Cheap VS Expensive Fountain Pens: Are Fancy Pens Worth the Price?

There are so many fountain pens out there at so many price points. How do you know what you buy will be good? Is it worth upgrading to a mid level fountain pen or an advanced pen? This is the kind of thing I discuss in this video. We'll talk about longevity/durability, writing experience, quality control, different types of pen body materials, and more. My hope is this video will help you decide whether you are fine sticking with entry level fountain pens or if you would benefit from upgrading to something more advanced.
