TOP 3 pens you'll need in 2023! (And a Pen Case made from Flour Bags) 

Years ago, I lend someone in the bank line my Waterman fountain pen. She destroyed the nib just in signing the withdrawal slip. Never again will I lend any of my fountain pens to a stranger.

That case... a thing of beauty!

The Pilot Petit1 is a fun pocket pen that can be turned into an eye dropper pen. For pure luxury I love an old Parker 51. I’ve used Fine to Bold and they are like writing with butter. I’d never hand one of them to someone at work 😊. Just found you today and trying not to binge. You have a nice, easy speaking voice and you make me think! Best on your videos & most importantly best in your life.

I love your paper pen case, so I'm going to make one for myself tomorrow. I will have to use chicken feed sacks instead of flour. Thanks for the great idea and good luck with your new channel, I just subscribed and look forward to the next video 👍

3:25 ...A Gel pen, Rollerball, Ballpoint, Fountain pen and pencil all fall under SCRIBING TOOLS..LOL I really like your DIY Fountain Pen Case...it may not be very fashionable , but it sure is Functional. Well done

I very much enjoyed seeing the frugal pen case. I make wooden pen and pencil cases from scraps and off-cuts, but the idea of a case or roll made from paper or material really appeals to me. Thanks for the thought!

This is a great list! One that I always carry in my purse/ bag is my Lamy 2000 rollerball pen. I find that also carrying around a basic “shit” pen is helpful for lending out should someone else need a pen. I learned my lesson when my husband accidentally ruined one of my nibs writing with it. Luckily the nib was easily, and cheaply, replaceable.

I used two layers of a fast food restaurant paper bag and made a pen case after seeing this vid, pausing to understand the design. It is indeed so crunchy and it makes me want to open it several times a day. What a fun project. Thanks for the inspo ✒️

My current daily pen is a Lamy Pico. My dad got one first for his everyday notetaking and I loved the design. It writes really well. I tried a Space Pen (due to the hype) but I honestly hated it: it didn't write smoothly at all. I also have a couple of Hightide Penco bullet pens which are great too.

Put a Uni Jetstream refill in that Kaweco pen. You won’t be disappointed.

I love the flour bag pen case! Great video too.

For another pencil variant, I suggest a lead holder, also called a clutch pencil. The Koh-i-Noor 5608 is tiny, and couples very well with my Kaweco Copper Liliput fountain pen.

Hi friends😊. In the future, I would like to purchase such a pen for myself. When you write with such a pen, the handwriting of a person will turn out even cooler.✍✍👍👍👍👍

I just liked listening to you talk about your thoughts and ideas xD here's also a like a comment and sub for the algorithm. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've never really had a reason to be out and needing a pocket, but I have a tiny kaweco but i like using colors, so it wouldn't be completely useful for me to write on my skin haha, so I'll definitely need a black ink in a pocket pen. I also think I'd never use any thing outside a kaweco as a pocket pen since they're made of plastic that I'd be OK with it being ruined. As for EDC pens, I would definitely want to carry 3-4 pens in a nice comfy but protective roll like yours or a case inside another bag. Gotta protect those pens!

Good selections, i definitely agree on the pocket pen and regular pen. I tend not to use pencils too much, but to each their own! I would also recommend checking out the Pokka Pens and Liliput fountain pens as an alternative pocket option. If you like brass pens, I would also suggest checking out the Machine Era Classic brass pen. Fits a Pilot G2 or Pentel Energel refill, which are excellent writers and fits somewhere between a pocket and more full sized pen.

That was great! I came to see your video after @cobwebsandcatnip suggested you. I bought my pen case but I ended up making the insert because I couldn’t find anything suitable. It’s fun and rewarding making your own things. I love my TWSBI 580. I also have a Kaweco but wouldn’t say it’s my favourite. I was going through your list and I have many of the suggestions but never thought to put them together as my EDC. I’ve seen a multipen I’d like to buy and it includes a mechanical pencil. You’ve just convinced me to buy it lol

as far as mechanical pencil goes - most are too accustomed to the default 0.5mm but mechanical pencil can be had with as slim as 0.2mm but also common are 0.3mm , 0.7mm , 0.9mm where the latter write perfectly align as a standard wooden pencil do ( pending you put in the proper grade of graphite ) and while it may be harder to find there are 1.3mm , 2.0mm , 2.5mm , 3.0mm , 4.0mm mechanical pencil , usually found in Art Supply instead of stationary store , my EDC pen case had 3/4 pocket and I routinely put in it a fountain pen, a mechanical pencil ( usually 0.9mm ) , a Gel pen and a Oil based / hybrid ink Ballpoint

Nice and relatable video 👍

Would love to see a video of you making the pen case ❤

I’ve got a Muji fountain pen too. Fantastic value for the price. The slim profile suits attaching to a notebook too. I’m fearful of keeping it in my pocket though in case it leaks(unlikely but always on my mind and I’ve had disasters with pocket fountain pens in the past)

hehe you stick with the BlackWing Natural. I got a set, looking forward to trying it tomorrow.

Seems like a new chanel . Keep up

I love your handmade recycled pen case 🤗 Do you write with any other ink color besides black ?

I can see a side channel of ASMR videos in your future, using your flour bag pen case! 😆 love it!

Either you've been very lucky, or a lot of people who send me pens to repair are very, very unlucky. Leaving regular ink in a pen for too long can totally clog up the feed. Worse, mold can get in and make a huge mess. Carbon black is even worse. I know many inks contain a biocide, but I also know that I see mold growing in pens on a regular basis, and I see nibs clogged with old ink on a regular basis. Pens should be cleaned at LEAST every two months, and every month is what almost ever expert recommends. Some say every two weeks. I don't put pens in my pocket, ever. Not my pants pocket, not my shirt pocket, and not in my jacket pocket. I never have. If I did, I'd make sure they were in a pen case. I carry an EDC bag with everything I need in it. Notebook, pens, pencils, and usually a pocket watercolor set and a pocket graphite art set with a few sheets of paper for each. It's nice to make things, it really is, but I'll stick to what I can buy I do carry a couple of cheap gel pens, but I also carry a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age, a Scribo Feel, a Kaweco Brass Sport with a gold nib, and two or three or four other pens that I rotate. One of these is usually a TWSBI ECHO. I prefer the 580ALR, but the ECO ia an excellent pen, and cheap enough to give away should I find a chance to bring a newbie into the fold. I'm not fond of Blackwing pencils because of that silly eraser. It means the pencil won't fit in a pencil extender, so I want no part of it. I carry that small graphite art set with several woodcase pencils, and I carry a Pentel Orenz with 4B lead. The Orenz costs almost nothing, seven or eight dollars, I think, and it has an auto extend feature that can't be beat. Click once when you put in a new stick of lead, and you don't have to click again until the entire stick of lead is gone. And because no lead extends past the lead sleeve, lead never breaks, even when I use a 0.2mm pencil. I don't carry, or even own, a felt tip pen. I don't like them, and never found a good use for them. They bleed right through every type of paper I have. I hate that.

For the algo 👍

Parker Jotter Ballpoint is the better option
