GRAIL PEN DELIVERY! Waterman Edson Boucheron AND Newton Pens Shinobi

For a long time I have been wanting a Waterman Edson. I especially wanted one when I saw the Edson in a Boucheron edition. I finally got one. It was my very first "Grail Pen" I wanted. ALSO, the wait is finally over and I got my Newton Pens custom made Shinobi. I ordered the pen in September of 2017 and it arrived in my mail delivery just today. I unbox and show them both in today's video.

By Request: Jinhao 15 Fountain Pen Review

By request, I review the Jinhao model # 15 fountain pen. I used a different nib than came with the pen, however. I used a fude nib (that was given to me by chrisrap52 here on YouTube) instead of the erroneously sent fine nib that came with the pen. On a side note, I tried using a different microphone and was horrified to hear its results. I won't be trying that mic again.
