I love that Stephanie is able to comfortably talk about products that Jetpens doesn't carry, like Rickshaw Bagworks. Truly stellar. And also, compulsively watchable.
I blame JetPens for my new fascination with fountain pens but dammit I appreciate it because I didn't realize how many gorgeous pens and inks there are
@@LittlePrairieLibrary actually fountain pens save me money since a $17 bottle of ink lasts me longer than the dozens of cheap ballpoint or rollerball pens which inevitably get lost or disappear.
Okay, I need a playlist of all Stephanie's JetPen videos because she made me laugh too many times to count. Fountain pens & Humor. This is what I live for. No, I don't post except for Kaweco Sports because my hands are petite and most posted pens are too heavy. And I currently have 8 pens inked up, half of those are Kaweco Sports.
When you post the Sport, the clip has to be aligned with the nib or the pen will detonate after 60 seconds. Safety feature to keep from using it wrong, see.
I more recently stopped posting all but my pocket sized pens. I have a fear that unless there's a metal band at the bottom of it, it'll contribute to the cap cracking in time. I have no idea if that's an unwarranted fear, but I'm sticking with it.
First, I want to say that nothing brings me as much joy as watching someone who truly loves a thing full on nerd out about it. Thank you Stephanie! Second, I just clicked on the holy grail pen and my first response was holy sh*t!. No judging here. I am new to the fountain pen life and had no clue about pricing. This was a great video!
Make sure to give this video a like if you want to see more of Stephanie's Hobonichi Techo! April Start Planners are available now so shop them here: to.jetpens.com/3N0FewY
Yes to posting, I can’t risk losing the cap so I’ve gotten used to each of my pens backweighted and it feels OFF if it isn’t backweighted now! Pen boxes keep my ink sample vials and cartridges and like Stephanie all the other accessories and maintenance gear. 5 pens inked at a time but the one major workhorse (Pilot 78G+ in Capri Blue). Desert island pen is TWSBI Eco for the ink capacityyyyy
I literally just opened my order from Jet Pens! I ordered two bottles of Sailor Manyo ink, along with some other items. And I was sad that i didn’t also buy another fountain pen to add to my collection. This video has made me realize I need more than one pen to add to my collection! I’m about to place another order!
I got a JetPens order on Friday. No fountain pens but got some beautiful inks and I wanted to try their brand new 0.5 mm Pilot Juice Up Gel Pen in Classic Glossy Blue. This pen is UNBELIEVABLE in how smooth it write and extra bonus, the ink has a hint of sparkle in it! Not heavy like a glitter pen, it just has a hint of a metallic shimmer. I cannot believe how much I've used this pen since it arrived on Friday! I wanted to check the refill but I couldn't open it, maybe it's not refillable, which will make me very sad, but I'll buy more of these pens! I got refills for my kokuyo tri-fold notebook cover, it comes with a refillable A5 kokuyo twin ring edge title notebook, I added a Rhodia Ice White A5 tablet. I got a Rose Gold pocket clip for my Kaweco Macchiatto (sp) fountain pen, and finally bought a Uni Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil - Pipe Slide -Castle in the Air variant. It takes a little training it is different from the Pentel mechanical pencils I used at work, but my work ones were filled with a yellowish plastic lead for drawing designs on coated mylar. I preferred Rapidiograph pens on vellum but whatever the client wants. Now, I rarely use pencils at work due to CAD. I miss the old days. As usual I loved everything from jetpens!
I forgot to tell the ink I bought! It's Dominant Industry Tanzanite Ink - Pearl Series - 25 ml Bottle. It's gorgeous and acts like J Herbin 1640 series inks. Different colors & shimmers depending on the paper! This ink comes in a usual bottle and single use pipet inside of a cloth bag.
This is my favorite JetPens video of all! What a personality Stephanie has! And I’m as addicted to fountain pens as she is. I actually have the TWSBI vac Iris pen she said she wanted next, and it is my Grail pen. I love it so much! More videos about fountain pens with Stephanie, please!
Stephanie, you are hilarious! I’ve never heard anyone speak about fountain pens the way I talk about fountain pens! I adore you! I wish we were friends… that’s the vibe I get from you 🎨✒️🖋❤️🔥
Yes, this video was worth the wait! I could easily watch hours of Stephanie staring at her pens. I'm lucky enough to have the TWSBI Iris with 1.1 stub and it's GLORIOUS.
It is so great you noticed the heart breather hole, Stephanie! I miss my friend from Seattle that introduced me to Platinums. You are entertaining and definitely need to be in an Off-Off-Off Broadway Play 🙏
I've only been collecting fountain pens for *maybe* a year, and I just got my sixth this week lol. I don't post either with the exception of the Kaweco Sport. It's so petite without the cap, I find the extra weight makes it more comfortable than without. My favorite in my collection is the Pilot Falcon, it's a dream. My first pen was the Lamy Safari, which is such an amazingly versatile pen. I have a Vanishing Point as well, and I find it had the longest adjustment period of any other pen I've used so far. It's heavy!
I love your enthusiasm for the pens and inks! I just got in the Kaweco iridescent Pearl with a broad nib and I've got it inked with sailor manyo haha. It looks great in my hobo. I've got the Omni flex nib on my Monteverde rainbow limited edition 25th(?) anniversary pen. The nib looks great, but honestly doesn't feel that flexible at all to me. Right now I've got a lamy safari inked up along with the Monteverde and the Kaweco fitting perfectly in my rickshaw case. Great video!
Ugh... I'm terrible. I have 18 pens currently inked and in use right now. LOL!! I use multiple colors daily so it's just handy. I'm hooked on fountain pens!
Have 3 pens inked, but that will be changing soon! Have 6 pens coming from a friend online, she gave me a great deal on them. all Twsbis including an Iris vac700r. And yes all will be inked. I recently got a Opus88 Flora and its just beautiful! Its shaped like a vase! Too cool. Also have my first Visconti Rembrandt in Pink! And a huge order from Rickshaw bags arriving soon ❤️❤️ most items pink! I do also have a a noodlers Ahab flex in pink tiger. I cant wait to get everything organized and ready to write and journal! I also love just looking at the pens and writing with them is amazing. So many beautiful inks. And I also have a hobinochi techno cousin, with animalC cover, glue stick and cutest scissors coming from Jetpens!!!
Hello Stephanie! My desert island pen is my 1986 slim-line black tungsten Mont Blanc with a fine nib - it still writes great after all these decades! I use the boxes to keep cartridges, converter and spare nib sections. I don't post pens, I don't want to damage the barrel but my pens have enough weight already. The other pen I use most is a 2020 Cross Bailey with a lovely burgandy finish over metal, and it's personalised - just a beautiful everyday pen. Your video is fascinating and very funny!
I was just watching the video and I loved why I was like: o she's just like me! and that's a lot of fun to find someone who you can relate to in that way because they stare at the ink in the converter or how he treats her pens. it's super nice to watch the videos
Stephanie's videos are amazing: informative, funny, and never insipid. I mean ... she's discussing her personal pens as friends, and I am transfixed. I love her ebullient personality. I don't collect pens, although I have bought hundreds. I started with Parker. Then, when I began earning money, I bought Montblancs, but they are more prestige jewelry than pens (crappy nibs and seals). After 50 years, I use only three TWSBI Diamond 580s I keep in my case, and three Diamond Minis I carry in my shirt pocket. I love the Iroshizuku and Sailor inks, and, of course, Jet Pens.
Best. Video. Ever. I love everything about it. More Stephanie and more fountain pens, please. I’m a non-poster. I hold the cap in my other hand while I’m writing.
Fantastic Stephanie, loved your vid, made me laugh....and get my boxes of fountain pens out. How many FPs do I have? 41. My Holy Grail? TWSBI Diamond 580 Black and Rose Gold EF. My Desert Island pen? Kaweco Lilliput in Black enamel F. This pen never fails me, it writes perfectly every time and because I use it all the time I only clean it when I change ink or the cartridge. First fountain pen I ever owned? Platignum Tortoise Shell (with the little lever on the side to refill ink and the rubber bladder inside) - I'm old, and this was the 60s...I was in primary school. My next favourite is TWSBI Eco White and Rose Gold.....Eco pens are second to none. My least favourite pen? Pilot Vanishing Point in Champagne. This pen has never written so much as a single word without crapping out. I bought it Duty Free at Manchester Airport on my way back to Australia a few years ago, so by the time I found out it wasn't worth the GBP 292 I paid for it, I was back home and couldn't return or exchange it. Most Expensive? Scriveiner Deep Crimson Red FP. The number I have currently inked up? 7 - I always keep 7 of my faves inked at all times. 🌼🌺
My favorite pen is the Pilot Vaniahing Point in white and black with a medium nib. I pair it with my favorite ink, Jacques Herbin in Émeraude de Chivor. It gives me goosebumps thinking of how much I love the combo. When I use a pen with a cap, I set the cap on the table too. I'm definitely going to have to get a couple pens and inks you've shown just now. I have fun watching all of your videos. I feel like a happy kid with a new toy because of all of you. Thank you! ❤️ Edit: my next pen is either going to have to be your Grail pen, I agree in it's beauty. I've wanted it as well, and a more affordable pen would be a TWSBI demonstrator pen. Since my favorite color is rainbow, yes, I have been dreaming of the one you showed as well. To date, if we're just talking fountain pens, I have six. If all pens, I collect reusable disposable pens, so like, 40? Again, thank you!
I have nine pens inked up right now, which is totally unmanagable! But then again, I have a similar job where I take two pens in to work every day. I started with Lamys, a Waldmann, one Conklin Duraflex (which is a hard flex), and my next investment will either be a Pelikan or my first Pilot. Wide variety of inks in my collect - currently road testing some samples of Sailor Shikori and the ink lab collection.
THE MOMENT I SAW THE RADEN GALAXY As a Pilot fan, I just. I will never own that gorgeous thing but I *definitely* have stared at it! Lucky! I personally still happily run a pink Prera everywhere because pretty, balanced, demonstrator... and when I inevitably crack it I have backups because they're low cost. Great for daily carry and as a starter both.
Omg Stephanie loves Haikyuu too! And heart-shaped breather holes ❤️ And Bouquet D’antan! I got a $60 JetPens gift certificate last Christmas and I was over the moon. My forever fountain pen is a Pilot Kakuno and I do post. Love the video, thank you JetPens and Stephanie
Yes fountain pens!! i just recently got into it, so far i have a Blue Pilot Kakuno inked with Diamine pelham blue and a Lamy Safary with Diamine Ancient copper. Once you get one fountain pen, there is no coming back!
This was such a fun video to watch!! I actually just bought my first fountain pen yesterday, an Eco-T in mint blue, so I’m even more excited for it to arrive now!
You're naturally entertaining and your videos are always fun to watch! 🤣 I have some nice fountain pens and I try to remind myself that I don't need any more but I've been eyeing the Pilot Raden for awhile. That's definitely a holy grail pen. Thanks for another great video.
Stephanie… thanks for your videos. It would be impossible to watch without catching some of your genuine joy in fountain pens! 24 pens inked at pretty much all times.
I have 5 currently inked - I post if the pen is light or short, like the Kaweco Sport. My heavy Waterman isn't as comfortable posted. My next pen is probably the TWSBI Eco-T fine nib, but I'm also in love with the Monteberde Invincia Flex. My Holy Grail pen right now is the Lamy Dialog 3 Fine Nib.
I have 11 pens inked currently, I post on some pens, but not others. My Conklin Endura Abalone DOES NOT get posted. Yes, I have all of the Conklin nib units. I currently have the Conklin fine nib unit in there and have it inked up with a slightly diluted Organic Studios Henry David Thoreau Walden Pond Blue. I also have the Pilot Vanishing Point as my grail pen, but Raden Water Surface. My next pen will probably be the Kaweco Iridescent Pearl in Fine if I can find one, but the TWSBI Vac700R in Iris is ALSO on my list.
Still my favorite fountain pen video of all time. Stephanie needs to do some currently inked videos. I'm intrigued by the peek at the currently inked in her journal.
I had never used a fountain pen in my 35 years until about 6 months ago and now I use them for just about everything. Now I'm up to about 10 pens and probably 12 or so bottles of ink. Most of them came from JetPens. Thank you JetPens for facilitating my new pen addiction!
Yes I do post, unless it feels too heavy in my hand. Back in the days (who's turning 40 this year ? 🙋🏼♀️) We learned to write with a fountain pen in school around age 8 (in France), and the teacher would usually made you post as to not loose your cap. Currently inked : 4 Absolute favorite : Kaweco Collection Vibrant Violet with Kaweco Pearl Black Currently manifesting for : Kaweco Liliput or (Supra??? Or booooooth) Fireblue 😍😍😍
I can listen to Stephanie’s voice all day it’s so soothing and love your personality 🥰. I have been wanting to get and use a fountain pen but I’m sooo nervous 😟 the last time I used a fountain was in elementary school for learning calligraphy and dropped the ink bottle on my white desk my parents almost killed me and since then never used a fountain pen. Now I’ve started journaling and want to try a fountain pen but that childhood fear keeps me from doing so. P.s can’t wait to see your outtakes and kpop responses 😂
I run a pair of metros, a fine and CM with the fine color matched black and CM color matched to some J. Herbin calanque blue. Fountain pens are my tools for doing storyboard drawings and stuff. For inking I have either a set of Speedball B nibs and holder (don't put Speedball nibs in the Tachikawa ones) or a Tachikawa T-40 with a G and mapping nib. For inking I either run waterproof India or Pilot Drafting ink and I never mix my nibs because India ink leaves crusty stuff and Pilot will not.
Im going to save up for the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori in the summer rain color as my grail pen it literally looks so amazing and i love the gold accents and everything im obsessed
So jealous of that Raden Vanishing Point - that is one of my grail pens for sure. Just beautiful. And I share your love of the Monteverde Invincia Nebula! I snatched up one with the Omniflex nib, and it is now one of my top 3 pens.
I'm into fountain pens too and I LOVE Rickshaw bags. I have several 😅. I also have three Platinum 3776 Century's. I do not post my pens, either! Unless they're cheap plastic ones like a Kakuno or Preppy. Or else they get too heavy! I have about 47 pens inked. Yeah. My next pen will be a custom one from a pen turner hopefully :) ETA: I have that exact same Starry Night bag too!
Ugh I wish you posted this a couple days ago when I placed my jetpens order! LOL I bought a TWSBI clear, but now I think I want a Pilot vanishing point. So far I have 2 Kawecos and a beginner Pilot. Love all of them!
I have about 10 pens inked right now. I've been trying to focus on using one at a time so I can use up the ink and get back to a reasonable number. I have a problem. 🖋 your collection is beautiful!
💙 this video, thank you for sharing your pens, Stephanie! Love the hi lo mix of your selections, from a posh Platinum 3776 to a much-loved taped up Preppy. I don't typically post my pens either, combo of smaller hands + not liking the back-weighting. Also not a fully "matchy matchy" ink to pen person, though I like to swap out inks seasonally. Oh the boxes ... Collector confession, I keep all the packaging. Too much antiques roadshow? 😂 I counted my currently inked pens and there are six, but on average it ranges somewhere from between 6 and 12. Like you I use them daily: journaling, note taking, correspondence, etc. Desert island pen is a tough question. The last time I had a long traveling holiday (pre-pandemic, sigh) I surprised myself by choosing to bring a Sailor Procolor 500 Shikisai (aka Shikiori Hisakata) and really loved it. So, maybe that one? My current Grail pen / white whale is a Montblanc Bohème but wowza, your Pilot capless w/ the raden finish is 😍. P.S. don't even get me started on Noodler's pens. Only pen I've ever gladly given away. 😜
Post: Almost always Desert Island Pen: My Pilot Custom 823 What I do with my “Pen Caskets”: A large “Graveyard Drawer” has been made. Inked Up: 15 (10 on “rotation” and 5 “special use”) Next Pen: Sailor Pro Gear Stellar Black Hole in . (technically already on order.) 😁
2 currently. I have the Black TWSBI Vac700R ( I get distracted by the ink inside too XD) filled with Noodler's Georgia Peach and the Champagne Pilot Decimo ( the thinner version) filled with Noodler's Apache Sunset. ( I love noodler's ink) I have a few other pens but I change it up depending on my mood.
Grail pen, which I'm also fortunate enough to own, is the Lamy Lady Rosenthal fountain pen. It has a 14k gold nib which is super smooth. The barrel is made from very high grade Rosenthal porcelain, the black, white and gold version. I run it with my favourite ink, Diamine, Ancient Copper.
We have such similiar pen tastes! I do not post. I have a VP matte black fine. Same grail pen but I do not own one. I have a Noodler's flex demonstrator, a limited edition TWSBI Eco fine but in transparent purple. AND the last pen I bought was the TWSBI Vac 700R in Iris!!!
This is great! Okay, I do post, I save the boxes, and I think my desert island pen is my Pilot M90. Maybe Lamy ALs - those are the ones I take to conferences where I have to take notes. And I ordered the Monteverde Invincia Stealth Black because it's so pretty! Thanks Stephanie!
Love your fountain pen share! I have a substantial collection of fountain pens. While not a fountain pen, I love the Pentel tradio because it write similarly, doesn’t leak and easy refills (nothing like trying to go to a meeting where you want to take notes, need to refill your fountain pen and end up with stained fingers). I have multiple platinum preppy pens because it won’t break my heart if I lose them, plus the fun Pilot petites with coordinating ink cartridges. I try to keep only three or four pens filled, been known to leave them around the house or change purses and find lovely stains. I had a standing case that you no longer offer but it was too filled with pens to put in my purse. I switched to the pilot hi-tech-c coleto pens to satisfy my need for writing with different colored inks.
I have about 10 pens inked now and am definitely eying that galaxy (?) vanishing point!! I already have three vanishing point pens and was comfortable with keeping that number, but WOW…. That sparkle….
Bought a preppy fountain pen because of y'all 😅 still adjusting with how to write with it since it doesn't feel smooth for me (I put more force for some reason) and it strains my hand
This holy grail! It's really beautiful! I agree with the iris twsbi being amazing! I... Purchased it this morning, with a stub nib! It made me laugh to see you trying to manifest it! My favorite pen so far is the pilot falcon with the extra fine flexible nib 💕 i own two and want to purchase a third, i use them every day ❤️
Number of pens... literally hundreds. Number of fountain pens... Six. Five Pilot Metropolitans and one Montblanc Icons Marilyn Scarlet in Medium nib, with more fountain pens on the way. I've fallen back in love with fountain pens as I get older and my hands go numb with gels/rollerballs quicker than with fountains, but still enjoy my others. I write in a different color every day in my journal to differentiate between those days.
We carry Rickshaw Pen Cases now! to.jetpens.com/3Okv9O6
I love that Stephanie is able to comfortably talk about products that Jetpens doesn't carry, like Rickshaw Bagworks. Truly stellar. And also, compulsively watchable.
My Hubs loves Stephanie but not as much as he loves Antonia!
Um
yeah especially comparing to gouletpens who never talks about brands they don't carry.
Triple points that it's Rickshaw. Quality products that are made here and are quite customizable.
The fact that y'all let Stephanie feature products that JetPens doesn't carry just shows what a cool company JetPens is!
I blame JetPens for my new fascination with fountain pens but dammit I appreciate it because I didn't realize how many gorgeous pens and inks there are
Welcome to the rabbit hole!
I'm so sorry for your wallet.
@@LittlePrairieLibrary actually fountain pens save me money since a $17 bottle of ink lasts me longer than the dozens of cheap ballpoint or rollerball pens which inevitably get lost or disappear.
@@LittlePrairieLibrary A Pilot Metropolitan is already expensive in my country 🤣
I know my collection is now up to 5 pens
Let's be honest. We are all screeching for the mood queen of Jetpens, Stephanie.
Okay, I need a playlist of all Stephanie's JetPen videos because she made me laugh too many times to count. Fountain pens & Humor. This is what I live for.
No, I don't post except for Kaweco Sports because my hands are petite and most posted pens are too heavy. And I currently have 8 pens inked up, half of those are Kaweco Sports.

The TONE of this and really all jetpens videos is so good. It’s a perfect mixture of informative, cute, fun, etc. Love the longer videos!!
First, I want to say that nothing brings me as much joy as watching someone who truly loves a thing full on nerd out about it. Thank you Stephanie! Second, I just clicked on the holy grail pen and my first response was holy sh*t!. No judging here. I am new to the fountain pen life and had no clue about pricing. This was a great video!
Anytime you see the word "urushi" the price goes into the stratosphere, it's a crazy-long traditional craft process commands a huuuuge premium

I absolutely love your interesting ink choices. That was the star of the show for me. Please show us your non inked fountain pens too!
She’s too adorable. I was laughing so hard. Which we all need these days.
I literally just opened my order from Jet Pens! I ordered two bottles of Sailor Manyo ink, along with some other items. And I was sad that i didn’t also buy another fountain pen to add to my collection. This video has made me realize I need more than one pen to add to my collection! I’m about to place another order!
I got my order today which also had two Sailor Manyo bottles 😄🙌🏻

Always thrilled to see Stephanie!
Hello Stephanie! My desert island pen is my 1986 slim-line black tungsten Mont Blanc with a fine nib - it still writes great after all these decades! I use the boxes to keep cartridges, converter and spare nib sections. I don't post pens, I don't want to damage the barrel but my pens have enough weight already. The other pen I use most is a 2020 Cross Bailey with a lovely burgandy finish over metal, and it's personalised - just a beautiful everyday pen. Your video is fascinating and very funny!

I love the dragon design of your pencil bag!!
omg yeah, I want one for my Jinhaos, would be just perfecttttt
The Preppy is pretty amazing! I’ve got six of the 2019 100th Anniversary edition, all loaded up with different Iroshizuku inks.
You got me wanting the Vanishing Point-nice video! Love your realness and love for pens
Stephanie's videos are amazing: informative, funny, and never insipid. I mean ... she's discussing her personal pens as friends, and I am transfixed. I love her ebullient personality. I don't collect pens, although I have bought hundreds. I started with Parker.

It was very entertaining and educational. Please continue.

First fountain pen I ever owned? Platignum Tortoise Shell (with the little lever on the side to refill ink and the rubber bladder inside) - I'm old, and this was the 60s...I was in primary school. My next favourite is TWSBI Eco White and Rose Gold.....Eco pens are second to none. My least favourite pen? Pilot Vanishing Point in Champagne. This pen has never written so much as a single word without crapping out. I bought it Duty Free at Manchester Airport on my way back to Australia a few years ago, so by the time I found out it wasn't worth the GBP 292 I paid for it, I was back home and couldn't return or exchange it. Most Expensive? Scriveiner Deep Crimson Red FP. The number I have currently inked up? 7 - I always keep 7 of my faves inked at all times. 🌼🌺
I’ve gotten to 1:38 in the video and am already on the floor laughing. Stephanie, you are absolutely perfect for this! Love!! OK, back to watching.
My favorite pen is the Pilot Vaniahing Point in white and black with a medium nib. I pair it with my favorite ink, Jacques Herbin in Émeraude de Chivor. It gives me goosebumps thinking of how much I love the combo. When I use a pen with a cap, I set the cap on the table too. I'm definitely going to have to get a couple pens and inks you've shown just now. I have fun watching all of your videos. I feel like a happy kid with a new toy because of all of you. Thank you! ❤️
Edit: my next pen is either going to have to be your Grail pen, I agree in it's beauty. I've wanted it as well, and a more affordable pen would be a TWSBI demonstrator pen. Since my favorite color is rainbow, yes, I have been dreaming of the one you showed as well. To date, if we're just talking fountain pens, I have six. If all pens, I collect reusable disposable pens, so like, 40?
Again, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate the kind words 😊
I love to watch how people treat their stationery (pen) like a kid like I do. I just LOVE stationery. Love how Stephanie introduced them too.
I have nine pens inked up right now, which is totally unmanagable! But then again, I have a similar job where I take two pens in to work every day. I started with Lamys, a Waldmann, one Conklin Duraflex (which is a hard flex), and my next investment will either be a Pelikan or my first Pilot. Wide variety of inks in my collect - currently road testing some samples of Sailor Shikori and the ink lab collection.
THE MOMENT I SAW THE RADEN GALAXY
As a Pilot fan, I just. I will never own that gorgeous thing but I *definitely* have stared at it!
Lucky!
I personally still happily run a pink Prera everywhere because pretty, balanced, demonstrator... and when I inevitably crack it I have backups because they're low cost. Great for daily carry and as a starter both.
Stephanie, it is a pleasure to meet you via YT...you have an amazing personality...I've never owned a fountain pen but about to start a collection
Omg Stephanie loves Haikyuu too! And heart-shaped breather holes ❤️ And Bouquet D’antan! I got a $60 JetPens gift certificate last Christmas and I was over the moon. My forever fountain pen is a Pilot Kakuno and I do post. Love the video, thank you JetPens and Stephanie
I enjoy your attitude and style. Well done.
Yes fountain pens!! i just recently got into it, so far i have a Blue Pilot Kakuno inked with Diamine pelham blue and a Lamy Safary with Diamine Ancient copper. Once you get one fountain pen, there is no coming back!
Stephanie, pls do a follow up video on how you clean your fountain pens or how you do maintenance
Stephanie is soooo cool… I had fun watching this content
I have never given a single thought about any type of pens, but watching this video makes me want to start a new obsession, lol.
Stephanie is lovely and entertaining! Love watching her
Posting- yes! Always
Desert island -lamy al star
Pen boxes- i keep one sturdy one and it has ppextra cartridges, converters etcs. Very handy.
This was such a fun video to watch!! I actually just bought my first fountain pen yesterday, an Eco-T in mint blue, so I’m even more excited for it to arrive now!
You're naturally entertaining and your videos are always fun to watch! 🤣 I have some nice fountain pens and I try to remind myself that I don't need any more but I've been eyeing the Pilot Raden for awhile. That's definitely a holy grail pen. Thanks for another great video.
Stephanie… thanks for your videos. It would be impossible to watch without catching some of your genuine joy in fountain pens! 24 pens inked at pretty much all times.
I have 5 currently inked - I post if the pen is light or short, like the Kaweco Sport. My heavy Waterman isn't as comfortable posted. My next pen is probably the TWSBI Eco-T fine nib, but I'm also in love with the Monteberde Invincia Flex. My Holy Grail pen right now is the Lamy Dialog 3 Fine Nib.
Your sleeves are fine. lol And yes, that Grail pen is absolutely gorgeous.
I have 11 pens inked currently, I post on some pens, but not others. My Conklin Endura Abalone DOES NOT get posted. Yes, I have all of the Conklin nib units. I currently have the Conklin fine nib unit in there and have it inked up with a slightly diluted Organic Studios Henry David Thoreau Walden Pond Blue. I also have the Pilot Vanishing Point as my grail pen, but Raden Water Surface. My next pen will probably be the Kaweco Iridescent Pearl in Fine if I can find one, but the TWSBI Vac700R in Iris is ALSO on my list.
Still my favorite fountain pen video of all time. Stephanie needs to do some currently inked videos. I'm intrigued by the peek at the currently inked in her journal.
Hi. A cracked Preppy mended with tape? Now that's love.🥳 Cheers from Australia.
FINALLY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!
What great humor! I post & currently have 2 pens inked plain old blue run-of-the-mill blue. I’d love a (discontinued) waterman Edson sapphire blue.
Bring on the outtakes and q&a! I’ll just stay here and wait…and practice my fountain pen writing.
I had never used a fountain pen in my 35 years until about 6 months ago and now I use them for just about everything. Now I'm up to about 10 pens and probably 12 or so bottles of ink. Most of them came from JetPens. Thank you JetPens for facilitating my new pen addiction!
I love that you clearly share my love for fountain pens. No, I don't post and I keep four pens inked.
Yes I do post, unless it feels too heavy in my hand. Back in the days (who's turning 40 this year ? 🙋🏼♀️) We learned to write with a fountain pen in school around age 8 (in France), and the teacher would usually made you post as to not loose your cap.
Currently inked : 4
Absolute favorite : Kaweco Collection Vibrant Violet with Kaweco Pearl Black
Currently manifesting for : Kaweco Liliput or (Supra??? Or booooooth) Fireblue 😍😍😍
I can listen to Stephanie’s voice all day it’s so soothing and love your personality 🥰. I have been wanting to get and use a fountain pen but I’m sooo nervous 😟 the last time I used a fountain was in elementary school for learning calligraphy and dropped the ink bottle on my white desk my parents almost killed me and since then never used a fountain pen. Now I’ve started journaling and want to try a fountain pen but that childhood fear keeps me from doing so. P.s can’t wait to see your outtakes and kpop responses 😂
I run a pair of metros, a fine and CM with the fine color matched black and CM color matched to some J. Herbin calanque blue. Fountain pens are my tools for doing storyboard drawings and stuff. For inking I have either a set of Speedball B nibs and holder (don't put Speedball nibs in the Tachikawa ones) or a Tachikawa T-40 with a G and mapping nib. For inking I either run waterproof India or Pilot Drafting ink and I never mix my nibs because India ink leaves crusty stuff and Pilot will not.
This is my favourite JetPens video of all time ✨✨✨✨
Finally, a Kaweco Sport in the perfect size 🥰
"It doesn't know what it wants to be. And neither do I, so I relate." I love her videos!
Omg yes when the light hits the pen! I have that raden vanishing point and it is glorious!
"my children", I felt that!! 😆
Im going to save up for the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori in the summer rain color as my grail pen it literally looks so amazing and i love the gold accents and everything im obsessed
Is that the mint colored one with the purple accent? I've been eyeing that one for a bit now.
@@PetitePhillyLife its a turquoise pen, your talking about the spring rain. There is the other option called the summer rain
Stephanie is so great on camera! Love her❤
So jealous of that Raden Vanishing Point - that is one of my grail pens for sure. Just beautiful. And I share your love of the Monteverde Invincia Nebula! I snatched up one with the Omniflex nib, and it is now one of my top 3 pens.
I'm into fountain pens too and I LOVE Rickshaw bags. I have several 😅. I also have three Platinum 3776 Century's. I do not post my pens, either! Unless they're cheap plastic ones like a Kakuno or Preppy. Or else they get too heavy!
I have about 47 pens inked. Yeah. My next pen will be a custom one from a pen turner hopefully :)
ETA: I have that exact same Starry Night bag too!
Ugh I wish you posted this a couple days ago when I placed my jetpens order! LOL I bought a TWSBI clear, but now I think I want a Pilot vanishing point. So far I have 2 Kawecos and a beginner Pilot. Love all of them!
I have about 10 pens inked right now. I've been trying to focus on using one at a time so I can use up the ink and get back to a reasonable number. I have a problem. 🖋 your collection is beautiful!
OH MY GOODNESS! WALK THE DOG IS SUCH A SWOONEY COLOR!! 😍
💙 this video, thank you for sharing your pens, Stephanie! Love the hi lo mix of your selections, from a posh Platinum 3776 to a much-loved taped up Preppy. I don't typically post my pens either, combo of smaller hands + not liking the back-weighting. Also not a fully "matchy matchy" ink to pen person, though I like to swap out inks seasonally. Oh the boxes ... Collector confession, I keep all the packaging. Too much antiques roadshow? 😂 I counted my currently inked pens and there are six, but on average it ranges somewhere from between 6 and 12. Like you I use them daily: journaling, note taking, correspondence, etc. Desert island pen is a tough question. The last time I had a long traveling holiday (pre-pandemic, sigh) I surprised myself by choosing to bring a Sailor Procolor 500 Shikisai (aka Shikiori Hisakata) and really loved it. So, maybe that one? My current Grail pen / white whale is a Montblanc Bohème but wowza, your Pilot capless w/ the raden finish is 😍. P.S. don't even get me started on Noodler's pens. Only pen I've ever gladly given away. 😜
Post: Almost always
Desert Island Pen: My Pilot Custom 823
What I do with my “Pen Caskets”: A large “Graveyard Drawer” has been made.
Inked Up: 15 (10 on “rotation” and 5 “special use”)
Next Pen: Sailor Pro Gear Stellar Black Hole in . (technically already on order.) 😁
2 currently. I have the Black TWSBI Vac700R ( I get distracted by the ink inside too XD) filled with Noodler's Georgia Peach and the Champagne Pilot Decimo ( the thinner version) filled with Noodler's Apache Sunset. ( I love noodler's ink)
I have a few other pens but I change it up depending on my mood.
I don't use pointy pens so far, but i finished watching the video, well made video and nice ink/pens! Will rewatch if I decide to use pointy pens!
Grail pen, which I'm also fortunate enough to own, is the Lamy Lady Rosenthal fountain pen. It has a 14k gold nib which is super smooth. The barrel is made from very high grade Rosenthal porcelain, the black, white and gold version. I run it with my favourite ink, Diamine, Ancient Copper.
She’s so funny! Great video!
We have such similiar pen tastes! I do not post. I have a VP matte black fine. Same grail pen but I do not own one. I have a Noodler's flex demonstrator, a limited edition TWSBI Eco fine but in transparent purple. AND the last pen I bought was the TWSBI Vac 700R in Iris!!!
This is great! Okay, I do post, I save the boxes, and I think my desert island pen is my Pilot M90. Maybe Lamy ALs - those are the ones I take to conferences where I have to take notes.
And I ordered the Monteverde Invincia Stealth Black because it's so pretty! Thanks Stephanie!
I love adding vintage nibs to modern pens.
Love your fountain pen share! I have a substantial collection of fountain pens. While not a fountain pen, I love the Pentel tradio because it write similarly, doesn’t leak and easy refills (nothing like trying to go to a meeting where you want to take notes, need to refill your fountain pen and end up with stained fingers). I have multiple platinum preppy pens because it won’t break my heart if I lose them, plus the fun Pilot petites with coordinating ink cartridges. I try to keep only three or four pens filled, been known to leave them around the house or change purses and find lovely stains. I had a standing case that you no longer offer but it was too filled with pens to put in my purse. I switched to the pilot hi-tech-c coleto pens to satisfy my need for writing with different colored inks.
I was looking for the first shown pen! 😅
I have about 10 pens inked now and am definitely eying that galaxy (?) vanishing point!! I already have three vanishing point pens and was comfortable with keeping that number, but WOW…. That sparkle….
Bought a preppy fountain pen because of y'all 😅 still adjusting with how to write with it since it doesn't feel smooth for me (I put more force for some reason) and it strains my hand
Do not put a lot of pressure when writing with fountain pens. You will break the nib
I LOVE STEPHANIE
This holy grail! It's really beautiful!
I agree with the iris twsbi being amazing! I... Purchased it this morning, with a stub nib! It made me laugh to see you trying to manifest it!
My favorite pen so far is the pilot falcon with the extra fine flexible nib 💕 i own two and want to purchase a third, i use them every day ❤️
Number of pens... literally hundreds. Number of fountain pens... Six. Five Pilot Metropolitans and one Montblanc Icons Marilyn Scarlet in Medium nib, with more fountain pens on the way. I've fallen back in love with fountain pens as I get older and my hands go numb with gels/rollerballs quicker than with fountains, but still enjoy my others. I write in a different color every day in my journal to differentiate between those days.
Platinum preppy is the one for me as well which started it all
