March Madness Fountain Pen Tournament: 16 Pens, 1 Champion

Welcome to my first-ever Fountain Pen March Madness! In this video, I’m putting my personal stationery collection to the ultimate test. I'm collaborting with Bailey from @FountainPenInkStation and we are whittling down 16 incredible fountain pens from our collection to find the one true champion. From entry-level smooth writers to high-end gold nib grails, we explore current fountain pen trends, piston fillers, and custom resin makers. Whether you are into bullet journaling, creative planning, or just obsessed with beautiful ink on paper, this tournament is for you. Watch to see if a budget-friendly powerhouse can pull off a Cinderella story against a luxury Italian classic.
