Hey guys! This is my first ever vlog where I challenged myself to write with one pen for a whole week! It was quite a bit of fun! In it I talk about the pilot custom 74! It’s pros (there’s a lot!) it’s cons (very few) and overall just what a delightful experience this past week has been 😊 enjoy! -Desk of Pens

Word, desk, word…love your videos and your enthusiasm. So fun to see you vids. Keep up the good work. Can you go over pricing when you do your reviews?? Love your channel.
I love this pen! I have a whole pack of them!
I think the best refill for any of the G2s is the Schmidt 888 in blue + broad (1.0mm)
Sweet.
Any g2 over jetstream.
🎉
Great pen!
The cartridge with the hole is to fit specific syringes or bulb cleaners for cleaning the pen. Obviously those are common in Germany, but harder to find in other countries. Goulet pens and jet pens have great articles when it comes to cleaning a fountain pen. They also have such types of syringes.
@@nikossiotas thanks for telling me!
@@Deskofpens You are welcome! Diplomat magnum is a nice pen, with kinda soft springy nib. Some people like that, specially if they write cursive, others not so much, they prefer a typical hard nib without line variation in writing. Each to their own!
What’s the pen length? I want to order one but know one will disclose that information. ??
Do you know if the rollerball Waterman refill will fit?
@@user-df1eg6rd3z great question! And sadly no. But, I do think the ballpoint in general is a little more reliable. Others may disagree 🤷🏼♂️

Loved this video, thanks for sharing you week, I've been thinking about using only my Custom 74 for an entire week, I might just do it now.
@@JosephDickson do it! It’s super fun!
My experience: I've been using this pen for about 3-4 years, and it hasnt failed me once 😂

Desk of Pens you are a Beast 🔥 🌊.
After hearing so many rave reviews about Pilot pens, I bought three of them. Frankly, I don't get it. If I compare them to my ST Duponts, the Pilots are anything but smooth, so I simply do not understand the love affair so many have with Pilot pens. The Sailor is IMHO much better, but even they simply cannot compare to Dupont's Olympios.
@@Xingqiwu387 which ones did you buy?
@@Deskofpens One Custom Heritage 912 and two Custom 823, each with a different nib.
@@Xingqiwu387 I Getcha man. Yeah I feel like Pilots are a hit or miss and that it’s a different style of writing personally
7 of those are terrible pens. The other is mediochre. None of those pens are the best. The Ohto is junk. Not pocket-friendly, at all. It just is not an EDC pen. The ergonomics are bad. Unredeemable. The Sharpie S-Gel breaks and is unreliable. Not Sharpie's best effort. With a better refill, OK as a desk pen, but does not survive EDC. Pilot has almost exclusively terrible pens. The G2 smears, leaks, won't write on many surfaces, is ugly, and is generally a piece of junk. Even the metal-bodied G2 still has all the same issues with the refill. The ink runs out very quickly, or dries up. The ink tint isn't too bad. Those grips keep germs, and are just nasty. Not for EDC. The Dr. Grip is not reliable. Won't write on many surfaces. An ugly pen. The grip is way too large. The size and weight are not juatifiable. The Pentel Energel is again poor for EDC. It's suitable for office. It's actually very ugly. It falls apart. It's very fragile. It does have vivid ink. The Sarassa Grand is also ugly. It bleeds, leaks, smears, clots, won't write on many surfaces, and that butt ugly clip catches on everything. Bad design. Why, oh why is the ink not vivid? If you remove the clip, it still is just a poor pen. I have several. The Uni-Ball Elite is really not one of their better pens. It's ugly, won't write on many surfaces, bleeds, and smears. If you have a rollerball, you need to cap it. They explode and leak. If you replace the refill and the body, not as bad. The Zebra F-701 is supposed to be durable, but often has plastic parts, and is very flimsy at the joint. The refill is proprietary. Way too pokey. The refill and ink are terrible. Zebra has some better versions, but to make this pen good, it needs a better refill. Not a pen for writing for any length of time. The older and newer versions are not as good as the second-gen version. Being a ballpoint, the ink is not vivid.
@@googleuser6635 cool cool, so which one did you like?
@@Deskofpens I carry a modified second-gen Zebra F-701 with a different refill, but this is one of a number of pens I carry. If pushed for 1 EDC pen, this would not be it. I have not found a perfect EDC pen, or I would only carry that 1 pen. Of more than 1,000 pens I've tried, they all have failed one or more tests.
@@googleuser6635 gotcha
I don’t think it’s a fail when you have to use a different type of pen or ink for the purposes of official paperwork. This is a great challenge :)
Man I love how chill your videos are. I just keep them on background while I work. It helps me focus actually.
@@nccastro653 That’s awesome! I’m glad you like them! I really like making them! Lemme know if there’s a pen you want me to review! I’d be happy to cover it! 😊
Great pen.
the ink and the pen go very well together. I see that there that the ink doesn't bleed through the paper, that is great. Waterman Serenity Blue does bleed through my notebook paper but probably is the low quality of it.
@@rikoflishas I’m sorry to hear about the waterman ink. I really wanna like that ink, but it just isn’t it for me. If you like then great! But if you wanna know about my ink it is Noodler’s 54th Mass.
@@Deskofpens yea, the paper I use is not great. Fountain pens are fun but now I get why the ballpoint is the universal instrument for writing.
@@rikoflishas yeah. Legit very true!
@@rikoflishas with that said, I use my Noodler’s 54th Massachusetts with Stellar 5 subjects, and I feel like they do great!
Well done desk, well done
The time lapse on this is total fire

On montblancs the white star cap is crooked. This is normal. It is one thing i look for when evaluating fake versus real.
@@DAVE9500 gotcha, thanks!
Also, keep in mind that the German brands (i.e. Faber, Schneider, Stabilo) all write on the broader side ... I love Faber -- I put a Fisher broad refill into a Faber Castell Grip Plus Ball ballpoint + it writes like a dream

Why would you put a $100 gold nib on a $25 pen?
@@thomasmorrison675 🤷🏼♂️ I feel like it
@@Deskofpens No better reason than that I guess.
Those cartridges hold one milliliter. If you got yourself a five milliliter syringe, you would have more control while filling.
Very helpful. Thanks
