So, what’s your favorite?
Just got myself a nice treat... a Lamy Dialog cc, medium nib. I already got a Lamy 2k macralon, but this one fits my hand better and I prefer its weight distribution. She is my new favorite writing instrument and I just love taking notes with her.
I have one of each, and it really depends on the situation. I like ballpoint for restaurants or filling out forms because they always use cheap paper. Rollerballs are great for when I'm on the phone and need to jot notes quickly. Fountain is the best writing experience by far, but that is for much more thoughtful writing sessions such as journaling or goal setting. Great video as always!
Thanks so much and thanks for sharing your thoughts

Fountain pen for life ❤️
* Godly writing experience. Moreover the feeling while writing is another level which can't be described in words tbh.
* Plethora of ink color options, plus how shading or sheen reflects over a good paper is incomparable.
* Plethora of nib options ( Flex, Stubs are just next level experience )
* Also, since we have click fountain pens ( Moonman A2, Pilot VP), this makes carrying fountain pens everywhere eliminating the need for a rollerball or ball point.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
I love all forms of pens. The montblanc ballpoint refills are the smoothest ballpoints that exist. Their broad blue is beautiful on cream coloured paper. Great video and I watch and enjoy everyone of them. Thank you Samuel!
Thank you so much for sharing and thanks for your kind words. I'm really happy to hear.
By far fountain pens are my favorite (I have several) but I also use ballpoint and rollerball pens depending on the situation.
Great video, keep up the great work 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this, and thanks for your kind words.
Samuel Naldi Unsharpen got me started.
Hi Samuel, this is a really helpful video, which helps me to clarify my questions throughout the years.👍
I’m so glad to hear Bruce! Awesome!

I would say all 3 for outside the house. My daily carry is Ecridor BP, MB Heritage 1912 SS Rollerballpoint (looks like a ballpoint but writes like a rollerball) and my Pelikan M205. Love them all equally and they all write beautifully.
Inside the house, i would gravitate towards my 3 x MB 149.
Very interesting. Thanks Michel
Great vid............ thanks
Waiting on the Montblanc 100 years of Meisterstuck video. I saw some pictures leaked recently! Thanks for sharing
Coming as soon the Embargo is over 🙂
Hi awesome video once again......
do u have a personnel watch collection ?
Thanks my Dear!
fountain pen it is but i like rollerball too!
10:20 ok, so when I do those 4 lines with my ballpoint, they are not consistant like that, and I thought it was ballpoint nature so moved on to rollerball. But now I see this is not the case here. So do I just have a bad refill (either bad brand, or just bad piece)? Or am I doing it wrong?
I’m curious about fountain pens but have horrible memories from childhood of messy leaking fountain pens and scratchy writing experience. I guess I need to take a fresh look at them
Excellent overview! EASY answer: fountain pens are TOPS and are in a league of their own, especially if they have well-crafted gold nibs. And nothing compares to a top-of-the-line ST Dupont!
I use ballpoint pen in work.
Rollerball in formal meetings.
Fountain pen in private journal or writing a book
Looking to surprise my wife with a Mont Blanc pen. What would you recommend between the rollerball and ballpoint for signing legal documents, etc?
Best??? - No question at all - It's fountain pens ❤
Other two will be useful in certain situations and also must have as well.
So true 😄❤️
I am a fountain pen fan first and foremost, but I also enjoy ballpoints and rollerballs for their respective purposes. Ballpoints are ideal for writing on lower quality paper that suffers from bleed through, and paper that may be exposed to moisture or humidity. Rollerballs on the other hand are great as convenient sidekicks to fountain pens, for situations where decent quality paper can be sourced, but a fountain pen may be too delicate or less practical for the given situation. The higher propensity for rollerball pens to leak through low quality paper may be one of several reasons why gel pens have eclipsed them in sales on the lower end of the market.
Ballpoint for me (:
Thanks for sharing Hugo!
Hallo.. Please name of Ink... 8:05.. THX 🙂
Fountains pens and by far. However I have one fine rollerball when doing measured design of the ancient theatre, and a few ballpoints when I go out in the evening to the theatre and need to take down notes in dim light. Not that the fountain pens are at any fault, I may do something foolish and get stained or the fountain pen cap might drop. Just a measure of protection for my precious fountain pens.
Thanks for sharing this Gihan 🙏🏼
Bp refills are so dependent on the manufacturer and also whether .05 or .07 and there are even broads available. Comment?
Definitely fountain pens are best overall. Rollerball ok when writing brief notes or when fountain pen really inconvenient, e.g. out of doors, working in environments where a better pen risks being lost or stolen. Biro doesn't make the grade - AT ALL! It is so uncomfortable to write more than a few words with that I would never bring one out at all. Pencil is better than biro and has the advantage of being easy to erase. That's my two penn'orth.
Thanks for sharing all of that Laura. Very interesting!
This guy is an expert.
Thank you ❤️
Currently have 9 Fountain Pens and 7 Rollerballs. Both have positives and negatives, hard to say one or the other but I can tell you I don't like Ballpoints 🤣 I do like these videos though because there are use cases for all. What is probably worth mentioning though is no matter the pen the writing experience will always be dictated by the $10 refill with Rollers whereas each nib has its own personality...
I wouldn’t necessarily say so , cause the balance, weight and size of the pen really can deliver a complete other tactile feeling to the writing even if the Refill is the same. We’ve had this plenty of times with customers at the store.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and opinion! 🙏🏼
@@SamuelNaldi Absolutely! I probably would put all that into more of a “usability” category personally but agree that size, weight, grip section, balance, texture and material are all major factors in a personality of a pen. However, I do think it is something worth mentioning. Rollerballs still have variety like needle points, fine liners, ceramic tip (that gives feedback) but can’t compete with nib and feed options. Even my favourite Tombow ceramic refills with super dark pigment ink don't even come close to a nib and feed. I love Rollerballs but it is a big weakness, and one even more so for Ballpoint pens where the only two refills I personally enjoy are the Monami FX4000 and Caran d’Ache Goliath’s (both Parker G2 style). It’s a good conversation and I am glad you are opening it up, the majority of us “pen” folk are too easy to dismiss any mode that is not Fountain Pen…
@@drobertsphoto absolutely and you are right that many people don’t know or don’t realize the fact that the Refill is the same almost for every Ballpoint or Rollerball.
What is the name of the pen @ 1:43
Graf von Faber-Castell Guilloche Black Edition
@@SamuelNaldi Thank you.
Ballpoint pen ❤
Thanks for letting us know! 🙏🏼
Definitely Rollerball pen!
I didn't imagine that i had to many Rollerball and Ballpoint Subscribers. It shows that the subscribers of this Channel really are the type of people i want to have on here. Glad to know!
Fountain pen or pencil. No reason for the others to exist.
Hahaha thanks for sharing your opinion Dear
1 reason - so everyone at work doesn't think you're a complete and utter c#$&
Ballpoint !!!
Ha thanks for sharing this. Interesting!
I know ballpoints are not that preferred, but I have ocd and do not want ink stains on my hands, plus if you use a broad tip size with hybrid refills like easyflow they are as smooth as a rollerball if not smoother, plus have a pen with little heft so that you dont have to push too hard on the paper, this setup any day over fountain and rollerballs @@SamuelNaldi
