Fountain Pen and Nib Wishlist * UPDATE * June 2024 - What I'm focussing on next!
I am currently spending a lot of anxious energy on filling carts, wanting pens, and making plans so I thought I would update you on what has happened since the last video and where I'm currently focussing my collecting energy. As usual, this video is more geared toward helping me sort through my own thoughts and develop a plan that helps me stop overthinking. I hope you find some ideas helpful if you're stuck in a cycle of overthinking too.
Pens Mentioned:
SailorxYoseka Pro Gear Origin
Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black amzn.to/3wEuDEj
Waterman Carene amzn.to/4bXHwta

    I have a Little Pen Co nougat pen using exactly the same grey lavender sparkle resin as yours for the cap, section, and end finial. It closes in the same sort of... unsatisfying manner. Not quite secure, and you can't risk over-tightening it, so it feels off every time I cap. Fortunately, the nib doesn't dry out, so the seal must be adequate. Hopefully, they work on the threading a bit more, because their pens are indeed gorgeous and write well.

    Hallo Simone, ich konnte dir so gut folgen, dass ich jetzt auch kommentieren muss. Auf Deutsch:) Erstmal zu Waterman Carene: ich dachte genau das gleiche und konnte den Hype gar nicht verstehen. Ich habe diesen Füller (the Black Sea habe ich) nur gekauft, weil er bei Amazon im Angebot war und ich zum Schwarzen Meer einen besonderen Bezug habe. Ich muss sagen, der ist gar nicht so dünn, wie er aussieht; sehr robust, schreibt super gut (in Fine) und das snap cap macht ihn perfekt für den täglichen Gebrauch, wenn ich schnell was notieren muss. Zum Benu: was soll ich sagen, ich fand die sooo kitschig, fast hässlich. Dann habe ich mal das Talisman Venus's Hair für FP Day (wegen ein Video von Toxmot) und... diese Füller haben was. Und dazu habe ich mit dem Schmidt Feder meine Tinten ganz neu entdeckt, fabelhaft! Jetzt habe ich paar Benus mehr, inklusive des neuen Matcha Latte, welchen ich gerade mit Robert Oster Khakhi voll genieße. Und als ich dachte, der hier ist der letzte Benu... Fehlanzeige! Es kommt einen neuen Talisman Sandalwood...oh Mannnn! Scribo: ich habe Feel Inverno und liebe ihn, der flex F schreibt wie ein Traum (bei dem Mosto mag ich die gelbgold Details nicht). Die sind teuer, aber der La Dotta Domus ist auf meiner Liste:) Das Problem ist aber, dass ich seitdem immer nur mit flex schreiben will, es ist einfach so toll! Deswegen habe ich mir zum Geburtstag dieses Jahr der Santini Libra Ambra mit flex fine gegönnt und Oh Mein Gott! das ist alles, was ich in einem Füller suche (aber ich mag Piston-Füller), mit Abstand mein Favorit! Und zuletzt, Leonardo (ach, diese Italiener): ich mag nur die Momento Zero Serie und davon Jade ist mein Liebling. Von Momento Zero Grande 2.0 kommt aber einen Füller, the Art of Guillochè Verdigris & Rhodium, den ich mir unbedingt ansehen würde....Pleite aber geil:) Ganz liebe Grüße aus Hamburg!

      Den MZG Verdigris hab ich auch schon beäugt, aber ich bin nicht so überzeugt, ob mir die Haptik gefällt. Das wäre tatsächlich ein Füller, den ich gern mal anfassen würde, bevor ich ihn kaufe. Ich hab grad von Papier&Stift den La Dotta Studiorum gekauft (der Domus ist da aktuell auch im Angebot) und irgendwie fühlt der sich sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig an mit den Rillen… 🤔 Die Flex-Federn von Scribo sind übrigens wirklich der Hammer, das stimmt, aber ich mag auch sehr die Leonardo-Flex in 14K…😊 Meine Benu-Sammlung ist am explodieren und ich überlege die ganze Zeit, ob ich mir den Matcha Latte bestellen soll… 😂

Noppen Sandalen hat mein Papa immer getragen, die fand ich als Kind total komisch. 🤣 Und ja, stimmt… der Verdigris hat eine glatte Griffzone… das war mir noch gar nicht aufgefallen. Was mich auch ein bisschen davon abhält den sofort bei Stilo&Stile vorzubestellen (10% Rabatt;) ist die Tatsache, dass er von der Farbe her meinem Scribo Feel Verde Antico sehr ähnlich ist. Eine EF Flex hab ich noch nicht, die F Flex finde ich in 14 K super, aber Stahl… weiß nicht. Würde wohl eher zu einer M oder B tendieren. Und bzgl.

    I think that 10 or fewer pens is about the right amount in order to avoid being overwhelmed by choice. Perhaps 6 pens that are permanent keepers and 4 spaces for rotating pens in and out of the collection. Of course there is nothing wrong with having more if it suits your needs or makes you happy. I find that having too many options makes me less happy.

I have tried writing with a Scribo and really liked it, but not enough to consider spending the money on it. The Waterman was gorgeous to write with! Not sure why but it was really comfortable and the nib was fantastic! I don't think it is for me though in the same way the Pelikan M405 was. Too classy business woman. That is just my brain being weird, probably. Enjoy your vacay!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
