead-saving pencil superhero sound like the plot twist we all needed? 🦸♂️💫
Kool stuff! Thanks. 👍
"Stationary your wallet definitely doesn't need"
honestly, don't ever buy disposable pens, fountain pens is the way to go
Any notebooks with good quality paper for lefties?

It is so odd that I actually KNOW some of these pen names! I used Pentel in high school. Even 38 years later I am still gravitate to them . LOL😂
I cringed at every product haha It's too true. You can tell Japan appreciates their education system more than America by high quality, sturdy, long-lasting, and minimal-waste products.
I find the zebra delguard to be better at protecting lead.

If you're getting cheap pens, I'd recommend the Bic Cristal pens. Always smooth, reliable, super cheap, and they're a classic modern industrial design.
@@kerc Thanks.But the problem is, the fact that I don’t live in America, and where I live, Bic pens aren’t available
where do you live? i think pilot pens are generally more available worldwide
@@sollerona No, no I’m talking about Bic pens, but pilot pens are available in my country though. But not everything from pilot, but instead only a few things.
Who uses a ringed notebook open like that?

Then why do u have it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
