Thank you for this video. I also purchased this very same pen (actually - I bought two with a <F> nib) - and set them aside. It is a gift for me and my son once he graduates high school - which isn't for another two years. So, I haven't inked it up and was curious how it wrote. Lovely. And the ink choice - so very beautiful.
This review made me buy the Platinum 3776 Century M. The end of this video brings me more joy than the pen itself. 🤣
Good to hear that your boy's finger is healing. Also, was surprised about the Scribo news.
Watching. Glad letter arrived. I've pretty much completed writing 30 letters this month.
That cat tape is super cute! Hope you manage to find some time for yourself.
Love to Watch your snippets ❤ would you share a link for the tape you ordered … is it pronounced Pala Tape?
It is washi tape and the artist is called Pion. I have linked it here from niconeco: www.niconeco.com/collections/pion/products/pion-floral-cloth-kiss-cut-washi-tape
@@seemownay Thank you so much 🙏 I found it 🥰
As a previous dog trainer, make sure you don’t cater to the dog to the point where he gets separation anxiety. It’s OK to leave him for a while now and it’s actually good for him to know that you can leave and come back. Human beings are the ones who set up this problem.😊
BTW: Thank you for the sticker(s). I always find your book recommendations interesting, partly because they are usually books that I would never consider myself.
It's so nice to do a bit of chores around the house with your chatting to keep me company 😊 I may need to get that cat PET tape as well, I've been wanting it for a while so maybe this is a sign, hehe. I resonate a lot with what you said about getting irritated when you have no time to yourself. I have that too. I just need some time to just play with my pens, stickers, write a little here and there - just to ground myself again and feel like myself really. Hope you have a good week!
I have such an emotional atachment with my GO saphir. It was my first ever fountain pen! I took it in EF, sinced all the ballpoints I used up to this point were all gigantic. I carried that thing everywhere and I do mean it! And... Gosh did it take some abuse! I accidentally slammed the tipping material on a table once and I think I permanently messed up either the tine alignment or just the whole iridium tip! It has been scratchy as hell since then but... ...I kinda want to fix it up and keep it around. Does spending money on repairs for this thing nancially irresponsible? Ye. Will I do it anyway? Ye. It's a good writer when in good condition, and again, there'as the emotional atachment hehe... Aside from that, it's a pretty resilient workhorse! The thin body that we both thought would shatter like a Preppy is still intact on mine, and aside from needing lube it has zero issues filling. I also love the fact that, although less easily than an Eco, that it's still possible to disassemble it and self-service it like any other TWSBI pen! The metal part that gudes the pston can be unscrewed as well as the push button that retains the spring. And voilà! You have access to the ink chamber! The nib and feed are frinction fit like an Eco, so you can pull them out too! I've had it for more than 2 years now and it sits happily next to my Progear King of Pens in my pen case! Reminds me of where I started! When I'll get this nib up^in shape, I'll happily start using it again like I used to!
Those last two Sailors are real winners.
Yessss! Apatite is gorgeous and wet in that pen. #teamtealandturquoise
Yes, they are. So good!
Oof that Yoza Kura ink looks so dry compared to the others. Thanks for sharing! I will be curious where you end up with bottles at the end of all your testing.
I'm curious too.
I personally find that Sailor’s music nibs are not the best. And they also have only 1 slit instead of the 2 that differentiates a music nib. I definitely prefer the Platinum ones over Sailor’s. Having said that, I still have fun with my Sailor MS nibs; it just has to be a day I have patience and time for play with my pens 😊. I would suggest for you to buy a regular PG classic black in the nib size you wish your habanero had. Although it depends vastly on where you get them, a classic black PG can be found at amazing deals, especially if you get it second hand. You can still play with your MS nib in the black pen and have your habanero with the nib size you want. Unless you are willing to have a special grind done on your MS nib. But as you mentioned you like the nib just not on the habanero, and you also like this particular pen as well, maybe getting - basically - a regular sailor nib could be another option. And yes you were out of your mind for convincing yourself you don’t need the KOP pen😂 Come on!😊 That’s like one of the best out of the box nibs out there. I love my KOPs.. and the B nib is just fantastic every time I write with it ❤ İt’s already in your collection; I would highly recommend you keep it. There aren’t many options (none in my opinion) that can fill a KOP nib’s place
That's exactly my plan. I don't think I'd want more of the music nibs, I would love to try the Platinum one, but I don't think it's a nib I would use frequently. But I like this music nib enough to keep it but will swap it out. I might take it one step further and get a Jowo housing so I can put the nib on a colorful pen. And I agree, what was I thinking of letting the KOP go. LOL.
@@seemownay Just a thought: I can send you a couple of pens to try out (Platinum MS nib, and a Sailor Zoom if you haven't tried one yet. I think you might like that one). Only I am not home and I will probably return in about a month; and from Turkey to the US post might take a while. İf you're ok with it why not.. let me know
I would love that! Let's email and find out what works best for you.
@@seemownay I sent you an e-mail 😊
I remember your struggles with Yozakura because I had a sample that I was struggling with as well. I really like the ink but it was a challenge finding the right pen. I am glad to see it worked in the Safari. I am tempted to get a bottle now to put in my Lilac Al-star with a gold nib. Heck, maybe I will get the Blackberry Safari that I have been denying myself as well. 😂
That Violet Blackberry is absolutely worth getting!
Deine Schrift gefällt mir. Wo bekommt man denn einen solchen Stiftehalter?? Der sieht richtig schön aus....
Der Stiftehalter ist ein Unikat - mein Sohn hat ihn für mich gemacht.
@@seemownay Ein begabter Sohn. Stiftehalter gibt es viele (ich hab einige aus Kunststoff), aber Deiner ist schöner, weil er so natürlich aussieht. Ganz toll gemacht! Liebe Grüße und ein großes WOW an den Sohn💕
Good to know that Venus Hair doesnt post. I usually post, unless the pen looks better unposted. I just have TSBI'S and Metros, but I guess the time has come for me to start buying more expensive pens; i'm sure you know how that goes. I collect all kinds of stuff so becoming a pen addict was inevitable. At least i use the pens, unlike the other things I hoard (collect). It must be a primordial hunter instinct, because searching, or "hunting," for things to add to a collection is the fun part.
I have heard and seen several people post the Talisman from Benu. So mine might have just been a one off that didn't post securely.
I also have the slightly different teal inks all over the place. They are my favorite. I just can't help it. I feel like it's harder to do the same thing with purple inks though. Why do so many very legible jewel toned purple inks have to have shimmer in them? Thanks for sharing!
#neverenoughteal 👍🏼
Yeah, I definitely don't feel bad for having all those teals. They are lovely.
I thought I already saw it 0.0 Did you by any chance edit out the soothing asmr in the beginning 😭😭
I made it unlisted because it's just not my usual video style. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@seemownay sometimes asmrs are nice. You actually have a great mic. I love the sailor feedback everytime you use the music nib
I don’t see the google form to fill out. New to your channel and to the fountain pens and ink world. ❤
I just added it to the description! Thanks so much for checking out my video! Rolling 2024 Giveaway: forms.gle/ec7PEwHYW3KnACzCA
Love citrus black, i use it a lot. Soleil couchant à Étretat mean Setting Sun at Étretat, which is a seaside commune in Normandie, France. A very beautiful place.
Thanks so much for sharing!
We have a Maltese and she can stink up a whole room with just one fart in an instant. 😂
It has actually gotten much better. So I think it was just something we fed him.
I changed my dog food and her flatulence became a lot less . You want to give a dog something with a lot less grain in it I know the less expensive dog food can make dogs fart. My Doberman had the worst.😂
It has gotten much better - we have a food that's salmon and sweet potato, I need to check how much grain is in the food. But he seems to be ok now.
Citrus black is an iron gall ink. But it is safe for fountain pens. Basically rusts before your eyes (ferrous to ferric iron) Citrus black is a favorite ink of mine.
The dominant industry reminded me of a stronger / darker celadon cat 😊
I was wondering how they compared to each other! 😊
I will absolutely pull out the swatch cards and take a photo.
Dog farts are a whole thing! My Mom has boxes of matches everywhere in her house.
Oh they are the worst!! 😂
🤢They'll clear a room! 😂
OMG. That's hilarious!
I removed the internal stopper for my 823 and now I love it much more! Agree that it and my LAMY 2000 are my favorite pens. They both just work and write well.
That's a smart idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you once again for sharing your experiences with us. It's a pity about the Scribo. The Lamy and ink are a great combination. I hope that you have a wonderful time with your visitors. It's always enjoyable to have family visit with all of the catching up and reminiscing.
Thank you so much, Ray!
In my old-lady opinion, you handled your son's situation perfectly. Sets him up for success. Sorry to hear about his finger. Nuts that he had no pain.
Hello, could you say what the notebook is that you would buy again? 8:30 Thank you!
It's definitely a Stalogy notebook. But I'm not sure about the size ... probably B6 size :)
It's a Stalogy B6 grid notebook. Sorry I didn't mention it in the video: amzn.to/4eLi9wj
@@seemownay Thank you!
I got the same pen from FB Marketplace for a good deal and it’s one of my best writers. I would really like to get a TN Passport setup and have the be my pen for that.
Also, absolutely love your growing method for functioning adults!
I assume you are talking about the PGS Mini. It's such a surprise pen for me.
@@seemownay yes, same for me. Same color as well
I love my Pina Colada! If I were to give it away I would need another...lol.
That's how I feel about the Violet Blackberry.
Mystery Thriller is the book genre. (Also classified as just thriller.)
That was easier than I thought it would be. LOL. Thanks for helping me out!
I only have the perspective as a daughter. But I think it's really cool that you are enabling your children to fight their own fights. By that you are helping them getting independent and making their own decisions as well as experiences. I love your very long videos ;)
Thank you!
“I care, but also I don’t” 😂 that’s a mood. I also appreciate how you let your son try to fight his own battles. I don’t have kids, but I agree that they learn by doing. That teacher seemed kind of rude the first time they said too bad. Thanks for keeping me company for a bit while I work!
Oh also regarding the book talk, I don’t know if “suspense” was what you meant, but that’s the word that kept coming to my mind. And someone already mentioned toned ghost writer as the author who writes for people who don’t write!
Thank you!
I also loved the sunshine yellow yun don ju sample from you a lot! ☀️
It's so good!
I feel like we're having such a great conversation about "Home" pens! Thanks for the shout out and for continuing the conversation!
Absolutely! I also finally added you into the description, so people can find you better. LOL. It definitely started a whole process in my head.
I have had a Rabenmutter moment with my son, too. He broke his fist during Fasching celebrations. It got swollen and went down a week later .My Mum, the nurse, was visiting and ordered me to take him to the doctor. Yep, it was broken. The doctor said I should have come in immediately and they would have operated.😮 I understand your feelings, Simone. I hope your son's finger heals. Good luck on his final exams. Also, congrats to your daughter on her job! Gruß, Kendra
Thanks! My son saw a doctor last Friday and they actually said that it is healing ok, no surgery needed and that he should remove the brace so his fingers wouldn't get stiff. So he is using his hand in "Schonungs-Mode" and not climbing.
Hi, busy body, back again. You're thinking of Ghost Writer.
Yes, that's what I was thinking about.
Yey for Monday! I love to tidy up my living room watching your snippets of my desk but i never comment. 😊 Have a lovely week.
You're the best!
That is a lot of time that you are spending with your dog! I don't think I fully realised. I hope you can find time to create while your family is there. If not, you'll be making memories you can add later. Do you use a photo printer? I can't remember you putting photos in your journal. There was someone I watched who did journal with me videos and they would have the photo upside down for privacy and then trace around it to save the space for adding the photo later. I thought that was a brilliant way to do social media!
I don't use photos. It was keeping me from journaling and so I canceled photos. Yeah, I'm spending so much time with my dog, but it's slowly getting better.
I had a lamy crystal ink also to use with my lamy 2000 but was also so dry (in comparison to iroshizuku inks)! I have yet to try my lamy2000 with another ink since..
I highly recommend trying it again! It's a lovely pen.
watching you enjoy yours penablede to get it and I have no regrets 😊 thank you for sharing your pen/ink/journal journey ❤
I love your pens especially the coastal color pen! What brand is that?
If you're talking about the Benu Euphoria Gold Coast, it's this one: www.atlasstationers.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-atlas-exclusive?sca_ref=3334637.crfk1M2giz
I have 3 "Feels like home" fountain pens: Pilot 823, Sailor Imperial and Pilot Vanishing Points....lol, we almost have the same taste.
Yes, we do!
