== Fountain Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Now this one, this is right up your alley. Number four on his list is the barrel handwriting fountain pen. Yes. And that just must be something you grow up with in the UK, right? That's kind of what you mentioned before. Yeah. Yeah. He says, I think Myke mentioned this on the podcast a while ago, on Prudential's three-pound fountain pen. I've owned three.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know, it just says it's a good all-around pen. And it's number five is the Zebra Z-Grip ballpoint. Lovely ergonomics on this pen, even though I'm not a big ballpoint fan, must try the gel versions. Um, I've tried the Z-Grip. The, I'll say the one good thing about the Z-Grip is if you want ballpoints, ballpoint ink that comes in a lot of colors, Zebra is one of the few that puts out like a 10-pack of, you know, rainbow ballpoint colors, which are not always the easiest thing to find. You find that more in gel pens and liquid ink pens. That said, the quality of the ballpoint line, I've used them before. They're not that great. Um, they, they skip a lot in, in the ones that I've used, but, um, Dave, you should, you should definitely try a couple, a couple different, uh, ballpoints. Maybe try a jet stream. I like them. Myke doesn't, you know, maybe we'll, maybe you can, you can try one out and you can, you can tell us where you lie in there. but, uh, that's Dave's list. Awesome list. You know, the, the biggest thing is, you know, about these lists is it, it's definitely finding out what works, works best for you. And it's, it's, it's as both you and I have found out, Myke, it is a moving target.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. The more entrenched you get into this stuff, the more, um, random things you start to find. And it's those crafted pens, like some, even some of the Kickstarter stuff that we were talking about a couple of weeks back, that's, you know, that's where you start to find some real gems and that's where it starts to get out of hand.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is the truth. That is the truth. All right. Well, I think that, uh, I think that about covers it for today.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Excellent. And you can find us online. Um, Brad is at penaddict.com and he is at dowdyism on Twitter, D O W D Y I S M. I am I Myke. I M Y K E. Thank you very much for joining us for this episode of the pen addict podcast until next time. Thank you, Brad.
