== Tombow Rollerball ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' So it looks, you know, it looks cool. I'll be one of those in the show notes. Have you ever used one of these?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I've used, God, it's very similar. And I can't remember the name. I'd have to search back on penaddict.com. And there's a Tombow Rollerball that I'm exceedingly pleased with. It's a really, really good pen. And it was around the $25-ish range. So it looks similar in design to the Zoom. But it's a jet black. I mean, it's black clip, black everything. And I just can't remember the name.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The Tombow Object.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Tombow Object Rollerball. So I'm very happy with that pen. I carry that pen a lot.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool. So, yeah, I've got one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, yeah, I think you'll like the Zoom. I would wager to bet you will like that pen. It's very well built.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's just like, you know, when I say, I always look in the top lists and just maybe pick one or two things that interest me. I also have, I hadn't seen this before, the Kaweco All-Rounder Fountain Pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, is that the new one?

'''Myke Hurley:''' It is new. And it is stunning.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that one looks pretty good. There's the, what do they call the...

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is a full-sized fountain pen as well.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, this is... What do they call the other? The school... What's the other full-size Kaweco on jet pens? I'm blanking.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No idea.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But anyway, I've been asked to review that several times. And I've just never gotten around to it. But that All-Rounder looks very impressive compared to this other one that I'm thinking of. Let me find a name.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you mean the special? They have the Kaweco Special AL Fountain Pen and it's full-size.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I thought it had something with school or something like that. I could just be delusional.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All I can see is the Kaweco Special.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, Kaweco Sports Student.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Similar in shape and design to the All-Rounder, but the All-Rounder looks nicer. Looks like a little bit upscale of the Sports Student.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's $100.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. That looks great. I really like the...

'''Myke Hurley:''' Doesn't it look good?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Anything Kaweco is pretty much good by me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. See, I really want to try a broad nib on the Kaweco. Okay. Because I went with medium, didn't I, on the Sport that I have. Maybe it was a little bit too small for me. A little fine. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Because, see, I have a medium Prera. I can't even use it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' See, the medium Prera is too fine for me still.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And that's just way too wide for me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's what she said.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But, yeah, I like the barrel colors of the All-Rounder, too. I like that the blue is muted and the red is really sharp and bright. I would be tempted to go non-black in this one and just go with one of the blue or red one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I would go for the black with this.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I would go for the black. Very nice. Very nice looking pen. I do want to get one. It's in my cart and I'm thinking about picking it up quite soon. So I'm going to talk about some things that I did buy this week. But before we do that, let's talk about the people that make these purchases possible. Absolutely. Squarespace. Squarespace. Do we love Squarespace, Brad? How much do we love them?
