Pelikan M800 is suitable for real man, but Mont Blac looks more pleasant for women...

Very good shotout. Which pen will you recommend to buy, m800, m1000 or sheaffer legacy? Thank you.

sllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

Quick question Stephen: I am browsing for an M1000 on ebay and I found a bunch of M1000s listed as "new" at ridiculously low prices. In box but previously open. Shipping from Albareto Italy. Like 150 US$ for one. Are they a scam?

Hi Brown, it seems want a Pelikan M800/146 or some vintage flex pen for my collection.. later. In Indonesia we dont have an dealer for Pelikan so i need order online. But the problem was, since Christmas in Indonesia Montblanc authorized dealer have a massive discount, 40% discount all item and 50% selected (which make me buy a starwalker and 4 ink bottle). Im actually not planning for buying 146 now (maybe later ill find a preowned, a vintage one or i buy m800 first), but the discount was so tempting. What do think, should i go for it?

I like your vids man, but I may have to unsubscribe if I hear "mun-BLA" one more time.
;-)

So who won the shootout, would be nice if you had a decent conclusion at the end.

I love that his random word was, "Slut." hahahah

True story: I was watching Larry King interview Neil deGrasse Tyson and Neil said he likes to spend his money on pens..etc.. so Larry said " your'e a Montblonc fan" and Neil said "I actually prefer a Pelikan"...to which my mind was blown. I never thought twice about pens. So I youtubed it..and sure as shit THIS FUCKING VIDEO CAME UP!! I can't even believe a video for this exists...much less that it got over 10,000 FUCKING VIEWS...God Bless America...and God Bless youtube. I hope you pen nerds are enjoying this.

Slut.

Thanks. Love your shootouts. Please do more.

So how do you watch apples? Because I normally just sit one on my desk and stare at it, similar to how I would watch a video. But sometimes, when I'm feeling kooky, I'll place the apple in weird places and stare at it out of the corner of my eye.

I was eating a raw potatoe while watching this video like an apple. It was a good potatoe!

Hi Dr. Brown, i enjoy viewing all of your videos: they are informative, lucid and well executed. Maybe a few suggestions, feel free to ignore them: a shootout between the m800 and visconti opera elements, and in the writing samples, maybe you could include some mathematical symbols. Thanks once again for the great videos

I have both...Frankly the piston in the 146 is a bit of a pain compared to the Pelikan. I prefer the regular Montblanc Meisterstuck Classique to the 146. I prefer the Pelikan M805 I have to everything else ever.

Hey there! A month ago I dropped my MB 146 and the feed broke. Then I took it to the repair shop and they put on a new feed, which is a different model. I guess the old one was made of ebonite, and the new model is made of plastic. It's bigger and, as I could see on the video, it looks just like yours. Although the feed looks more fragile, it's surprisingly wetter! Don't you bend the tines of your feed when pushing it out of the nib? It seems to be a dangerous maneuver. :]

Somebody had to do it! Of course, two great pens. I own the 146, unfortunately I don't have the Pelikan (yet). I too enjoy the 146 more than my 149 although the latter is an amazing pen with a spectacular nib too. I can't pick a winner between the M800 and the 146. They're two great pens and the ideal is having them both. If I had to choose only one I'd probably go with the MB though. Btw, Quink inks are not bad at all, They behave quite well with most of my pens :)

I have both pens. Excellent ones! I think M800 has a better nib than 146 (sometimes 146 skips some symbols). A great review!

Today I came across a new brand for me , Onoto. I'm very impress by the vintage model like ONOTO De La Rue MAMMOTH from early 20s...the size of the nib is huge. Did you have the opportunity to try one of the Onoto's Nibs? Thanks for your time and information. I am new on fountain pen and because of your channel I purchased few pens and I became very interested. I looking forward to see the new videos over the weekends ^_^

Would you please kindly let me know what is the model/name of the Rhodia pad? The quick absorbance of the paper may have some advantage for certain purpose. Thank you.
