Editing The Pen Addict 294/transcript (section)

===What's With Retro 51?===
'''Brad:'''  All right so Tim the Valar wants to know.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Says I'm a long time found pen addict but I'm relatively new to the blog podcast an online community it's embarrassing question time Mike.
<br>'''Brad:'''  What's the deal with Retro 51.
<br>'''Brad:'''  What do I need to know where to why start.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Tim did deal.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Is that the Retro 51 is straight up the best role on the planet there's no better they are the best it is.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Wonderful from the refill perspectives of the refill that they use the Schmidt refill is excellent many pens use it I think night many more pens use it now because Retro 51 kind of popularized it as a as a refill and is is made it kind of it just something that many pens get bill around now because it is a wonderful smooth refill that that really puts a great line down the page love the refill so much it's it's.
<br>'''Brad:'''  It is.
<br>'''Myke:'''  A pan in which I have always been surprised at the amount of time so I can hand it to somebody and they use it and basically every person goes.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Whoa.
<br>'''Myke:'''  No matter how much of a panic that they are on the like typically at some I give this to people who are friends or family members all of people I meet at pen shows and now I can't really get this like comment what do I even need a good pen like like try this because the writer fifty one is close enough in style and you know mostly to it and shape and size depends that people have seen and used before.
<br>'''Myke:'''  But it feels incredible to use and it's like stars like twenty five dollars so what you need to know Tim is there are tons of Retro 51 designs said it might be something in there that you like but if I was gonna tell you what to stop get one of them breaks a fifty one lacquer addition just plain call a lack of pens that they make.
<br>'''Myke:'''  And just just drop like the twenty twenty five dollars it costs to get yourself one and trust me you're going to love it they're fantastic absolutely fantastic I am such a fan of their products because they always incredible quality and that just won the forty years time that's my S. that's that's the deal.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So I agree with that across the board especially on the recommendation just get the [[Tornado Lacquer Series] pick a color you want and and go with that the reason.
<br>'''Brad:'''  It's such a popular thing for us to discuss aside from all those things that Mike laid out what you're exactly right is based solved a problem in a no man's land price point.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So there's no competition in that area for someone who wants to buy a air quote good pen right not something not like the Pilot G. to off the shelf for the unique box signal off the shelf at the office supply store they want something a little bit nicer.
<br>'''Brad:'''  And it's gonna write awesome in that category of pen.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Doesn't really exist.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Except for richer fifty one you know from anywhere from twenty to forty dollars you can get something that's really interesting.
<br>'''Brad:'''  And when you pick it up to write with it.
<br>'''Brad:'''  It's really different from any other pen you've used.
<br>'''Myke:'''  In in.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Day kind of solved.
<br>'''Brad:'''  The re fell question you know like they picked the perfect refill and.
<br>'''Myke:'''  That.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Made the things that they wrap around those refills shine.
<br>'''Brad:'''  And allow them to do like very normal stuff like lacquers addition or very custom stuff like some of the mission to Mars stuff yet very custom additions that they do is.
<br>'''Myke:'''  They could easily charge fifty percent more than they do and get away with it.
<br>'''Myke:'''  You know.
<br>'''Brad:'''  You're there.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Yeah.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So you know out in its not for everyone it's a liquid ink refill it's a little bit wider if you're used to using a very fine refill but the problems it solves in the greater pen landscape no one else can.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Know most models close with yet nobody's close no one's close.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So that's why they're so.
<br>'''Brad:'''  That's what we talk about them so much up and they're really high quality and do good job.
<br>'''Myke:'''  And the great people to.
<br>'''Myke:'''  And every last one.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Of.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Them.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Never yep yep.
