Closing...
I'm ready.
Videographer: You said you wanted a Kaweco didn't you?
I did, the-- there's a new one--
Oh boy, that was a sound.
Videographer: Now.
Opening... oh my god.
This is an absolute unit...
Okay, okay.
Oh?!
It's a little toothy,
i'm getting a little bit of feedback here.
Hold on, I'm hard starting, give me one second.
I'm looking at myself... [squeaks]
Hey everyone, it's your girl Stephanie!
Name on screen... [mouth pop]
And you all asked for it,
so today I'm going to be showing you
what's in my fountain pen collection!

P.S. You're going to want to stay here
because I'm going to be showing you
my grail pen!
Let's get started.
Okay, so this is my main fountain pen roll.
It's from Rickshaw Bagworks.
Unfortunately, we don't carry them here,
but I highly recommend the Pilot Ballistic Zest
or the Concise Bellows,
which you can find on our website.
Similar, but not the same.
But still very good
Let's have a look inside.
Ready?
"That's it! Bye everyone!"
No [laughs]
Oh it's so nice...
Oh it's so plush...
Don't rub your face on it!
Maybe do...
but at home!
These are-- these are them...
my children.
I use fountain pens for Everything!
Capital "E"
Writing notes, letters, journaling...
one may say...
in the Hobonichi...
Okay, we're gonna look inside now.
Ready?
So first we have the Platinum 3776 Century
with a broad nib.
Opening...
and it's inked with Pelikan Edelstein Jade
Beautiful green,
it's very good--
I don't know why that...
I thought about the ink and I'm like...
This is probably the closest I have
to a color coordinated look.
Uh, I usually don't color coordinate.
But when I'm in the mood, absolutely!
But this pen is super beautiful,
it was a gift.
I love the green and gold combination.
Also noted, 14 karat gold nib.
Beautiful...
Also, also...
the breather hole...
is a heart!
I was going to clutch my chest,
but the microphone is here.
Don't do that...
Videographer: See it? Did you know-- did you know!?
Did you know
some of these have the slip and seal?
I don't think this--
Videographer: Look at the sideways.
Oh, it does!
It has the spring!
The slip and seal is in the--
The slip and seal is in the Platinum 3776 Century!
Did you know that?!
I didn't know--
Which means technically
this could write if I left it alone for a year.
Is that what we're saying?
Thinking back on it...
Yeah, this pen writes...
beautifully every time.
On a related note, I don't post.
Posting is this...
I don't do that.
This-- now it feels kind of
too weighted in the back.
I usually do this...
and I do this. [laughs]
But please let me know if you post
or if you don't post.
These are very important questions
that I'm asking.
Let's move on!
Next, we have the
Monteverde Invincia Nebula
This is an extra fine and it has
Colorverse Walk the Dog
Which...
not color coordinated, clearly.
Uh, I love the black plated nib.
There's some wear and tear on it,
as you will see.
But I don't mind that.
I mean, it's normal...
I use my pens!
There's gonna be wear and tear.
It's kind of a heavier pen
so again I don't post.
But you're welcome to do so.
God, it's so--
Uhh, it's so beautiful--
this is my desert island pen!
What's your desert island pen?
I have many questions for you...
What's your desert island pen?
Do you post?
Uh, what else...
Boxes!
This comes in a fancy green box...
What do you do with your boxes?
I have one
has like q-tips, silicone grease, o-rings,
and like a old toothbrush head.
So that like--
it's my fountain pen maintenance kit.
But then I have other boxes that i'm like...
it just sits in my home.
But if you have any suggestions
as to what to do with the box,
let me know in the comments.
Last thing,
don't tell my pen,
but I'm basically the meme
where I'm the guy looking at
the Monteverde Invincia Stealth Black Omniflex
I'm like [laughs]
It's beautiful.
If you look--
just look at the photos.
I'm telling--
I'm going to tell you to look at all these pens,
you should just look at it.
It is absolutely beautiful
but don't tell this pen.
This pen could just hang out in here and not know
that we're looking at the Stealth Black Omniflex.
Next up, we have the pen that started it all.
This is the Platinum Preppy.
It's a fine nib and it is inked with J. Herbin Bouquet d'Antan.
Yes, you have to say it with the finesse because it is French!
I got in 2018 from JetPens with the Pilot Iroshizuku Set A which is
Kon-peki, Take-sumi and Tsuki-yo.
And also I got the gold converter which you can see through the translucent barrel.
It has artist tape on it because I twisted it too tight trying to keep it safe and it got cracked.
So yeah, I wasn't going to eyedropper convert it anyway, but we have a guide on that as well as
a comprehensive guide on the Preppy itself. So, if you do not have a fountain pen in your life, please consider.
Highly recommend if you're a beginner or if you know a beginner or if you know someone
who's interested. This is an excellent pen to try. I almost forgot the slip and seal we did a whole
video on that. Josh did the video so go watch the video, please enjoy, give that a thumbs up if you
haven't already, and go get yourself one of these and you will not regret it thank you very much.
Next, we have the oh-so-classy Pilot Vanishing Point in matte black. This has a fine nib and it is
currently inked with Sailor Gentle Grenade which... That whole line is discontinued, unfortunately, but
dupes that we carry include, from what I saw, Platinum Classic Cassis Black and
Graf von Faber-Castell Garnet Red. I'm so sorry that I butchered that but I'm doing
my absolute best. For those who do not know why it is called a Vanishing Point I will... [extends and retracts nib]
Oh... I get-- I don't get the-- I don't get the little ASMR thing, but I just like how it's a solid click.
So it's interesting because the nib is facing this way but also the clip is facing this way.
So when you're holding... it in my hand it feels fine. But you would think 'cause my hand-- I hold the pen
weird that it wouldn't. But it's fine. Anyway, it's matte black. This is a beautiful pen. Super sleek.
If you want to start a whole matte black collection of pens
this is one to definitely add to your collection.
Next, we have the TWSBI ECO-T in Mint Blue. It's a limited edition color, so
if you want to pick it up, pick it up now. In the ECO currently it's Jade which is also beautiful.
But TWSBI always comes out with limited edition colors, so always keep an eye out for those.
This has a broad nib. it is inked with Sailor Manyo Haha, which is beautiful color. Dual sheen-y. Not
sheen-y. Dual color-- purple, blue, green. It doesn't know what it wants to be. And neither do I. So
I relate. But this is probably my favorite combo as far as nib, ink, and pen.
Oh my god, it's so nice. I'm just looking at-- this is what happens when you have a demonstrator pen.
You just start looking at it-- at the fill you have going on. But if you're looking for a demonstrator,
if you're looking for high ink capacity, highly recommend anything from TWSBI. Always quality,
super nice. Comes with its own tools for maintenance too.
Love it. Continuity error! My sleeves are down now because I got cold. Deal with it!
And finally, for this fountain pen roll, I have the Noodler's Ahab Flex, which is currently inked with
Lamy Beryl. I'm not going to open it, actually, that's probably not the smartest idea.
But I got it in the demonstrator because I like to see what's going on.
I've heard the trick-- because sometimes, if you don't know, some of you know. Straight
out of the box the pen has a smell. I don't mind the smell, but if you mind the smell
clean it, put it in the windowsill (in the sun), let it sit for like a day, and see if it helps.
Again, I don't mind, it's no big deal. I like to use it just writing normal. I flex. Do not get
me wrong, I flex hard sometimes. But I also just like writing normal. Because sometimes whatever
ink is in here, I just like-- I just want to write with it. So it's whatever I'm feeling at the time.
I'm getting distracted by looking at the ink capacity. I'm going to put this away.
But wait... There's more!
This is also from Rickshaw Bagworks. I don't know if we carry something similar to this, but
I know that these are like the Point Pen Holders because they hold three in each.
Please observe: dogs. And then I also have the waves, and inside is [fan fare sounds] the grail pen. Oh my god.
Sorry! Sometimes you get-- just distracted by...
God... It's beautiful. This is the Pilot Vanishing Point Raden Galaxy.
Medium nib, currently inked with Aurora Blue Black. A grail pen, for those who do not know, imagine
"The Holy Grail". Now imagine "The Holy Grail" in pen form and this is it for me.
I daily journal-- Sorry, I'm looking-- I daily journal and I use this pen to do so.
I mean, I use all these pens pretty regularly, but like-- daily in my journal journaling. I use this pen
and sometimes I do what I just did, where I stop and I just look... and sometimes I'll sit at my desk
and the sun is coming through and that's-- and then I'll just be like [stares at pen]. This is a very expensive pen.
If you are willing to make the investment that is on you. Also on me. That is on you. So... [sigh]
All right, I'm going to put this away-- uh-- This is just gonna be the rest of the video. It's
just me looking at it and that's not-- you don't wanna just watch me look at the pen.
And those are all of my currently inked pens. Question for those of you out there:
How many pens do you have inked up? Let me know in the comments below. Also, though,
which pen are you looking to get next? Me? Oh, the TWSBI-- TWSBI Vac700R Iris with a 1.1 stub nib.
I'm manifesting it. That's me manifesting it right now. Let's all manifest together. ...Manifestation over.
Anyway, if you are new to fountain pens or if you know someone who's interested in the hobby,
I highly recommend checking out the JetPens Fountain Pen Sampler, which allows you to try out
several different beginner-friendly pens. So you can fall down the rabbit hole
just like me. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the Q&A section of this video.

Q&A section~! Fountain pen wrap up-- fountain pen roll up [laughs hysterically/manically] [sighs exasperatedly].
Hey. What printer do you use?
Listen. The Hobonichi gets thick already. So then the question is: Does it matter if it's more
chunky? Sorry. I'm getting situated for the k-pop question. This could be a whole video on its own~!
