Love Yoseka Stationary! I started getting my supplies from here and will continue to! Hopefully one day I'll get to swing by the physical location one day!
The Lamy 2000 is a great pen! I think it's somewhat under-appreciated. It was actually released in 1966 - designed by Gerd MĂŒller, a Bauhaus designer. The body of the pen is made of Makrolon, a type of plastic that was relatively new at the time. :)
shin-kai is a blue/black, but unlike quite a few of the Iroshizuku inks this one is not excessively wet which will benefit you if you have small handwriting; Sailor yonaga is another favourite of mine:)
Such a great gift guide, same with your other one! Love seeing you and Neil together đ Also, Iâve tucked my pilot vanishing point in my pen roll since Iâve gotten it and itâs faired extremely well! (Fingers crossed it stays that way) lol đ Love you all and hope you and yours are happy and healthy â€ïžđđ§ż
Iâve found the Vanishing Points do well in a pen roll if the knock goes in first because it is less likely to get accidentally pressed. But even if the pen goes in point first and the nib does come out, the danger is more that the pen roll will get inky than the nib will be damaged.
@@ruthfeiertagno, I understand that the risk here is that ink will get on the pen roll. I keep my VP in the last pen roll pocket all on its own. Pen tip facing upwards. I feel as though the plunger needs a lot of pressure to actually have the nib exposed. So Iâve lucked out so far đ
â @@robertholden4586I agree. I meant to support the idea that itâs fine to put a VP in a roll. Though perhaps Daisy should put Amodex on her list of gift suggestions. đ
@@ruthfeiertaglol agreed đ I think all us fountain pen and ink lovers could benefit from ink remover â€đ𧿠hope you and yours are happy and healthy!!
these are great ideas, for those of us with small handwriting the Pilot vp w an EF nib would be best: the JoWo EF nib in the Twsbi definitely puts down a broader line than I like and, thoâ Iâve not tried the Lamy2000, suspect it would write broader than Iâd like too but both are great options for someone with regular sized writing!; very interested in your Yamamoto paper: I shouldnât watch this channel, I invariably am introduced to a product that I wasnât previously aware of which I now want! - the last time I watched, you introduced me to the Sailor hocoro dip nib which has been used a lot!: thanks:)

You guys are awesome! I think the list is great, and Neal is so funny haha.

Iâve been eyeing up a bottle of the Shin-Kai for a while ,such a gorgeous blue ,it also may take me away from my comfort choice of Blue-Black

You say shameless plug, but it's such a nice green and love that it has a belt style secure thing, it's right up my aesthetic alley
How does Shin Kai compare to Asa Gao?
I hope Santa is watching.
Plug away!
