== Fountain Pens ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' True. All right. So, Ben wants help deciding on his next fountain pen. Would you guys go with a Sailor Progear Slim or a Pilot Custom Heritage? He wrote 96. I'm thinking he means 92. So, Progear Slim, even though the Pilot's not much bigger and probably not any heavier,

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's maybe a tick too small in relation. So, my choice is the Pilot Custom Heritage 92. Hmm.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have better luck with Pilot nibs right out the box. I like the style of it better. You know, it's just kind of an all-around really, really good pen that I use very frequently. It also has a piston filling system, which the Sailor's cartridge converter, it's kind of not close to me. Interesting. To be quite honest.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, I don't have any experience with the Custom Heritage. What I like about the Sailors is that there's a lot of different color options and they're exciting looking. Yes. Where I think the Pilot Custom Heritage line is not exciting looking. I think it's kind of boring.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it's demonstrator only in about four different colors, maybe. Maybe five. No more than five.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's just a better pen, in my opinion. Okay. But I'm a huge Sailor fan. I just go straight to the regular Progear. I would skip the Slim. And I own a couple Slims. I just don't use them. They're actually probably going to go on the for sale block pretty soon just because I don't love that size.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know why Ben is deciding to go slim with it. Like, why? Because the Progear is still a very small pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's probably a price point range. Those are in the 140 range, right? When you're getting up to over two for the standard Progear.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's a really good point. She's sitting there. I didn't think it was a price thing. I just thought it was a size thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, those are in the same bracket. Yeah. So, in that bracket, I would choose the 92. If for some reason you could swing a regular, if this question was regular Progear or 92, I go regular Progear.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. Cool.
