&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;−&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Brad Dowdy:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yeah. So this is the drawing pen that I love. And I&#039;m keeping a Field Notes Roastery Edition with a bunch of baseball stats, tracking, planning. You know, I do lots of fantasy baseball stuff. So that&#039;s my baseball pen right now until I got this, I got my real Retro 51 baseball pen in. This is the pen I use for that. It&#039;s the firmest drawing pen tip I&#039;ve ever used. It&#039;s very sturdy. It&#039;s very clean, sharp lines, and it holds up really well. I mean, I&#039;ve probably filled 20 pages full of notes in this Field Notes so far, and that&#039;s a little larger size. You know, the Roastery Edition is like 4x6 or whatever it is. And that pen hasn&#039;t broken down at all. And, you know, those, that&#039;s just part of, part of the deal with drawing pens is the tips break down. You know, they&#039;re the plastic or felt tip pens, and they just break down. This one holds up extremely well. The TI2 Tech Liner rounds out really the top three. Those three, the Pocket 66 fountain pen, the Kuretake drawing pen, and the TI2 Tech Liner for a gel ink pen, that&#039;s kind of my triumvirate right now. That&#039;s the three most used pens that I have right now. I use the Tech Liner for everything. I carry it with me everywhere I go. People were asking about the Gonzo Dyes Edition that I mentioned. That&#039;s a finish that was only available for Kickstarter backers. They don&#039;t, Myke Bond doesn&#039;t make that finish anymore. That&#039;s my favorite finish. I have two other ones. I keep one on my desk at work, a third one on my desk at home. I just love everything about that pen. You can use the Signo 207 refills, work on that, and the RT1, the Signo RT1 refills work in that, which I like the .38 blue-black refills. You can get other colors in that. Myke Bond has started making new magnets for the TI2 Tech Liner. I don&#039;t have any of those handy, but the camo versions that he makes for &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;NOC&lt;/del&gt;, we have the new magnets in them that allow you to use the Uniball Jetstream refills because they weren&#039;t compatible before. All those refills were good in it. Then I have two more fountain pens that round out the top five. One of them I can&#039;t seem to ever un-ink, and that&#039;s the Pilot Custom Heritage 92. It&#039;s a blue demonstrator. I ordered it from Japan. It&#039;s not in the U.S. market yet. You can get the clear barrel in the U.S. market. It&#039;s a piston filler. I ordered it with a broad nib. I got Myke Masayama to put a cursive italic grind on it. And one of the things we skipped over today, which we&#039;re going to talk about, I had a lot of people in the Slack channel ask me more about grinds and writing with certain types of nibs. We&#039;ll do a whole segment on that in an upcoming episode on that. I had to cut some things out for time reasons today. But there&#039;s just something about this pen. I&#039;m a big fan of Pilot nibs. Their gold nibs are fantastic. This piston model works really well. I love the blue demonstrator look, and the nib is straight-up killer. And if you couldn&#039;t tell by now, the third fountain pen I have is another demonstrator. I like demonstrator fountain pens, unlike you, Myke. You&#039;re anti-demonstrator. I&#039;m a demonstrator. It&#039;s Edison Menlo. And this is a custom job I had done. Well, I didn&#039;t have done. Jeff, Brooke Wiki, had this done for me as a gift. And it&#039;s a really, really special pen to me, not just because of the gift part of it, but it&#039;s straight-out awesome. It&#039;s a Menlo. It&#039;s in a colorway that I love with the red and blue. I call it the 3D Menlo. It looks awesome. The nib&#039;s killer. It&#039;s really sharp, really clean. I love my handwriting. If you can&#039;t tell in the picture that I put in this post, you can see how clean my handwriting looks with all these pens. I think that&#039;s what sells me on a pen the most, is what does my output look like on the page? And there&#039;s things to consider, especially with fountain pens, what ink are you using, what paper are you using? But how does my output look on the page? This is my preferred style of pen. You can see what all this writing looks like. You can tell how clean and crisp and clear it is. They&#039;re very enjoyable pens. And that&#039;s kind of the group that has really been in heavy rotation here recently. You&#039;ll notice there&#039;s not a Nakaya in the list. I have three Nakayas inked right now, but I&#039;m about to clean them out just to kind of give them a break because I&#039;ve been using this group of pens more than any here recently, which doesn&#039;t surprise me. I have a lot of pens to go through, and I like to mix it up like I hadn&#039;t had the Menlo inked up for months and months and months. And now that I have it back in the rotation, I don&#039;t ever want to take it back out again. It&#039;s that great of a pen. So I&#039;m going to try to do this every month, and I think after this one, I&#039;m going to start incorporating other products as well, not just my top five pens, but maybe my top five products I&#039;m using. You know, add in paper, add in whatever I might be using, just not always straight pens every time. So if you have any feedback on this list and how I&#039;m doing it and, you know, what my personal tastes are and things like that, just definitely get in touch. So what do you think about this type of post, you know, to recur frequently on the pen addict?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Brad Dowdy:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yeah.

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Myke Hurley:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, I mean, we spoke on the show and we spoke in the episode afterwards about how great it was to spend time with everyone and stuff like that. But there was a topic that I wanted to cover and felt that Analog was a good place for it where it was kind of just like talking about nerdiness. Because Analog is a show that&amp;#039;s focused towards the Apple tech crowd, right? Right. Where we&amp;#039;re traditionally nerds and geeks, right? That&amp;#039;s the thing. Although this stuff is now more cool again. You know, computers are cool now. Right. But, you know, we&amp;#039;re still very nerdy about the things that we&amp;#039;re nerdy about. But because we&amp;#039;re all, because it&amp;#039;s like this big community that I&amp;#039;m a part of, everybody that&amp;#039;s in that community doesn&amp;#039;t really see it as nerdy anymore. Because we&amp;#039;re, you know, from a point, because we&amp;#039;re all in it together. And whenever I go to these conferences, I&amp;#039;m so used to them now that they just seem like a normal type of thing, like conferences and events. But when I was at the pen show, I was able to re-experience the extreme nerdiness. Especially because it&amp;#039;s a community that I&amp;#039;m part of. I definitely skew with the stuff that I do more in the tech community than in the pen community. Sure. Where, you know, you&amp;#039;re definitely more in the pen community, right? Because 100% of your output, basically, is in the pen community. Yeah. Where the pen addict is maybe one sixth or one seventh or something like that of my output. So it&amp;#039;s really interesting to go and be around people. And just the thing that I usually can only talk about once a week, I could talk about constantly for an entire weekend in the complete, completely unabashed and as totally as much as I want. And it was fantastic. And it was nice to talk to Casey about it as well, because obviously Casey wasn&amp;#039;t there and he didn&amp;#039;t really have a lot of frame of reference for it. So it was nice to talk to him about it as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Myke Hurley:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, I mean, we spoke on the show and we spoke in the episode afterwards about how great it was to spend time with everyone and stuff like that.

Because the standout on this page, though, is really easy, and to me, and it&#039;s the Lamy Studio for $60. That&#039;s a steal and a half.
