Cool or Not Cool! - Rating Fountain Pens!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- Fountain pens are many things but which ones are cool and which ones are not cool, or uncool if you prefer? So many times on this channel, I am so serious but let’s make a departure and have some fun. Don’t be upset if you love some of these pens; I do too, but it’s super fun to just simply decide whether or not they are cool.
Also, the amazing Helen rejoins the Channel! This time, as cohost! This is not to be missed! I even left some of the outtakes in because they were entertaining. I hope that you enjoy them and this exciting episode of “Cool or Not Cool!”

![*SUPER RARE* THE PARADIGM IS BACK?!?!? Fortnite Item Shop [August 6th, 2024] (Fortnite Chapter 5)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ru6xSH1RaPw/mqdefault.jpg)
One could argue about the featured pens being cool or not cool, but this video definitely was mega cool. Thanks to both of you 🖤
Agreed! This was fun and lighthearted. Loved it!
Thank you!
Thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Pilot E95S, "grandmother," "wealthy old lady with a snap purse," LOL!!! Lots of fun, thank you!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
I gotta say, I agreed with all but one of your wife’s choices. She understood the assignment and chose well. It was so funny when she called 2 of your favorite fountain pens “not cool” and you seemed so hurt by it, so you decided to overrule her.
Very entertaining video. Your wife is lovely and seems so sweet.
She is awesome. Thanks for watching it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. We had so much fun filming this.
That was a delight. Kudos for the editing, not cutting out the bits where it all goes off the rails - you two are an absolute joy.
Thank you Karl! I left some of that in for sure. I took out mostly where I droned on and on! Thanks!
OKay, anyone else just spend 6-7 minutes watching the first 30 seconds over and over?! LOLOLO!! I don't know what to say, this was such a fun video. The charm and loving banter was jumping through the screen! Helen doubling down on the "glitter pen" was just the best, and then the ACTUAL glitter Benu pen and your comment "we're allll sparkles", OMG, I can't 🤣. You shine together with no script, I think we all would say we want more of these, bravo!!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it. I was worried because it is different than anything else I had ever done. Thanks so much for the vote of confidence!
Had to come back to watch this again, it is just so great, HJ! So happy for you to to see that the views are pretty massive, it is wonderful that so many got to see this gem!
This one just seemed special. I'm glad you did this, it was amazing! Your wife seems very cool and just as interesting as you Hemingway. I'm glad you found her! Didn't agree with you guys on the E95S and the Amber Marine Carene Waterman, although maybe because I don't have either one yet. Maybe I'm an old grandma at heart. haha!
You and me both! Thanks so much for your kind words. She is amazing and she brings out the best in me. I am so glad you enjoyed this. Thanks so much for watching.
This is a beautiful, entertaining, funny and adorable video.
Definitely Helen should be more often part of the show...
I hope there will be more "cool or not cool" kind of videos in the future. ❤
Thanks very much! We appreciate that! I’d like to have her on again. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations to Mrs. HJ for making it through the video. I'm sure we'd all love to see more of her perceptive comments about her pens. What a great video. ❤
Thanks very much! We appreciate it! We may do something together. We have a new idea very similar to this. Thanks for the kind support.
Okay, you guys are SO FUN to watch! Helen instantly stepped up the value of your videos!! Thank you so much for this fun, enjoyable video!
Also, what a unique ranking idea. Most rankings are not according to the 'cool' factor. Wonderful time with you two.
This was all in the spirit of good fun. I am glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This should be a regular feature, both of you discussing fountain pens and everything that comes with it!!!!
Thanks so much! I would love to have her on again. She is great.
This video was amazing and it wasn’t because of the pens! The love and laughter filled me with joy and almost brought me to tears! ♥️ Loved the pictures of you two at the end! Such a nice touch! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for coming on Mrs HJ!
Aw, Wow! Thanks so much! I appreciate this feedback so much. She is a love. I am happy I could share her light with you all it was so fun for us. Thank you!
OMG You two are gorgeous together. I do believe Helen brings out the very best in you Hemingway. You both got me laughing with you on the Benu, what joy!
Aw, thanks so much. She really does bring out the best in me. Thanks!
You two are literally a magazine couple! So beautiful. - if the Cartier was cool because it’s name, Diabolo. Then the JR is just as cool with that Pumpkin Latte name 😝 HJ, you’re the coolest! Thanks for another great video
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words and for you being here. I appreciate the positivity.
Magic! I can’t count how many times I laughed out loud. I loved hearing you both try to gain composure before you started. What a charming video!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
A pen that could simultaneously conjure Steve McQueen and have a unicorn vibe. That would definitely be cool. I was 100% expecting Egyptomania to appear in that finale spot considering its Indiana Jones kind of cool. Thanks Helen and Hem for a really fun video!
Part 2 Perhaps! Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed this.
Great job, folks! It was fun to watch and clear that you two genuinely enjoyed yourselves. Excellent.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
loved this video! both yours and helen’s energy was contagious. i have to agree with you on the pilot e95s being lana del rey-esque. it looks like something she would’ve used to write the ultraviolence or born to die albums
this was so much fun! thank you for posting, i look forward to seeing the both of you in future videos
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it. +1 for Lana Del Rey!
I loved this video, but the photos at the end were my favorite part. They were definitely cool and so are the two of you. Thanks for sharing this side of your life with us. Very cool.
Thanks so much! That is so kind of you to say. Helen is a celebration of all that is good in the world.
You guys are adorable. Agreed with a lot of your choices, but was a little hurt when I was called out as a frumpy old lady because I like the E95S. But! When I thought about whether Bullit would use one -- no, he wouldn't. Thanks!!
Haha! Thanks so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think I am a the same as you. I love that pen! Thanks for the kind words.
You both go in the cool category. Sweet family pictures during the credits!
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching the entire thing!
I majored in Physics in college, so I have no idea about cool! Still, ti was fun to hear from your wife. She needs to appear more often!
We have a few pens in common. I like her description of the Sheaffer Legacy. I have one too. And we can agree that the "Airstream pen" is cool!
I love that description! She really nailed it! I am so glad you enjoyed this, My Friend. It’s always a pleasure to hear from you.
What a fun video-do more collars. I’m one of those people that think TWSBI Diamond 580 in Iris is super cool-so on Helen’s team with that one. Definitely think my beloved pilot e95S AND my Custom 823 are also mega cool in that they work like a dream and are so so smooth! Plus I love the burgundy and gold of my e95S! However, to be on the Uber cool train-you need a few dazzling Benu pens too 😚
There you are! Absolutely, and of course this is all subjective and done in the spirit of good fun.
In the running for the best fountain-pen-related RUclips video ever!
Aw, thank you! That is very kind of you to say.
Several times you announced this was going to be fun ...
And oh boy, you (both) delivered! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I was worried! Thanks for being here.
Hello HJ. What a fun video. It amazes me how a simple, utilitarian object can take on a life of its own. Very cool how you and Helen interacted with each other. Great video my friend. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
I am still laughing at the characterization of the Montblanc 149! This was so fun!
OMG, me too, especially with the follow up pen, the Sailor 1911, and HJ not missing a beat by saying that it "does tune down douche"🤣💀
Haha! Thanks! We had fun with this! 😂
I told you all that I am much goofier than I come across in my normal videos! 😂
Well that was super fun! Maybe version 2 can be pretentious or not pretentious. ;-)
This is Hilarious! Thank you for that! Thanks for watching too. I’m sharing this one with Helen.
Cool is a whole spectrum that goes from sparkles to classy! I agree with most of this. Hellen choices are refreshing 🙂
I agree completely! Helen schooled me on several choices.
This was really fun to watch! You two did a great job & I agreed with most of your decisions. I do love my Pilot E95s and thought it should go in the "cool" category, too.
Thanks so much! It was such a fun discussion. Thank you.
Such a fun video. You guys complement each other so well. Loved all the cool pens and Helen's necklace is cool too!
Thank you so much! We just filmed part 2 today! Expect it in a few months. Thanks!
Love Helen, and this was a great debut! Where the heck was the Egyptomania, the coolest pen ever! :)
Ladd, good point! Maybe a Part 2 !!
Helen was fantastic. Excellent reasons for her choices. She compliments you so well.
Thank you. I adore her. She is so fun. Thanks!
This was absolutely Brilliant! Thanks to the both of you for a most fun and enjoyable video. When the Benu started the laughter, I literally could not help but join in. Please consider making a joint video again. :)
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We filmed part 2 yesterday. It should be up in late October or so. Thank you.
This was super fun!!! 😂❤ "Cool" is so subjective yet it's fun to contemplate!!!
Right?! Exactly, that is what makes it fun. Helen had a much better definition for cool than I did or do. Thanks!
Such an awesome video!! You two are go great together! I’m hoping that there are more videos with Helen. Oh, and the content about cool pens, I have to agree with Helen about most of the pens including the Benu. Sparkles are cool!
Thanks Beth! I am so glad you liked it! Helen is the best.
I think Mrs HJ is too cool! This video was so enjoyable! ❣️✨
Thank you! She is the best!
Beautiful pictures of your family in the end credits😊 love them!
Thank you! That’s my favorite part.
Fantastic, I watched it with great amusement.
The interaction between the two of you was funny, would love more of that.
I would also like to see the term Sunday fountain pens covered .
Also for example the fountain pens when you go outside, when you travel, go hiking, go to work, to the store, to the restaurant etc.
Finally enough topics to see you both at work.
Keep up the good work HJ and your wife too of course .... So she can correct you linguistically LOL.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed this. She is awesome at helping me say the right words! Thanks! By the way, I just filmed “Traveling With Fountain Pens.” I am doing the voiceover later this evening. You are the best!
I would rate the video as super cool. Enjoyed watching it
Awesome thank you!
A Montblanc with an anchor tattoo. Now I want that pen!
“sprezzatura” is an interesting concept.
Thanks for this video!
Thanks so much for watching this.
This is such a wonderful video- you made my day!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you liked it. I was worried how it might be perceived. Thanks!
Hi.. what a great idea! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Thank you so much for thinking of it! Wanted to say I especially loved the Hero yellow cloisonné… I’ve remembered it great find 🤩. However so many of the pens stood out as memorable. Thanks again
I’m the husband…Seconded!!!!
Thanks so much for watching this! Helen and I will be working together again very soon. Thanks!
Among many things, you both were hilariously cool in this video 😎😂 you both made this highly entertaining! ~ bravo 🇬🇧
Thank you very very much! We both appreciate it.
Great fun! You two are so adorable together. ❤
And, as soon as i saw it, I thought 'That's the most Steve McQueen pen of all'. I mean, i could really see him writing with it. Steve is a very good benchmark of cool, though I would normally use Alain Delon 😍
Purple Noon for the win! I cannot argue! I am so glad you enjoyed this. it’s obvious how much I adore her.
@@HemingwayJones ...and how much she adores you!
18:00 dangg that's sooo smooth lol. great video, a joy to watch!
Hey, thanks!
Really fun video. My question is: How did you get a wife that buys you such cool pens?
Haha yes good question
I do not know. Super lucky! She is the best! Thanks for watching.
Cool video! Great chuckles!
Thanks so much!
This was super fun! I laughed out loud several times during the video. You two are adorable! ❤ Also, the Schaffer pen is definitely one Steve McQueen would carry. 😎
Thanks very much! I am so glad you enjoyed this. It means a lot. Love that Shaeffer. It doesn’t get enough love in my collection.
Helen is correct, the brown orchid, Benu is cool 😎 I love mine ❤
I love it too! But cool… We did put it in that category.
Such a fun video! I've watched twice because I've been traveling and didn't have a chance to watch the whole thing when it went up. I'm totally with Helen on all her choices, especially on old Mrs E95S! 😂 Bring Helen on more often. She's rad! Not that you aren't HJ because you totally are! The laughter was contagious and the photos at the end were so lovely!
Thanks so much! I just read this comment to her and she loved it! We need to do something again soon. Thanks so much for your kind encouragement.
Very COOL video! Really enjoyed it. Your necklace is very cool Mrs. Jones.
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. She said thanks for the kind words on the necklace.
You saved the coolest and best one for last. The silver Sheaffer Legacy ❤️ is my clear favorite of this particular parade of pens. What nib size do you have on it?
Thanks very much! It is a medium. I did do a review in the early days of the Channel. Love that one.
Cool episode. Definitely something different and interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
Definitely a cool video. Now, when I put a fountain pen out of rotation, I'm going to do the cat thing.
Haha! Awesome! Thanks for that! Helen thinks it’s funny too.
@@HemingwayJones you are a lovely couple.
Great video! Love the perspectives … very entertaining. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This video was absolutely brilliant! Although I do think Steve McQueen would carry a Parker 51 or (sorry) a Lamy 2000.
Thanks very much! I am so glad you enjoyed this. Stay tuned on one of those pens!...!
I really enjoyed this video and hope to see more with both of you giving your opinions about all things pen and pen-related.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. We are looking to do more together.
LOL sparkles can be cool... I have a Benu Talisman Unicorn that ✨️ and is very cool... Glad to see Helen... this video is very cool
Thanks Ceit! So glad you enjoyed it! I was worried about this one.
What a great video idea I look forward to this returning
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I love the chemistry and back and forth you guys have.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching this one!
1. A fun exercise, and a new way to look at your pens. Of course it leads to disagreements. For instance I would put both the E95s and the Carène in Cool, and the 823 and Benu in Not Cool.
2. I think the Sailors in unusual colors are all cool, though I only have one, the Pro Gear in Winter Sky. And all the Franklin-Christophs in pure colors (other than black) are cool, of which I have three. Finally, my two ultra-slim pens are cool, the Lamy CP1 and the old Sailor Candy. The Candy is quite ridiculously thin, such that its dedicated cartridge looks like some kind of joke, almost like a toothpick. My 42 other pens are Not Cool.
3. I've been pondering for a couple years getting a Sailor anchor tattoo. Maybe while my wife is in the Alps, making lace...
Haha! Sailor Tattoo Club! Awesome. Thanks for watching and being a big part of this Channel.
This was a great video! Fun to see the pens looked at from a different point of view (cool/not cool) and your wife is so cool! Glitter and unicorn go in the cool department, yessss!!!
Thanks to you both for making this video!
Thanks so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
I just picked up the exact Himalayan with flex and absolutely love it
You have chosen wisely!
FANTASTIC!!! Hey there, Mrs. HW (Helen)! Thanks for going through these pens and letting us know BOTH of your thoughts!
Thanks so much! She is reading comments! Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel! Really enjoyed the J. Herbin episode but this one sold me! Helen is delightful. I am looking forward to catching up with the past episodes and watching for new ones.
Thanks so much! appreciate the kind words and I'll pass this on to Helen. We are going to do something together again very soon. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching the interaction between the two of you. I do demand a recount on the Jones' vote that the Waterman Carene is not cool. 😊 Great video as always!
Thanks so much, My Friend! I am so glad that you enjoyed it. Wish you all the best always!
Here's another vote for the Waterman Carene as cool - mine!
Great video! I only disagree with the Sailor 1911, because my 1911S in "Wicked Witch of the West" is the coolest pen. Gorgeous color and a smooth writer. It's a purple gray that reminds me of the London Scottish 🏴 regiments "Hodden Gray" kilts. That's why I renamed it "the Scottish pen".
Well sure, that is a Wicked Witch..! So cool! Sounds wonderful. Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve been watching you a while and really love your videos - but this is the one that made me push the subscribe button! Love the interaction between you and your wife - this video is VERY COOL ❤
Thank you so so much! This means the world to me.
I was sad to not see the Conway Stewart Churchill with lever fill. In my opinion the pen with such a rich history, retro look, and that lever fill in this day and age elevates it. Not to mention how well it writes. Mine is the black with lever speaking from experience. Also slightly biased. None the less fun to watch.
That is an awesome pen! Perhaps there will be a Part 2?!
Fun video! I enjoyed hearing from Helen. But I have to disagree with you on the Pilot E95s. This is a pen that Don Draper from Mad Men would carry, and who is cooler than Don Draper? The E95s is Mid Century Modern personified, and not a Gramma pen at all. I do realize this is just a game... Let's see Helen again sometime!
I will definitely bring her back again soon! Thanks so much for joining in the fun. It’s all subjective and I still love all these pens.
I love that Cartier. I will be lurking for one of those... I have to agree with the Mrs. the pumpkin latte is not cool. Honestly, a brown pen can never be cool. ;-D I had a Schaeffer pen/pencil set but never got the fountain pen. Even back in those days they weren't even to score. Whoever said it in chat was right, Helen does class the place up
She certainly does! She is awesome. Thanks for the great comment. I love the controversial take on Brown pens!
Yeah, the Cartier Diablo was super cool in that color. And yes, brown pens can never be cool!
Awesome vid y’all are hilarious. I like how this shows you can be loved without being cool haha
I think that goes for me too! Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it.
how fun, thanks for sharing
Thanks for being here!
Totally enjoyed this! Although.. I'll never look at my e95s the same way again, lol. :)
She really ruined the vibe on that one, but she was so articulate and well reasoned about it. thanks so much! I appreciate you being here and watching.
I don't know... I think it was the harsh truth we all needed to hear. Helen is right! I just need to add a bag of Werthers to my purse and I'll be in official nana-territory. 🤣@@HemingwayJones
A lot of fun thank you both
Thanks so much! We have a new one with Helen coming up!
I do believe the criteria was changing though out this video. Which is cool. Since cool is subjective anyway right? Thanks for a fun look at pens.
Most definitely evolving! Not an exact science. Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Carhatt polo shirts not only have pockets, but they have a pen slot inside the pocket which is a perfect fit for my Laban Solar - in orange - which is cool in an anti-cool thing - same color as my first car - a '73 VW Thing in Orange which was very cool in an anti -cool way!
I cannot take issue with any of that. Thanks!
Interesting. I definitely agreed with everything that went in the "not cool" category, most of them beautiful, functional, but not standouts. The TWSBI Vac700R Iris is gorgeous and eye-catching. I like Benus for their creativity and because they write so very well. And I'm so grateful the glitter can't escape from the resin and make a mess (every mom has glitter memories). Really enjoyed the selections from the family album at the end. Really fun video. What a team you two make!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words. This one was so fun for us.
Very Entertaining, Amazing Assortment, and Helen's reference to Jinhao as rebellious - I'am going Jinhao X159 hunting right away :)
Thanks so much! She was spot on with that!
Loved the video. I learned so much in the last half hour. Keep up the work!
Thank you!
Jinhao 9019 clear demonstrater with a fantastic number 8 medium nib, my pen of the year.
That sounds very nice! Thanks for watching.
In 1963 President Kennedy, a cool guy, offered his personal pen a MB 149 to German Chancellor Adenauer to sign something. The MB 149 became far more famous, cool, edgy in diplomatic and intellectual circles and for me is cool. The Esterbrook’s with swappable nibs and that reliable Parker 45 are also so cool!! The M800 Pelikan Brown and Black cap cool, Kaweco Dia way cooler than my AL-sport, Sheaffer Targa with cool inlaid nib! Pilot Falcon and Justus 95, MB Bohème, so Cool. Uncool most TWSBI, Jinhao’s, Pilot 823 and Preppy, E95S,
Love it! Great choices. Targa is always cool. Well done.
I think if you do something like this again, you should have it where you pick pens you think are cool and your wife picks pens that she thinks I’d cool and have the viewers vote on which one of you have the best cool pens.
That could be fun. Thanks! And thanks for watching.
Great video. I enjoyed it a lot. I appreciate your effort. Great couple.
Thank you so much!
Famously, Steve McQueen wore a Rolex Daytona. My favorite nibs are a softish medium on a 90s Delta, any of the Pilot WA nibs, and the Schon DSGN monoc nib. I’ve walked on Etna (cooled) lava. Love the Cartier. TWSBI is cool. Perhaps there should be a separate Bauhaus cool, where form follows function, and it works great. This would include the 823. Almost all inlaid nibs are cool! VPs are cool and Bauhaus cool, their design is simple and incredibly clever. I like the transparent blue 9019, though their nibs often need some work. BENU-s work because they have really wet Schmidt nibs, and they are ridiculously over the top design wise. Lamy is Bauhaus. Schaefer Legacy is mega cool. Thank you.
Hello My Friend! Nice to hear from you!
Did he? I thought that was Paul Newman. He had a legendary Panda Dial Daytona. Steve McQueen, I believe, was famous for the Heuer Monaco. He may have had one too. Should have in any case. Your choice in pens and nibs are flawless, My Friend!
@@HemingwayJones yes more famous for the Heuer. I seem to remember he owned a Daytona. The Newman Daytona is of course famous and incredibly expensive.
HJ is so preppy and buttoned up. Mrs. HJ let’s them all hang out.
That’s us. Thanks for watching.
This was a cool video! I am just starting to get into fountain pens and they are all cool to me! Thanks for a great video.
Thanks very much for being here! I appreciate it.
I completely disagree with her on the E95. I could totally see James Bond pulling one our of his front suite pocket, though his might blow up or something like that lol. Though she could just be reacting to that color way, I hate the gold/maroon, the black and gold looks way "COOLER". Great video by the way.
Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed it. We had a blast making it.
That was fun 🙈 you’re missing out on Pelikan
We do a Pelikan in Part 2, Coming Soon! Thanks for the kind words.
Witty reparte is true gold
Thanks. It was so fun.
It was a pleasure to look at your very personal "cool fountainpen charts". I was particularly pleased that the Twsbi Iris is cool. I use a Diamond 580 in everyday life and have often been asked what kind of cool pen it is. Most people around me do not use fountain pens and some do not even use an ordinary pen. Only smartphone, tablet computer or notebooks. And then usually comes the moment when they ask for a pen and give them, for example, my „go to“-TWSBI, Kaweco Sport AL, Rotring artpen or Lamy Safari; some people are then surprised that I write with a fountain pen. By the way, handmade fountain pens from India (acrylic or ebonite*) are also cool for my taste. Some of them can even be used as an eye dropper.
* Ebonite also used for woodwind instrument mouthpiece.
Love this video!
Thank you!
Although "cool" can be subjective, I found I tended to agree more with Mrs HJ. However, liking a pen can be a different matter - some pens don't hit cool, but you like or love them anyway, and you enjoy how they look, write and feel in your hand. But what I liked the most was the interaction between Mr. AND Mrs. HJ. They can agree or differ, but even if they differ they can understand and respect the other's opinion.
Helen makes an excellent case! This was all in good fun and we had a blast making this. I am so glad you enjoyed it. We are looking for another project and it may be just pulling out a bunch more pens! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words.
That Sheaffer is a pen Steve McQueen would totally use, and James Bond, and maybe even Han Solo, and Batman, so yeah, it’s cool.
And it’s Shiny!
Fun vid. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Split decision: create two more piles - he thinks it's cool & she knows it's cool.
I trust Helen's judgements.
Everyone does! Good call! Next week is part 2!
Montblanc 149 douchey! I've always thought of it as a lawyer, not as a midlife crisis. More of a Mercedes (staid) than a Corvette (midlife crisis and a bit douchey). But it's also like a Rolex. Classy, douchey or staid, depending on who's wearing it. But then, isn't it really the case that the man makes the clothes, not the other way around? The man or woman makes the pen.
I think the Sheaffer inlaid nib is one of the coolest, most beautiful nibs ever created. The black Targa my parents gave me is just a wicked cool looking pen. I never use it (it has a broad nib; it makes me feel like I'm writing with a Sharpie), but I do love it. I wanted to buy that Ystudio pen, but I held one and suddenly felt like I was back in grade school, stuck with the pencil that was too short. Definitely cool, though. Like my grandmother, who would have pulled a pen out of her bag and wielded it like a sword. Anything in Grandma's bag would have been cool. Even a tube of lipstick, which is what the E95S looks like to me.
Thanks for watching. This was super fun. it was more interesting for me to learn her perspective on these instruments. Your Targa sounds amazing! Love Sheaffer.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones are definitely Cool!
Thank you so much!
This 60 year old agrees with Helen...the Twsbi in Iris is 100% cool!
Helen is the best! We just filmed something new together.
What a great video you both were great.
Thank you so much!
