Fountain pen

Man, I was just saying, uh, we did a video about my watches, and people were like, "Stop it, Michael.

It's Hannah's turn to do fountain pens."

It's fountain pen day.

I love it.

You're gonna not only be familiar with the, uh, delightful range that I've brought you but with the incredibly beautiful physics that lies behind it.

Good, because I don't know how they work.

Because let me tell you this, right? Fountain pens, it's not just like doodling with a ballpoint, right? This is an elegant dance of hydrodynamics going on behind the scenes.

You're about to be blown away by it.

You and I both taught classes this time.

You taught your Fountain Pens 101, Fountain Pen Basics.

I taught Notebook Systems.

My classes were both full.

And his handwriting is immaculate, which I'm highly jealous of because mine is the opposite end of immaculate, which is not legible at all.

But if you're interested in Sean Penn's, I don't think that there's a better channel, honestly, for... looking at different inks, different papers, actual fountain pens.

If you're just kind of nerding out on fountain pens, which I unfortunately am.

You guys can't see this now because I'm not on an actual camera.

which I believe make pens, according to what I'm reading here.

I might have mentioned before, says Ed, that I like fountain pens.

Maybe you've heard that Chris Kelly likes them too.

No, really? I've got a new car, I've told you.

I don't use pens very much, but it's great that people have got hobbies and that they are diverse, which is great.

Super, super.

Chris Kelly jumped in as well and said, another reason to praise Lamy, if that's how you pronounce it, is that the majority of their fountain pens use an identical design of nib, which can be simply pulled off and pushed back on.

If you're like me and own more than one of their pens with different line widths and colours of nib, then you can swap them from one pen to another.

I said

it to someone the other day because I was like, I love fountain pens because when we got our pen license, we had to write with a fountain pen.

We didn't get a choice.

Glorious.

I did want to do a whole other segment on Air Steppy.

I think that took like two entire episodes back in the day not that long ago earlier this year when i first got them in but as a product to use not my favorite as a mechanical pencil nerd that i am it did not hold up to pretty much most mechanical pencils um i got something in hand that i ordered way before airsteppy mike did you back the endless maze kickstarter fountain pen i absolutely did not know no Okay.

Wow.

That was aggressive.

air in there you seem

quite hesitant about how to do it like yeah it isn't it really feels like high expert level but yes even then just like hard to execute in a way that is satisfying

so that the mental challenge I had was and I mentioned this as I was going through it, were expectations, right? My expectations of how to fill a fountain pen, I had to throw all that out the window.

Yeah.
