== Fountain Pen Storage ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' do too. But I had been leaving my fountain pens, like just laying on my desk, like in a row, just horizontally. Cause I was like, well, what's the best way to do this? So we'll see. We'll see if we get a consensus on the feedback. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, another real, we'll do one more real quick. Another thing we could use some feedback on is our favorite retro 51 tornado. And everyone's been loving that pen. And I have had a couple of questions since it's a 0.7 millimeter roller. Is there another good refill for that? Um, that you could get, you know, a similar performing refill with a 0.5 millimeter tip. I looked for like an hour this morning. I couldn't come up with anything good. Um, there has to be, it's a, um, it's a, it's a, it's a Schmidt refill. I don't know the model number off the top of my head, but I could only find that Schmidt in 0.7 millimeter.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There has to be something. What people are asking is, do they have, is there something thinner?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. Is there something thinner that, you know, since, you know, retro 51 just sells the 0.7 refill and that's the most common, uh, refill for this type of pen. You don't, it's harder to find something thinner, um, like a 0.5 millimeter tip rollerball reef that fits this. There has to be one out there because a lot of the, a lot of the refill brands make similar designs, right? You could have, um, you know, like a, a Parker refill will might fit in a different retro 51 pin, things like that. So there has to be something out there that's similar to the Schmidt refill that would fit in the barrel of the retro 51. I don't have a lot of refills laying around where I can test things out and see what works and what doesn't. And, and the time I searched this morning, I couldn't find, there was no clarity came from that search. So it looked like some things that might be close, but there's nothing I could say. This absolutely works and this is what you need to get. So plus I'd be hesitant to swap it out because it writes so good. I'd want another Schmidt refill. It's a really good refill. Yeah. So anyway, since I've asked for a lot of reader help today, I guess I wish to tell them how to get in touch, huh? Exactly. And they can do that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They can send us emails by a couple of different ways. You can email Brad directly at the pen addict at gmail.com. Um, you can get in contact with us by going to 70 decibels forward slash 70 decibels.com forward slash contact. You can select the pen addict from the drop down list and that will go to myself. Um, and I will include Brad where necessary. Um, you can get us both on Twitter. Brad is at dowdyism, which is D O W Y I S M. And I am at I Myke, which is I M Y K E. Sound good. Sounds good, sir. Excellent. And we want to, again, just thank Squarespace for sponsoring this episode of the pen addict podcast. Um, they're going to be back with us again next week. We've got another fine sponsor as well joining them, um, next week. So thank you very much, Brad.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Thank you, Myke. You have a good evening. You too, sir. All right. I'll talk to you later. See you later.
