    Faber Castell is one of the most under-rated brands. Love the e-motion in particular.

  • @jpfanfic4226

    Haa! I did the exact same thing by filling the backless cartridge and got ink all over my pants at work. You are not alone, my friend.

      I think it's for cleaning purposes. So you can put it on a syringe. Probably those syringe sizes are easier to find in German stores.

    I got the Faber castell grip for my daughter years ago, she still uses it regularly. I do prefer it to the Lamy Safari. A great starter pen!

  • @norissima95
    @norissima95 7 месяцев назад +16

    I always thought that the bottomless cartridge is a placeholder. You can put it in the back of the barrel to prevent the real ink cartridge from getting lose and moving.

    • @animula6908
      @animula6908 7 месяцев назад +6

      It is, and it wouldn’t work for that if you filled it first, so I understand and appreciate why they leave the back off. But wish they left the plug in the hole to keep us all from learning while trying to fill it 😂 rite of passage for fountain pen collectors.

    The Hexo was the first Faber-Castell that I got. Loved the shape and size and then got the Ambition. The build qualities are quite nice. Once again great review!

    These pens look lovely! It’s why I watch you-your attention to detail with the pens and inks is amazing. I had some fountain pens sitting in a drawer, and thanks to you, I now know how to fix them and enjoy writing with them again. This new hobby has brought me so much joy, and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you!

  • @danmagoo
    @danmagoo 4 месяца назад +1

    Great reviews, thank you! I laughed at your mishap with squirting ink into the "bottomless" cartridge, because I did the exact same thing with my Faber Castell Hexo. I am impressed with the nib, and wanted to watch this review to consider another FC pen.

    I just wanted to say that I appreciate your content, congrats on 30k I went through a lot of youtubers who do videos on fountain pens but your handwriting and the content, not to mention your ability to fix some of the pens is admirable. Keep up the good work bud.

  • @dorothyevans3864
    @dorothyevans3864 7 месяцев назад +1

    Great review, thanks! The Grip was the pen that converted me to using fountain pens as my everyday, everywhere, writer. I’d never had a pen so comfortable and seemingly made for how I hold my pens! It was my gateway to the wider world of fountain pens and I’m having a ball exploring, even though I’m still in the entry way. I’ve got the Ambition on my wishlist but had never seen the Neo before - I can tell you though it’s love at first sight! Thanks again 😊

  • @vimvimvigor
    @vimvimvigor 7 месяцев назад

    Wow! These are beautiful pens. Thanks, as always, for putting them on my radar. Ambition is particularly fun. We have fountain pens made from lava, but I somehow never thought about wood. Amazing!
    Thanks, as always, for your work in bringing these things to our attention. You always do great work!

    @walthuntsman 7 месяцев назад

    Congratulations on reaching 30,000 subscribers. I agree with those who love the look of the Neo Slim. I think that would be my first choice of these three pens were I to have that choice. The Ambition would be a close second. I'm not so much into triangular grips because of how I hold a pen. So that would be my third choice, though I would be happy to win any of these pens.

  • @michaelsoutham9395
    @michaelsoutham9395 7 месяцев назад

    Hi there Mr Doodle, I'm an Australian living in rural Thailand. It's next to impossible to buy fountain pens such as Fabre Castel here. Whilst there are some local online options allowing you to puchase a limited range of Chinese pens anything else is virtually off limits. I've recently returned from Australia with a selection of new pens, ink and notebooks sufficient to keep me entertained until my next trip back to Australia. I'm always surprised by the number of fountain pen reviewers that seem to have next to no ability to write cursive that is readable. It's obvious that many are trying hard to write fluidly with litte success. Your hand writing is a natural version of cursive that is obviously fluid and unpretentious.Enjoy your informative reviews. Keep up the good work!

    Congrats on 30,000. That's crazy. I've been here most of the way and you've done a great job.
    I've never had a Faber Castell so this is super interesting to me. I'm not sure why, but who knows, maybe I get lucky and get introduced to a new brand.
    Congrats again.

  • @haroldmarenger3435
    @haroldmarenger3435 7 месяцев назад

    Congratulations on 30k subscribers! Thank you for the video, and for sacrificing your clothes and carpet for us viewers! 🙂 All kidding aside, I had an ink mishap the other day and found Amodex stain remover worked in getting the stain out. All of my Faber Castell fountain pens have come with two cartridges, one with black ink and one that is empty/bottomless-I thought it was odd at first, too.
    I (sometimes) use the bottomless cartridge as a spacer in the barrel when I have only one full cartridge (small side facing the back of the barrel). I also use it in cleaning nib sections. I connect a bulb syringe to the back of the cartridge so it easily fits into (most) nib sections for flushing. I can also use it in other pens that are tough to clean (e.g., Montblanc Bohem). I do the same with a Lamy cartridge; I cut off the back of a spent cartridge and fit a bulb syringe to the back of the cartridge, making it easier to flush out my Lamy pens.

  • @joesouthwell4080
    @joesouthwell4080 7 месяцев назад

    What I like about Faber Castell is their pens are some of the rare ones that have a completely flat and straight side. This allows them to rest closed on a flat surface without wobble. Great video!

  • @arcboy2011
    @arcboy2011 7 месяцев назад

    That Neo Slim Nib look very interesting. Reminds me of the Falcon nib. Thanks for all you do for the hobby! We watch you because you have a great engineering mind and your reviews are fair and reasonable. You look out for us the consumer and we really appreciate that.

  • @Teddlesfilms
    @Teddlesfilms 7 месяцев назад

    Great, lively, honest video of 3 interesting pens. I don't have a Faber Castell fountain pen, but used their technical pens and found them excellent so a Loom was always a planned future buy. Now I can see that I'm going to have to try these too. Your word classy is what I have always felt about the brand.

  • @williamprice424

    Always a pleasure, DB, to listen to your reviews, so a triple review is a special treat. I have more pens than I can possibly use enough to get to know them all well as I would like, but I don't have much experience with Faber Castell... another case of lifelong learning.

    Hey Doodle Bud great video. I’m a fan of the FC fountain pens thanks totally to your influence. The FC steel nibs are as good if not better than many gold ones. A really good make of pen perhaps underrated here in the UK. Thank you

    @themisterchristie 7 месяцев назад

    I love seeing your take on pens. With your approach from the view of an engineer it is a refreshing change from a lot of other reviewers. The nib on the Neo Slim looks similar in design to the nib on the Pilot Falcon which has a nib that curves down too.
