My Faber-Castell Loom is a daily writer and is incredible !!
I am happy to read you like yours. I read many a rave about the Loom. The price was right for me. I bought one. Don't like it much. Boring nib (mine is a broad, which does offer some joy) and quite uncomfortable in the hand. Still, I enjoy having it always inked up with Akkerman SBRE Brown ink, which is the perfect match for my pen's color. I wouldn't enjoy it even as much as I do, though, had I paid $240 for it! (P.S. That is also the price in US dollars. Eek!)
I have the Faber Castell Ambition, which is the same body design but for $100 rather than $240. It has a different cap and nib, but it is an amazing pen, and worth checking out in my opinion if the $240 price tag is a deal breaker for someone. Great video!
After owning pretty much a fountain pen from each house, the best by far is faber castell. Quality+writing quality+cool designs, doesn't get any better than that. My all time favorite fountain pen is the magnum
They made some phenomenal pens!
Faber Castell nibs have never disappointed me either. As one who prefers Japanese nibs, Faber Castell does a great job.
Excellent review, very in depth and nice pen!
Damn you. I've tried to wean myself off my pen addiction, but I found your channel and now I have the Gravitas stainless steel pocket pen (in nerd heaven), and now you got me heading towards my pen stores to check this out. Damn, damn, damn!😂
Lol all I can say is I hope you enjoy your new pen 😂
Doodlebud, I have the same colour GVFC Tamitio in M which I got 6 months earlier and since then has been in my constant rotation. This is definitely a pen to have for business meetings, a quick in and out. On writing, the medium nib is juicy enough for my taste. Nice review as always!
Oh good to hear it's been working well for you. Had the right amount of class but not over the top
Wow, that’s such a fine pen to have 🎉
Just ordered this in midnight blue from your store in Canada, and used your discount code! Thank you, so much!
Oh wow that was quick! LOL
Thanks DB for the great review. I always appreciate your engineering read on fountain pens. I have three GvFC Tamitio fountain pens: Stone Grey , India Red and black (like the one you are reviewing). I have kept at least two inked and on my desk in a pen stand since first writing with one. I haven’t had a problem with drying out with daily use… but if I’m out of town for a week one may be slow to start of will require dipping in some water to get it going. This is when they are in the pen stand, nib up (drying usually happens with the one with the cartridge instead of a converter). I haven’t noticed drying problems with them stored on their side.
Thanks for sharing your findings on dry out :)
I have had Faber-Castell pens in the past, but never a Graf Faber-Castell. There is a difference I am sure in the quality of the pen. Considering it is hand made, as well as the fit and finish, I will be looking for this one. It is a bit thin but considering the size of your hands and how you enjoyed using it, it is certainly worthy of consideration.
Great review.
I have a Timitio Finewriter, and enjoy using it.
Sounds amazing!
Very pretty pen. I'm glad to know the lack of a grip section isn't really a problem.
Works for me no problem but I'm sure there will be some who it will bother.
Excellent. GVFC is a great manufacturer. everything is spot on and well made. Even though though its pens are expensive, I think they are worth it. Much better made than some other high end pens. All great writers as well.
Hey it's the Doppler effect. GvFC makes some fantastic pens. Most are just so thin, and small for me. The gold nib I tried was exquisite, and Faber Castell just makes the best steel nibs.
Wow. That snake holder is great! Where can we find it?
I thought there were only three or four "stationary stores" left in the GTA (Toronto) and all of them a prohibitive PITA to drive to, which is significant when shipping ink by Canada Post in winter. Never heard of Blesket until this video, but what a coincidence -- it is less than 5 km from where I work!! So I'm placing my order today for pickup this week (they have a rare BP I've been hunting for months, and 2 RO blues, in stock!) and of course shall disclose how I found them (regardless of your discount code) so thank you Doodlebud!! 😀
That's awesome you I've close by! Sounds like you got some good finds 👍
Faber-Castell make very nice steel nibs, so I'm not surprised this one was so good. One of our club members who is/was a professional calligrapher bought the calligraphy set version of the Tamitio (which comes with three wide nibs -- 1.1 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.8 mm ) and he liked it so I figured it wrote well. I noticed that Blesket sells the calligraphy kit on their site. Anyway, thanks for a great review and a sneak peek at your song lyrics (which immediately reminded me of Spinal Tap for some reason lol) -- you're a budding genius!😉
If you google "Taste the Buscuit" you'll see the song. Was an Easter egg to see if there's anyone out there familiar with Toasters & Moose 😂
@@Doodlebud :facepalm:
@@Doodlebud Just realized I posted these comments -- and a couple of other recent comments -- under my other YT username (retro51fan) lol, oops
Had not heard of this one. Think it will be my first Faber Castell pen. The price is all over the place but I found some around the 120€ range here in Germany. Great review as always.
Bought the Stone grey version with an EF nib after watching this. It can today and I’m thoroughly impressed. I have Diamine earl grey inside, and it’s a fantastic writer. The weight and balance feels great.
Great video. Didn’t realise that GVFC made stainless Steel nibs. I have 3 FC pens with stainless steel nibs all excellent. GVFC gold nib pens are I think expensive. Seeing your video I may look at one of these if and when I’m back in the market for a new high end pen. I do prefer a gold nib but am mindful of an earlier DB video where gold can be disproportionately pricey and where the gold element is roughly 53% of the metal content of the nib. Thank you for a great video. D
Ahhh, another nice one, Doodlebud! And you just made me remember the Hexo as well that I wanted to look into! Well they will have to wait for a little while longer. I just bought the newest Peter Draws pen that he did in collaboration with Goldspot Pens. They did a 1,000 pen run again. This time 100 black with gold fill in the carving of Peter’s doodles that are in the entire pen body. And they did 900 of the black with silver color fill in the carving. I pulled the trigger the minute I saw the Goldspot Short here on YT for it a few hours ago. I’m glad I did. The gold filled were gone I think the first or second day. Idk how many of the silver filled they have left. I also splurged on the Peter Pen Rickshaw Bagworks Peter Pen Artist Edition coozy case and 3 pen coozy as well that are the same black and white doodle Peter did for the design on the box. So I’m looking forward to all that.
But I digress. I have to keep this pen on a list along with the Hexo and others. Because if I don’t they may get pushed to the back of my mind again. Weew. 😆 That’s my brain on pens!
Thanks, as always, for the clear and honest review. Cheers
I saw those new Peter Draws Edition! Hope you love it
@@Doodlebud thanks much. I hope so. I’ll let ya know when I get it! Cheers
I own a few FB fountain pens including the Neo Slim and I think the Timitio may be a bit better choice, if for no other reason than its audio quality! My Neo Slim dries out after a day or so, though, so there's that, too. Thanks for the great review!
Nice review. When anyone holds a Graf von Faber-Castell pen, they realize they're holding a quality pen, and that includes how it writes. Initially I too was concerned about most Graf pens being on the narrower side, but with their weight and balance - and that great nib - I have no trouble at all. It''s not a "precious resin" (i.e., plastic) pen, so it doesn't have to be gripped like one. Hopefully you'll treat yourself to a Graf with a gold nib at some point in time...and you will love it...their gold nibs are superb.
The German word "Graf"is the equivalent of the English aristocratic title, "Count." And yes, there is a current living Graf von Faber-Castell who heads the company. So it's his name and his family history that's on the line with every pen they produce. It's not like many other pen companies that are owned by large conglomerates. Pelikan, for example, has been owned by a Malaysian financial conglomerate since 1978. That's not to diminish Pelikan' in any way, and I happily own a number of Pelikan pens. But with Graf von Faber-Castell we're really talking about a higher level of quality pen construction and manufacturing, including the in-house production of all their nibs.
Their much more moderately priced standard line, Faber-Castell, also makes a number of pens that are attractive, well-made, and with probably the best steel nibs being made today. I own five or six of them and they are all without exception wonderful writers. If you want to discover how well a quality steel nib can write, treat yourself to a Faber-Castell or a Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio.
I have a GVFC Classic in Ebony with a M gold nib. The tines were too tight and made the nib zing which I found very annoying. I have too many new pens to return any pens to my rotation, but I’ll have to give the Classic another shot at some point.
Oh man, get that nib adjusted or DIY if you know how. Their gold nibs are amazing!
When you rolled that pen across the desk, I initially thought it sounded like an A10 using it's GAU-8 cannon. It sounds exactly like that.
I was thinking a semi truck with the Jake breaks
How is the backweighting when posted? I find most thick metal caps throw off the balance when posted and makes it really awkward to write with.
I chatted about it in the review. For my hand size, its not a problem
FC nibs are individually finished for writing texture and flow, including entry level pens like that Hexo.
I have a FC ambition with the F nib size. I was wondering is there any difference in writing between ambition F and tamitio F? Can anyone help please?
It took me a while to find the pen online searching for Timitio. :) Would be nice if you compared it in detail to the two FC you show at 08:10.
Haha. Sounds like a Porsche on your green mat! Faber Castell fountain pens don't get alot of shout-outs. Would you agree, DB?
I have an Essentio model, and it is smooth. It's funny how the FP Reddit Community chooses some "hot pen of the moment," and everyone goes out and buys it to be cooool 😆
Yeah they are fantastic pens but don't seem to get as much attention. Their styling is pretty consistent so I guess perhaps they don't appeal to as many folk?
@Doodlebud DB...Yeah, the styling isn't that traditional glossy black cigar shape that alot of people buy [IE: Montblanc, Higher-end Pilots, Sailors, etc]. It is definitely unique styling.
The only problem I have had with all faber-castells with snap caps is they tend to become loose after a bit and start rotating on barrel with the least resistance, the snap remains somewhat intact though..
good to know. fwiw my loom has never developed this problem although it is the cap that takes the greatest pull force to get off of any pen in my collection - i can imagine an older person with arthritis throwing the thing against a wall after awhile
Mine came in a Special box with a warranty that got signed and stamped by the shop
Doodlebud I just bought a brand new Pilot Fermo in Diamond Silver finish in a Medium nib. Have you ever tried one of those? It's basically a Vanishing Point, but instead of pushing for the nib to come out and in you twist the end. I think Pilot discontinued them though so they are kind of hard to get a hold of now. I love this pen so much. the 18K nib is so smooth I gasped. haha
Haven't tried one but have had a look online. They just never did it for me but glad to hear you're enjoying yours 👍
@@Doodlebud I want this as opposed to a regular VP because it's just a little bit different and that's what I liked about it! The writing feeling is pretty spot on to a VP, but the pen itself is a hair thinner than the VP it might be more along the lines of the decimo. It's not as girthy as the VP. But it is a touch longer when the nib is out than the VP or Decimo.
Amazing review! I feel like Faber-Castell and Graf von Faber-Castell deserve more credit!
If someone wants something similar, this feels like a fancier version of the Ambition!
That being said... the fingerprint magnet is no joke, always keep a piece of cloth close hehehehe!
Ayy, furry fountain pen enjoyer?
@@elith6930 Exactly! Here I am o/
@@matty6244 very cool 😎
Faber Castell makes excellent nibs. They are hard to beat. I have a FC Loom that writes better and smoother than some of my more expensive pens.
Where'd you get the snake? I thank you in advance for the answer. 😀

Those shots of you rolling the pen made me giggle like a school girl! You’re the best DB!
Only channel where you would find that glory, lol
I took the barrel off when I first got it to ink it up and it rolled away. It made that sound & it instantly got my attention LOL
Sounds like a plane taking off haha
Still a great review though! Just got a gaver Castel ballpoint e-motion and am in love with it! Definitely gonna check this model out though it’s nice!
Damn, a pen that purrs
😺
I have this pen its the black edition, which is a full black fountain pen, these are amazing pens but i have an ambition by Faber castell and they are pretty close in everyway except the cost.
Oh wow that black one is so damn sexy!
Tomatillo? Manuel? You're on a roll, lol
I could have this totally backwards but I'm fairly certain that Faber castell pens have Bock nibs and for the Graf von Faber Castell pens they use jowo. I know they use nibs from both. I haven't tried to swap them but the grip feed/nib looks pretty close to a kaweco sport's... Just unlike kaweco as a whole every Grip I've bought wrote amazing on arrival. I'm lucky if kaweco would write at all
Either way they do nib work to every nib because I prefer the Grip almost to the Safari. I find the Grip way more comfortable... Sadly just not as durable. Either way I love FC/GvFC! I just wish they made pens long enough for grown up hands to use unposted.
It kinda looks like one of those eye liners that have a cap with a built-in sharpener
Timitio is one of my favorite hot sauces.
Oh yeah!!!! LOL Forgot about that stuff. Suddenly I was TACOS! Soft shell course
When I become a banker, this is the pen I will use. If I then become a rich banker, I will upgrade to a Classic in ebony.
They have the Bentley ones 😍.... That would be the perfect rich banker pen
It ain't worth it. Trust me! Being a banker that is. Unless of course it was a joke, then good one. :)
@@ironmic9244 So I shouldn't get into high finance just for the pens? Wel then forget it!
@@ichirofakename Nah, just for the watches.
Dear Doodlebud,
You did the Appelboom did the Top 3 pens series. I'd like to formally request at your pleasure, to do a Top 3 pen brands and why?
A humble viewer,
Iron Mic
I could add that to the list of videos to do
BOOM
02/10/20 is 2nd October in the rest of the world. :)

Oh my: Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Calligraphy Set, 3 Nibs
It sounds amazing! Hahahaha!!! 😂😂😂
Doodlebud22 why not 22% 😁
They made it 22 to track which year they started the discount code. 22% would be amazing LOL
for a sec there I thought you just started ripping it...
Oh ok
Уважаемые коллеги. В чем разница между названиями Фабер Кастель и Граф фон Фабер Кастель.
Graf Von Faber Castell is the fine writing instrument line of Faber Castell. Like Acura is to Honda
Day Month Year
Hi Buddy! It is me again, my Lord I'm becoming quite an annoyance! I'll make it short and sweet this time. In German the word VON is to be prononced as if the V were an F... What you get is Graf "FUN" Faber-Castell! Isn't that a whole lot of fun?
Body is nice. Chrome cap... I'm not a fan. Hexo is my fav in black.
021020
If that’s a date it would be DDMMYY rather than MMDDYY.
Wow. First
Lovely pen but I honestly don't mind injection molded vs milled vs forged or whatnot. Pens where the body is more costly than the nib are just backwards and in my opinion one of the worst trends in the industry these past few years. See brands like Ystudio, Keras Kustoms, Tactile Turn, Stilform and others that have been popping up with high precision milled bodies and $5 Chinese nibs, costing more than a Sailor Pro Gear for instance.
I'm way too much of a hippie for that pen, but the review is nice anyway (o:
Have you ever reviewed a Benu pen?
Haven't gotten my hands on a Benu yet
@@Doodlebud Would love to hear your thoughts on them - one day (o:
If I get one I will most certainly do a review
This looks to me like an expensive F-C Ambition.with different branding. I have, and like very much the Ambition. Bigger? If so, okay.
But I'd be surprised if it wrote over $200 better than the Hongdian 1843 Navigator, which has a perfectly fine clip. The Hongdian is, of course, rather smaller.
the body design is virtually identical to the Faber Castell Ambition...disappointed to see that GVFC isnt doing much on the design front for the body
You do realise there are other GvFC models?
@@murkser4149 aye but I expect to see smth different considering it's 3x the price
Not for $240, not for $220 not even for $200, not a fan of how that section is setup, fingerprint magnet. I'll take the Esterbrook Estie Petrified Forest for $170. This one doesn't appeal to me in the least.. Hard pass.
You use a fp to write and the best in the business is faber castell
Graf von nibs made by ottohut
They are making best of best nibs
Even Their steel nibs write better than other company gold nibs
AVE??
Nope, I get that reference almost daily LOL
I had my suspicion too haha
Of all the "premium" pen brands FC is most disappointing so far due to their awkward designs, subpar quality (pens feel cheaply made), and unjustifiably high price for what you get 🙁
The design isnt for everyone, but I've never heard anyone complain that the pens are poor quality or feel cheap. The build quality on their pens is top notch
WAKE UP BABE, NEW DOODLEBUD VIDEO JUST GOT POSTED !!
ahem, i love your vids thank you doodlebud, keep making quality content ! oh also can you review the opus88 flora one day? its a interesting pen in my opinion !
If I get my hands on one I'll be sure to review it. So far I only have an Omar
