Buying the most expensive pen
Transcript
I'm going to buy the most expensive Montblanc pen and I believe it's the Better stock tier. You the pen. First of all, am I in the right place? Yeah. We're even down here. So this is the nicest cut pipe. The 149 is the largest pen at the topper. Start you off with the medium, which is sort of the regular size. What is it supposed to feel like touching the pen to paper? It should be sort of silky smooth, good flow across the page, should have good ink flow. Ward here and then there's a size above that as well which is double ward. Would you characterize something for me? Show me how wonderful this pen can best. You're not writing a poem, are you? It's a little phrase. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and you get every letter of the alphabet. Okay. Do you want to take off of the burgundy there? Oh, yeah. Precious fizzing. So it's their own special sort of formulated pressure sesson that they use.
