Editing The Pen Addict 235/transcript (section)

== Fountain Pen ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So it's the super minimal titanium brass and aluminum fountain pen. And before I get your thoughts, I would like to say full disclosure. And so is a blog advertiser. He currently has an advertisement on my blog, the pen addict and is sponsoring a week later this month. So I just wanted to throw that out there as I believe I should. So anyway, tell me what you think about this pen.

'''Myke Dudek:''' I think it's well, they they did the Enso pen, I think is what it was called right for over the summer. And they they sent they were kind enough to send me one of the the pens for review earlier. So, you know, they do good work. You know, it seems like that it it was the quality of it was was good, I think. For me, from like a thoughts and look on this.

'''Myke Dudek:''' I think it's like super clean, you know, and they definitely are right. Like super minimal fountain pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But but we did this four years ago.

'''Myke Dudek:''' Right. Yeah, that's right. That's what I'm kind of feeling is like, I think it's cool, you know, and it's I think it's a sleek looking pen. I think, you know, somebody would enjoy owning one like, but but is it is it anything like that hasn't already kind of already really been done before, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. So that's that's the me and you problem, right? That's what we look at this and we say, well, it looks exactly like the Nova or whatever, you know, five other pens that look like this. Yeah. Yeah. But there's always new customers coming to Kickstarter. It's not always, you know, the pen community or the pen addict community that's, you know, dropping money on a pen like this. And so one thing I will give him credit. And I think the gentleman's name is Carlo or Carlos. I can't remember how Enzo is the company name. But their pricing is really good. Oh, yeah. For what they offer, they always do. They always have a very fair pricing. And I even I went off of my usual all black or titanium and I actually went for the brass one of this. I did back this project. Oh, sweet, man. Yeah. I mean, 60 bucks or I think mine was 55, I think, for.

'''Myke Dudek:''' Yeah, they're 50. Like, I think right here they have this. Well, the super early bird is gone. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I did 55 early bird brass. I mean, a brass barrel fountain pen, that's a great price. Yeah, that's really good. And that's a style I like. Okay. It's not groundbreaking by any stretch. But we'll see what it see what it's like. And I'll, you know, try the brass one out.

'''Myke Dudek:''' So, yeah, it's it's going to be heavy. That's the thing is it's the brass looks like it's coming in over three ounces. So, I mean, that's going to be pretty weighty in the in the in the hand. Although I don't trying to see. I don't think it posts.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I certainly I don't see how it came. I don't.

'''Myke Dudek:''' Yeah, I don't think it posts.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The in design does not look like it would facilitate that. No, no.

'''Myke Dudek:''' Sometimes you can be surprised. Like, I don't know, like the way they design that, like it could stick on there. But yeah, I mean, it's it's a it's a clean looking pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like it's not like I want those brass one posted anyway.

'''Myke Dudek:''' No, no. One thing like with with kind of pen designs like this. And I think the the Nova folks like I don't know. And maybe this is like round. This will be like round three, four. And so, you know, but like doing a similar design like this, it seems like come out with the fountain pen version and then come back, you know, six months later and do the rollerball version, which, you know, is pretty cool. Like I kind of like when when companies, you know, find a design that works and then offer some different options in it, because I mean, personally, like I think a small pocketable like rollerball or ballpoint in this sort of style or design would be pretty sweet. Like personally.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I'm with you there. And what's funny is his original designs are way more off the wall than this is what you and I would consider super traditional for like a Kickstarter metal Kickstarter fountain pen.

'''Myke Dudek:''' Yeah.
