I just wanted to say that I needed some customer assistance this week in regard to my Lamy Lx and Brian K was so helpful, he even recorded a tutorial video to explain my problem and how to address it. You seriously have the best customer service in the world, and I just wanted more people to be aware of how on-the-ball you guys are.

Hi, Drew, first, you have to know that you are loved and appreciated by this community for who you are, the full version of you. Please don’t feel compelled to restrain yourself when you do these solo videos. Personally, I don’t listen- much less subscribe- to monotone reviewers. (I also don’t listen to those who are obnoxiously and artificially loud.) However, the overwhelming majority (most likely almost all) of us who subscribe to this channel like you just the way you are, so please don’t hold back.

Just got my Innova Lightning today from Goulet! Pen is as awesome in person as it is in this video. Of note, that Lightning ink is not just black! Opened the box to see a ton of silver shimmer in there the bottle. But it's a strange ink. It writes jet black, and then shades over as it quickly dries to a grey/silver shimmer. Very cool to watch. Hadn't seen something like that from Monteverde before. Love the energy Drew! 😄

The lightning ink is basically black chrome. It's a shimmer but the shimmer is so fine it lays like metallic ink.

Agar agar is a gellatin extracted from seaweed and used as a thickener, or to grow mushroom mycelium in a petri dish if you enjoy mycology.

Agar agar is not a sub-category of gelatin. They are both gelling agents, but they are chemically and structurally quite different. Gelatin is derived from collagen, which is an animal structural protein found in connective tissue. Agar agar is derived from plants - polysaccharides and pectins, which are made up of carbohydrate building blocks. Carbohydrates contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Amino acids are made up of both carbohydrate and amino groups, which include nitrogen. So, in gel form, agar agar and gelatin may look the same, but they have very different properties. Fun fact: foods made with gelatin are only considered halal/kosher if the gelatin is 100% made from halal/kosher animals - no pork. Most commercial gelatin is made from multiple animal sources pooled together, which means pork is probably in the mix. By definition, gelatin is *never* vegan or vegetarian, since it's derived from animal body parts. Gelatin-containing foods include marshmallows, Jell-O, and gummy candy.

You know, when I saw the 823 pre-announced in clear, I thought I was going to be first in line to grab one. What's interesting, though is that now that it's available, I find myself more drawn to the amber. The clear is cool, no doubt but it's release is making me realize just how elegant the amber is and I think I'm going to go that route. Just going to wait for a few more reviews on the signature nib to come out to see if I want to go that route with the pen.

Dangit, you had to go and mention the rose tea going well with the earl grey a la neopolitan. I didn't get the Neopolitan Euphoria, but I just got the Earl Grey AND I have the Cookies 'n' Cream Milkshake, so now I want the rose tea one to round out the trio. Hopefully I'll have the funds to grab one when/if it's back in stock.

I am not sure how to put this without sounding offensive. With the current events in the world today, I find it difficult to support a Russian company and as you should know, Benu is a Russian company. I know this sounds petty, but to me I feel the pain should be placed on Russia in anyway possible for the invasion of Ukraine. This may seem small because it is only a pen, but it is hypocritical to say we support one country and turn around and do business with its enemy. I will never own a Benu pen. Ok, I will get off my soapbox now.

They had to relocate away from Russia when the war started, not sure if that makes a difference, but it sounds like they weren’t into it either.
