Fountain Pen Haul: My New Grail Pens from Esterbrook and Pelikan + A budget friendly Asvine

Today's video busts a no buy that lasted almost 3 months with 3 new pens including a surprise "grail" appearance that showed up just in time. We’re putting the much-talked-about Asvine C80 and its massive number eight nib head-to-head with the elegant Pelikan M600 in White and Rose Gold. I’ll be sharing my personal "Pen Purchasing Principles" that help me avoid FOMO and stay on track with my collection goals. Stick around for the writing tests where we explore everything from steel vs. gold nib feels to custom ink mixes like "Bunny Pink."
