I hated the Zebra fountain pen and quickly tossed it.
The pilot Metro is 10 times the pen. No make that 20 times.
ya and another thing... there not even made with real zebras
Nice video. I saved it as one of my favorites.

Here's what's possible with a stock Platinum #3776 Soft Fine nib. Leigh named it one of her "Pens of 2012," I think. It's not an inexpensive pen, but it's possible to find a good deal on them once in a while.

I'm curious if the (auction site) Platinum 3776's for under $100 are fakes, or an older model, or what . . . same for the maki-e ones . . .
Thanks for posting Andy. I already have the UEF, but now I want the soft fine too, and I thought I was finished buying fountain pens......
Sorry about that. I seem to have that affect on people.

Sure Andy, I bet you're real sorry
Regarding the 3776's, the sub-$80 pens are the older model. The $84 pens are the newer model. Pretty sure that's a reputable seller. Those are a steal! No idea about the maki-e pens.

So, what ink is the orange ink in that video? I'd like to get a bottle of that.

I wasn't a pen guy either until Andy converted me. The good news is I spend a lot less on shaving stuff now. Did you know that pens take up less space too.
