== Rollerball Usage Discussion ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' And that's the biggest issue I find with roller balls, because how are you going to tell me that I'm going to use this pen more than any Jetstream or any Pilot Acroball, you know, because it is inferior.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That you're moving up to a fountain pen, right? Like that, you know. Right. Like why would you use this pen when it's not necessarily your favorite roller ball and when you'd use roller balls less than fountain, you know what I mean? It's just like, I don't know where I would have a place for it in my life.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Where I do, in that I do use roller balls, gel pens, and ball points way more than fountain pens, I would say. Just in totality, those three types of pens more than fountain pens. So I have room for when the refill is close, like if a Jetstream, just say arbitrarily, is a 10 out of 10, and this refills like an 8 or 9 out of 10, well, it's close enough in writing quality that I can enjoy the look, style, and feel, and durability of the barrel of this Safari, which makes it a pen I want to use at that point. Right. That makes sense. I get that. It's good stuff. Very, very much enjoyed the Lamy Safari Ballpoint. And I bet you can tell me, Myke, where I can buy a Lamy Safari Ballpoint in the future if I'm interested.

We have all kinds of stuff from Monteverde. All kinds of stuff from Lamy. And a pretty cool Kaweco. So let me scroll back up here to the top. So Monteverde Rodeo Drive, which I've never seen this pen before. It looks kind of cool. Very cool price for the Monteverde. The Lamy Studio Fountain Pen, which I'm a fan of. And we'll be having a good look at those coming up soon on the PenAddict blog. I like their special edition colors, which I'm surprised are on sale. Which that's kind of Ron's thing. That's his middle name. His name is Ron. I'm surprised it's on sale. At PenChalet.com. And then the Kaweco AL Sport. The all black one. Which I do not own. And I won't own. I probably... I don't need this pen. But dang, that's a good price. So yeah. As always, Ron comes through with some pretty amazing prices.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' If you're a Lamy Studio fan and like the special edition colors that they do, I think they just do those once a year, maybe twice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is very well priced for recent additions. We'll leave it there. All right. So one of the things that I've been saying, I'd say in this year, this calendar year, and been parroting some others and passing this information through the community is that Kaweco uses YoVoNibs now. So that's been kind of a phrase I've been on. You know, you hear that information. The information gets passed along. You hear that from vendors, retailers, people who buy things. And then I got a tweet earlier this week from one of my friends. And she said, hey, I'm seeing that I got this information from like Kaweco customer support when I was asking about the nib manufacturer. And I...
