    It is lovely to see all the models side by side... When you are in the middle of making pens you often forget to stop and appreciate how things have changed. Thank you so much for this... I really love the video... and thanks for all the kind words... 🙏🙏🙏I really appreciate all the love and support.

    Ordered mine due to your previous reviews. Received it last week. The pen is Soooo much more amazing in person and real life use. Wish Mr. Shakour increased and continued success.

    Gratifying to see what is possible when one cultivates a relationship with a craftsperson -- more than one, since the nib may require different sourcing. What fine pens! Thank you for the review!

    Thanks for this video. I am so intrigued, but I haven't had much luck yet locating his website. I love the look of the wetness and size of the Mardi Gras and Mango writing samples. I have a small hand. I have two large pens I love, the Jinhao 9019 and the Jinhao Tiandian 1935. I am going to have to rewatch this video a few times to get a sense of how these pens compare to my 9019 and 1935 in size. The bigger ink capacity of the Titan Pens has just dazzled me. What a beautiful Titan Pens collection you have, Stephan! Well done!

    Thank you for this interesting overview on the evolution of Titan pens. Like you, I am fortunate to own several of William's pens (including a pocket pen with a size 8 nib!). I can easily relate to your admiration for these pens and agree with your comments - your experience with these beautiful pens mirrors mine. While I have many pens to choose from, I seem to end up using one of William's pens most days!

    Perhaps love, or not love but affection. Watching your survey of these pens, and observing your writing with them, it is difficult not to admire your attachment to them . Plus the unique energy you apply to the different writing samples, unlike the hundreds of times I have watched others scribe those identical phrases. A unique topic and well formulated. Great work!

    Hellooooo Dr Brown, absolutely love it, great pen, great story, great exhibition of your collection. Speaking of the Great Exhibition did I ever tell you I wrote an essay for Victorian History for Kingston Upon Thames London University for my undergraduate degree? I learn so much from researching this. Such as, did you know we get the phrase "Spend a penny" from the fact that they needed to fund the facilities for the patrons and George Jennings was the person responsible for us now "spending a penny' or 50p to visit the loo. Anyways, back to the 3D printed pens, love them, I might even need to look into one myself one of these days.
    I thank you again Stephen for bringing us more content

    Great topic and I will gladly watch more of this subject later. Pens of that size would probably require me to learn to write two-handed, but I did like seeing them. Ib also enjoyed seeing the various kinds of nibs s and the writing you produced with them.
    Thank you!

    Your evident delight in describing and using these pens is striking. Thank you, and thanks also to Mr. Shakour. I'm wondering if the slight (as seen on my computer screen, at least) difference in the shades of the several grey pens is a function of the dimensions of the pens' walls rather than a difference in the material itself, not that it matters. A pen seller/repairer of my acquaintance has a 3-D printer. I asked him if it might be possible to create a threaded section to replace one on an older pen that had shattered, but he suggested it would be preferable to find a sacrificial pen and butcher it for parts. Lacking the spare pen as well as the inclination, I declined. The printing process is a newer art form, as well as a technological step. Does anyone remember "spirit masters" for making copies of 2-D items? Build biceps and get intoxicated at the same time!
