In this new series of videos, I chat about my pens. There will be no writing sakomples here: if you’re interested in that, please check out my reviews of the individual pens or see my Personal Pens videos.
In this fourth installment, I talk about the pens made of Arco Bronze celluloid, made by OMAS, Oldwin, and Armando Simoni Club.
In this video I discuss my opinion on fountain pens as an investment and the recent spike of interest in Arco celluloids.
I sold my OMAS 360 Magnum and then Azizah gave me another one because I missed it so much. I absolutely love the triangular profile of this pen, and it has a very smooth nib. I have not done a full review of this particular pen, but I have reviewed an identical model with a fine nib a long time ago.
Let’s have a look at the OMAS Paragon in the beautiful Arco Bronze celluloid. I love this pen: it has a very smooth 18k gold nib, and it holds a lot of ink. The fine nib is very smooth and an absolute pleasure to use, and the pen has a great size. The Arco celluloid is hard not to love. I have done a full review of this pen too, if you’re interested.
This set was kindly lent to me by Papier und Stift. A beautiful, albeit expensive, set of fountain pens!

This is one of my favourite videos of the year, because it allows me to share my love for a specific set of pens with you!

Purchase of this limited edition OMAS 360 Soleterre contributed to the education of women and children in Africa. The pen was sold exclusively through the OMAS webshop.
Azizah picked this pen up at Pen Chalet. It’s a beauty.
I have reviewed the black Paragon as well.
