In this video we take a closer look at the Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen and do a writing sample. I have three pens for the writing sample and therefore also three Diamine inks. Enjoy!
Sold! Thank you for the exact info I needed in my fountain pen hunt. Been wanting one for a while and had no idea where to begin. Your videos are a great help! I love Pilot pens. The acroball 0.7 is my ultimate - I hardly use anything else. Where do you source Diamine Ink from here in SA? Thanks for this channel and I’m in love with Cosmo! 🖋️
Try writegear.co.za, they are my go-to online store and have a large selection of Diamine inks and lots of pens as well, based in Cape Town. I use the Acroball as well.
I have a couple of Metropolitans,, I must admit though, I got them only for the cursive italic nibs, that I then transplanted into my Pilot Explorer pens. I prefer the Explorer, a much better fit in my hand and far lighter for extended writing sessions.
I had an Explorer but didnt like it. I think it was a fine nib and being Pilot, perhaps just too fine for me. However, I think I would enjoy an italic nib on my Metropolitan.
@@onemorepen I found them to be just a little scratchy for my liking and polished them on some micromesh, even my wife reaches for them first now and she doesn't normally like fountain pens!

As a newbie, the pens look attractive to me. Will definitely look into this.
They are around R400
I have one Metropolitan pen. Enjoy how it writes.

@@onemorepen Yes, the cursive italic is much like a 0.9mm stub, a little tuning and it transforms my writing!
@@MagikMan69181 I'm convinced, will have to get one now.

@@MagikMan69181 I need to get some micromesh and learn these skills so I can tune my own pens. There is always more to learn.
