== Sailor Pens ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, Sailor medium. And it doesn't feel like a fine to me. I mean, it's fine in a medium, but I don't like fine nibs really of any kind in most cases. And whatever it is, probably just the absolute perfectness of Sailor, they feel a little bit more forgiving than a fine nib. They feel a little bit more forgiving than that to me. Because I don't like fine nibs, right, Western or Japanese. It's just not for me. But it feels, for me, I would say smoother than a fine, but still giving a fine line is the way I would describe it, I think. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I definitely think they're on the finer end of the medium spectrum in Japanese pens anyway. Yeah. But that's why I think it's like the perfect writing size for me. I think it's one of the most perfect nibs just for a stock nib around Sailor medium. It's just kind of... It might, you know... Right. It kind of has everything.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It might just be based upon the fact that they're just incredible, right? Yeah. So it's just like, it doesn't matter, like, you're going to like it anyway, right? Like... Right. It doesn't matter your typical preference, because it ain't one of these bad boys, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. All right. Super Nat wants to know, when is that handwriting is dead lady coming on the show? This was funny when we got this tweet a couple weeks ago. I thought I was going to die.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't think she is, because...

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know what? Honestly, at this point... I'm not going to ask her. At this point, I don't think I want to have this conversation again.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, the... So she sent me the book, right? I know. I know. And I read the book, and it was not good. And it would... The conversation would not go well.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is what I'm saying.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right? The premise of what she laid out, and how the style that the book was written in was... It would not go well in an interview, put it that way. There's no... There's no... I don't think we'd end up in a better place by having a conversation, put it that way.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Say it like you mean it, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I mean, like, I want to make friends. I want to understand, you know, where she's coming from. Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have an opinion on why this was done, and I'm going to keep it to myself. I have nothing to say more on that. All right. So next question. With last week's revelation about the Uniball refills, will you change your mind about the best multi-pins? In 2015, your favorite was the high-tech C. The Coleto has that change, trying to determine the best one to buy for an office setting. Coleto's still the best. It's got the best ink. It's got great colors. They work really well. They work better than the standard high-tech Cs for a lot of people, the 0.4mm Coleto. So I don't like the Uniball style fit as much because I don't like the barrel as much. The refills are good. You know, if you like that pen, the refills are really good. I just like the style and feel of the Coleto. I think they do it better than the style fit, although the style fit, I think, is still second. So it's a popular pen. Everyone really, really seems to like it. I still like the Coleto. All right. Last one, and I think I answered Ben on Twitter when he asked this, but I want to bring it up and get your opinion. But I think our answer is going to be the same. He says, I got my first TWSBI Eco Clear coming in the mail. What blue inks will look great sloshing around in it? You go first.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Rubber, Osta, Fire, and Ice.
