The number 1 question I get asked about fountain pens is, "What pens do you recommend for a beginner?", so in this video I share my 5 favorite fountain pens for beginners or for those who want to go back to the basics with their pens.
Fountain pens don't have to be intimidating and can elevate your writing experience. I've been using Fountain Pens since I was a Junior in High School and I've been collecting since my early 20s right out of Undergrad. I have an extensive collection of pens that I've amassed over 3 decades and I want to shine the light on my love for these exquisite instruments and share my wisdom about them with you.
