Fountain pens collection and favorites 🖋️ for beginners and budget conscious collectors

As a fountain pen newbie these are the pens that I have and loved despite them being more "affordable" than most, these are less than USD $80, with some of my favorites that are less than $20. If you're just starting then there are a few of these I recommend and a few I don't. In the end I go through my top 8, top 5 and top 3 favorite pens. Hope you enjoy watching and let me know if there is any of these you're interested in that you wanted more in depth review.
A tiny bit late but happy fountain pen day!
