So, what’s your favorite?

@hendrikmoons8218 4 месяца назад

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!

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!

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.

I work in aviation, travel a lot and needed an action-ready pen. I didn't want to go throw the hassel of unscrewing the cap ever time I write and didn't want to deal with ink leaks. I just wanted a nice daily pen. This is the reason I went for the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Solitaire Blue Hour ballpoint pen. Best decision ever. I also like the thinner profile of Mont Blanc ballpoint pens as well as the longer body when writing.

@MsObsidianReloaded Месяц назад

@vishalahmad-ck6cu better quality pen or use one with a finer line width of 0.5mm and smaller. Also, paper quality is important. I like Japanese notebooks and paper like Kukoyu, Midori etc. Also, believe it or not, Temu has some good quality notebooks and paper. The made in China products aren't that bad.

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.

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!

In my career field I often have to share my pens with people. So roller or ballpoint. Less messy and lower maintenance aswell. But the pen must be high quality. Unfortunately its difficult to find ink that has a "fingerprint" forget what its called.

@chi-towncalifornia5916 5 месяцев назад

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.

@ivanburt8431 4 месяца назад

Bp refills are so dependent on the manufacturer and also whether .05 or .07 and there are even broads available. Comment?

@Mech_Tzeentcha 3 месяца назад

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?

@pilotavery Месяц назад

Right on a smooth glass surface or a smooth table not a rough one and get nice quality paper

@gihanzohdy3284 5 месяцев назад

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.

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.

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...

@SamuelNaldi 5 месяцев назад

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! 🙏🏼

@drobertsphoto 5 месяцев назад

@@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…

@SamuelNaldi 5 месяцев назад

@@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.
