oh god that fisheye angle was unpleasant.

 

I'm also a little intoxicated, so that may have just exacerbated it.

 

Also, ditch the coat and hat while doing a review. You aren't outside, take 'em off.

 

Overall though very comprehensive. 30 minutes is a little long, so try to pare it down to 10 mins, 15-20 absolute max if you've just got a ton to say.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

The 3776 has always been a keeper for me ever since I saw it the first time, especially the Chartres Blue.

 

As for the video review, unique rating system and quite thorough. I enjoyed it although I agree with Honeybadgers regarding the camera lens and video duration being too long. You could compress the time a bit and make it a 20 minute video.

No problems on what you're wearing though, as long as it makes you comfortable.

It's very thorough, thank you; I have no idea if it's easy to do but it could be even more useful with a menu or some such at the beginning so one could jump to the section of more interest, in my case the writing example. I've had this pen on my radar for a long time, it's a shame the silver accent models are a lot more expensive, there are too many desirable pens for me in that range that always win over this one.

Good comprehensive review

 

I liked your 5 research points, rating system and reverse writing demo

 

Keep up the good work

Hey Mr. Badgers. Thanks for your input. Sorry the fisheye bothered you. It was a creative choice. Just going for a different look. As for my sartorial choices, just trying to show my personality a bit through dress. I hope you'll keep viewing. If not though, thanks again.

Thanks for the input man. I'll take it into consideration. I'm trying to set my videos apart, hence the fish eye and longer length. I may tweak it in the future, depending on feedback. Thanks again!

Thanks for the input. There are actually time stamps in the description of the video, so you should be able to skip around. Hope this helps! Thanks again.

Duh! sorry about that, I almost never go beyond the video.

No worries. I've started mentioning the time stamps in the video intro. Just posted a new one if you're interested. Later gator.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
