New video: a viewer asked me to show how I fill a piston filler, so I demonstrated four fill types — cartridge, converter, piston, and vacuum — across five pens. Inky fingers and all.

New on the channel — the Pilot Custom Urushi in Vermilion Red. It's my grail pen, a 50th birthday gift from my wife, and the most expensive pen in my collection. Hand-lacquered, 18kt gold Number 30 nib, and an absolute showpiece.

Checked out the inaugural San Francisco Stationery Fest this weekend (Day 1).
Different vibe from the pen show—more paper, journaling, stamps, and a broader stationery crowd. Still plenty to enjoy, and I came home with a modest haul.
