This video is my no tech response video to Hemingway Jones' awesome livestream Feb. 24th where he rated the various pen brands he has written with. Link to his livestream ... go check it out:

.... I literally can not help myself ... I wanted to do this too and found the idea to be the most creative and fun one I've come across in a long time!! My hat is off to Hemingway Jones on this one!
Even as I was doing this I was detecting bias' and inconsistencies in myself ... yet I had strong opinions on where each pen brand rates in my "book" so to speak. Even as I was TRYING to be fair.
Ha! I wonder if my ratings would come out the same if I did this again in 6 months without looking at this video or the chart. I guess that would depend on my experiences and impressions gathered between now and then.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this in the spirit it's intended .... fun ... with a side order of me learning what causes me to like or not like certain pen brands!!!!!
I'd love to see more people take on this project because it's highly entertaining and interesting to hear other pen peoples' opinions!!!!
Thank you very much for watching!!!!
Happy writing everyone!!!!!
Please let me know in the comments which fountain pens are bliss for you and which are a "no thanks". Do you have any brands you are conflicted about like me with Kaweco?
Let's talk in the comments.
