Top 7 Fountain Pen Wins

Earlier this year we did a very popular post called Top 7 Fountain Pen Mistakes which featured some of the low points of using a fountain pen (and how to avoid them!). Here we sought to turn that on its head and talk about some of the biggest wins you can experience as you start out. These wins may not even be something you know is in store for you, and that's the best part. As fountain pen users we can all experience these wins which is just icing on the cake from our normal writing experience. Here are 7 of the best Fountain Pen Wins we've experienced.

1. you got me with the finding the right letter in the alphabet.
2. i still don't know how to sketch with a fountain pen, man those look awesome. Are there resources other than "copying till you get it"?
3. I'm a newby to the fountain pen community but I'm totally hooked! I splurged today on a beautiful seaglass Edison, and I can hardly wait to hold it in my hand!! I have a friend who unbeknownst to him actually turned me on to this awesome world of the glorious fountain pen. Yeah, that first Lamy Safari was all it took. Alas and yaaay! I'll never go back to that silly ballpoint. That almost sounds like a cuss word now.
4. what was the name of blue fountain pen at 2:53?
5. when you master the flex nib, feels realy good man
6. i LOVE writing lowercase k's and f's
7. My letter is f. I just love writing it in the fountain pen ink.
8. been a writer for years. why havent i moved up to fountain pens. pain free yesss please
9. Anyone know what that ink is at 4:11? It's absolutely stunning!
10. Man, that Twilight Logo looks really good, would probably goes hand-in-hand amazingly with R&K Scabiosa.
11. What a terrific and thoroughly enjoyable video, Brian! You neatly articulated so many of the things I love about my fountain pen addiction. And when I saw my orange Conklin Duragraph with six orange ink samples, among them my personal choice Noodler's Habanera, that sealed it for me. I'd love to see more like this.
12. This is fantastic. I'm new to fountain pens and have loved a few of these things and now can't wait to find fellow fountain pen lovers someday somewhere in real life!
13. My fountain pen win is giving my wife a fountain pen that she can use everyday and treasure.
14. what was the ink on 5:16
15. Another one for people who are restricted to black, blue and blue black inks is when you realise you can use different colour inks BEST WIN EVER
16. Hi! I'm new to FPs and am thinking about a Noodler's Ahab for my second purchase. I love the ink at 1:37. What kind of ink is that? And would it work in the Ahab? Thanks in advance!
17. Great video! you've got some noise in your audio, just so you know
18. Great video. Question: Do you sell any of the "shimmer" inks that you mentioned?
19. Yes! Writing that perfect letter! Mine is a lowercase 'r'. Trying to perfect my capital 'K' because my name starts with it. So difficult though! Great list :-)
20. Whoa, that Emerald of Chivor ink looks really nice! Does it work when writing normally though?
    
    Also, a few times in the video I saw you using pressure to make wider pen strokes, none of my pens do this - can you recommend any that would give me this feature? I do a lot of artistic things with my writing and I enjoy calligraphy a lot, and I normally dip pens in to ink for that feature, but if I had a pen with it, it would allow me to do copperplate and other fonts much easier. Thanks!
