In this video, I show you the 40 fountain pens that are my top favorite. I have housed them in my Levenger Collector's Lock & Key Inlay Pen Case (box) which was a gift from pen friend Shirlee. Thank you Shirlee!!!!!
This was a difficult (almost impossible) but fun exercise. Many pens I do love didn't make the top 40 but still are pens that I love and write with. You know how that goes in this hobby!?
At the end I explain why I'm wearing some finger/thumb braces ... and 2 bandaids. No falling involved.
