In all serious it’s surprising how edible some of Brooks’s materials look. I have a pen in his Calico Koi and it’s unsettling how much it reminds of a caramel swirl ice cream. So many confused thoughts when I use that pen 😂
Congratulations Stephen, so proud of you for matching ink & pen. Great review and certainly Leonardo & Jonathan Brooks have come up with a wining combination.
Always interesting to see what the next Brooks resin will be. Sadly, I was too late to the hobby for the Combustion Momento Magico, otherwise that would've been my first. Really appreciate what you do, thanks for the video!
I love this DPS edition, absolutely gorgeous and I completely understand your enthousiasm. And Star Ruby is a beautiful ink, glad to see you still own it!
Yes, well done on the ink match,my fav red ink. Ha,ha, I am not doing as well matching ink to my Leonardo SuperNova 2023, J.Brookes “Bohemian Twilight” EF. Otherwise, I concur with every thing you said about the Sugar Rush M Z G Dutch Pen show. My first Leonardo it is fantastic. Oh and thanks too, to Appelboom and to you Stephen for the discount code.
Thank you, Dr. Brown, for the excellent review. Gorgeous pen, indeed. I have resisted matching inks with pens telling myself that it’s all just writing. But recently I find myself matching them almost as if being attracted by a magnet. Go figure. I want to thank you for your review some time ago of the Jinhao 9019 that didn’t write. It seems your chastisement caused them to start some quality control. Saw another, more recent review of their “Heartbeat” nib wherein the reviewer had drawn some water into it and found the water slightly blue. Seems someone had actually tested it. Bought one (M) to have another larger diameter pen that I could take out of the house with no worries. Mine also showed some blue. It writes very well! I wrote several pages alternating between it and my Pelikan M 800 (B) with identical ink in each. Now, it is NOT the Pelikan, but was pleasant to use and put down ink well and kept doing it. On behalf of the pen community (and probably also for Jinhao), thank you. You always make this community better, and I’m saying this is a measureable iimprovement. Strong work!
It's a nice match! I matched mine with a brown called SBRE Brown and somehow that matches the orange/ gold swirls pretty good. I think you would like it as well.
I'm a bit over the colours and artistic design variations, it's just another pen in a colourful body. I'm not discounting the effort that goes into making these works of art, but it seems the industry has lost it's innovation on the actual technical function of a pen which is writing. I want better performing nibs, feeds, ink reservoirs, etc., etc. otherwise they all look the same to me and I can't get excited. Sorry for the negativity.
Great ink pairing! I love Leonardo pens and I'm a fan of Brooks resins. This pen is lovely.
It looks so much like the hard candy that it might be the one pen I would start chewing on.
Please don’t!😂

Stunning pen! I have last years Dutch pen show Leonardo and love it!😍
That ink is indeed a nice match, thanks for the review!

Beautiful pen and ink combo. 🍬

I felt myself writing along with you, and almost felt the smooth nib feedback. It looked like a dream writer. 👍

Stunning pen! I absolutely love the resin they chose for it.

Lovely pen. Even lovelier nib. Thanks for sharing.
Love the ink, love the pen: it really does look good enough to eat 🍬
Thank you for the great video!🍬🍭
