The Fountain Pentel is a funny little pen. It’s not quite like anything else I’ve used. It’s got a fibre nib but it’s shaped more like a fountain pen. The Pentel website contradicts itself a bit as it puts it in the “plastic/fibre pens” category but describes it as the “Original ‘delta’-shaped nib fountain pen”…. Read more »
Well, in a word: No. But you probably already knew that. I mean, it’s just a felt tip. A very good one mind, but I just wanted to clear that up before you read this whole post and get to the end wondering what the magic is about. This pen is pretty similar to the… Read more »

After intending to carry on making videos after my first attempt, I’ve been meaning to do more, but have not been sure what would suit a video, rather than a blog post. I bought some stuff form Cult Pens a while ago and as I haven’t had a chance to review any of them yet… Read more »
