Let's Talk Stationery with Stephanie and Josh
"Gotta Catch 'Em All"
Okay. So, Josh.
So you know how we brought in the Uni Kuru Toga pencils.
You and I have discussed that.
Josh: Yes.
At length. Uh, we've brought in Pentel EnerGels with Pikachu on them,
we've brought in the Kamio Japan SEPA.
But. We have not shown on video.
Oh! The Pilot FriXion Ball 3.
Pilot FriXion Ball 3. Comes in blue and pink. It's limited edition.
Josh: Yes. Get on it. Stephanie: You know what to do.
Add to cart.
Josh: Limited edition means limited edition.
Like... like there'sthere's only a set amount out there.
So once that's gone, that's gone.
It's gone!
I'm gonna open it.
I have the blue one because I have an affinity for blue.
Okay, so I have black, blue, and red refills. (Whispers) Oh, it's so cute. Josh: (Laughs)
You can't see Pikachu but Pikachu-- (Whispers) Oh my god... Josh: I cannot.
Is... Is Pikachu on the pink one as well?
Josh: Or is it... Stephanie: Yes. ...Let me double check.
Yes. Yes. Same pose? Josh: Ahh...
Josh: Just different colors Stephanie: different poses!
Josh: Oh, different pose! Stephanie: No, Pikachu's like this on the pink one.
(Laughter)
Stephanie: Blue Pikachu's like.. Josh: Do the pose one more time?
(Laughter)
Pink Pikachu's like this.
(Laughter)
Great posing! (Laughter)
Stephanie: Blue Pikachu is like, "Hey!"
It's cute.
And it says, "Pikachu!" -- exclamation point -- on it. (Laughs)
Also, speaking of limited edition.
If this video goes up while these are still here you must buy them.
Josh: Oh, yes.
I'll show you. I--
Josh: I have them as well!
You know why they're blank spaces?
Because I've already used them.
Stephanie: (Whispers) Look at them.
We both have because they're just so amazing!
Stephanie: (Even softer) Look at them.
I love Bulbasaur! Sorry, I got quiet.
But yeah.
Kanto. There's... uh, what else? yeah
Stephanie: Pink and purple. Josh: Oh there's... yeah--
Both: Pink and purple.
Josh: And then there's Eevee. Stephanie: What else you got?
There's two different types of Pikachu, I believe.
Stephanie: (sound of agreement)
Stephanie: The cute like... Cutesy illustration and then the regular...
Stephanie: ...style. Josh: And then there's the other starters.
Josh: I... I don't have it pulled up but... Stephanie: Oh!
Stephanie: Turtwig. I love Turtwig. I love all grass starters.
Tell me what your favorite Pokémon starter is now! (Laughs)
Stephanie: No, don't! But do! Josh: Actually...
Stephanie: Do tell though! Josh: I mean, I'm interested!
Josh: Let us know in the comments below! Stephanie: I'm interested!
Josh: So.
I actually put mine on-- so I have these like, tins that I use to play,
when I play Pokémon uh the trading card game. Stephanie: ...Oh, so cute.
To hold all like, the damage counters and the and the markers.
Oh, we don't use this. This--this is an old format but I put Slowpoke in this one.
Stephanie: Best boy.
And then I have this one. Stephanie: Oh, Erica!
Josh: And I put a Bulbasaur in there.
And then we have these VSTAR markers now.
And so when you use your VSTAR Power you flip it over.
And I put Gengar just sitting on the other side of it.
So Gengar will just be staring down my opponent when you flip it.
As it should be.
So...
Get your Pokémon stuff while it's still here because
Josh: like we said it's limited. Stephanie: Please.
It's-- There's only so much out there so once they're gone, they're gone.
Get a Grip
Stephanie: I want to see your best impression Josh: Alright.
Josh: Okay Stephanie
Stephanie: Okay, go ahead. Josh: "Listen!"
"Don't comfort me! Okay?!"
(Laughter)
Josh: Is that good enough? Stephanie: That was pretty good.
Stephanie: You gotta get--
Listen!
Listen.
I specifically said in that video, "Do not come for me," because I know.
I know what my grip looks like. I know because I've had it x number of years.
I know what it looks like and it doesn't look nice.
And I know what my handwriting looks like... and it doesn't look nice.
So-- (Laughs)
Anyway. This section is about pen grips.
We will get into it. Josh will show you his first
because you already have kind of seen what mine looks like. Go!
Josh: Yeah. So mine looks like this. Stephanie: Now. Let's see it.
Josh: I've been told that it is a lateral tripod grip. Stephanie: Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, that's true. Because like, the only difference between
my grip and the tripod grip. Stephanie: I'm testing it.
This is the tripod grip... And then this is my grip, which is the thumb over.
Stephanie: Yeah, the true tripod is like...
Josh: Yeah and I've tried. My-- it's--it's like a, just a little modification of my grip.
But already... Like it's... Like this is...
I'm gonna date myself but this is thirty years of muscle memory. I'm sorry.
Like it's hard to fight thirty years of muscle memory. Stephanie: I'm testing-- hold on, let me see.
Stephanie: I'm going to test your grip. ...Like this?
Josh: Yeah. Yeah. Essentially.
Where are you-- are you pressing on your middle finger?
Um... It's kind of... Yeah. It's mainly between the thumb and the middle finger.
But to push down on the paper you can use your index.
Oh I see. I see. Interesting.
But yes, you have seen Stephanie's grip.
You've seen my grip. Josh: (Laughs)
It's a... quadrupod that's the word. Josh: Quadrupod. Yup
So I'll turn. So...
Really, what's holding the pencil is between my thumb and my ring finger.
So there's a lot of pressure there. I've broken a lot of pencils.
And then my middle and my ring (pointer*) finger come down to support.
Not really support. But, in a way. support.
And I do get calluses here...
But...
Whatever!
Yeah, everybody has different grips. Unfortunately, unless you were taught to do the tripod grip...
Stephanie: (sound of agreement)
You know you're gonna end up with the grip you end up with. Especially...
Here in the US like, nobody taught us how to grip our pens.
Josh: Like... Stephanie: It's true.
They just made sure we didn't grip it like this.
Stephanie: Yeah.
Josh: Just like, they just put it in your hand and you just had to form somehow
to hold on to it. So yeah. Stephanie: Yeah.
Josh: I mean if you'd like to, and if you find it more ergonomic,
then yes, the tripod grip is probably the best grip. But it's not the only grip.
That's right.
Josh: Yeah.
Also. I have for you.
If you find you are trying to switch your grip or adjust your grip to be more compliant to the tripod grip.
There is a product for that. It's the Tombow...
Yo--.
Yo-i.
There's-- This is the left. I'll put the left-- This is the left-handed one. This is the right-handed one.
We sell both. So.
I think these are the only grips on our site so...
Peep that.
"Show and Tell"
Yeah so. What what stationary have you been using lately? Is there-- is there--
Josh: Anything you're excited about? Stephanie: (French) Moi? (Laughs)
Josh: Yes, you! Stephanie: (French) Moi?
Stephanie: Yes, I did bring something in my--
Please observe: dogs.
In my Rickshaw Bagworks 3-Pen Coozy, which--
I saw you mentioned me on your Instagram!
Josh: I know! I saw that too! that was really nice!
It was very sweet of you and I appreciate that! So I brought your dogs one here with me again.
Which-- if you haven't seen this before, go watch my fountain pen video.
Link! (Popping sound) (Laughs)
This is the dogs!
My favorite one is the tripod (tripawd) dog.
B-roll of tripod (tripawd) dog. Anyway--
I brought with me-- I'll leave it here so you can see it.
This is the Noodler's Triple Tail.
Josh: Ooh!
Stephanie: This pen. Man. I talked about the Ahab having a smell.
Josh: (Laughs)
Josh: Just know all the pens from Noodler's... Stephanie: This-- it's true. This pen...
Stephanie: It's made out of resin. So like, of course. I should have like, expected. But like...
Josh: (Sound of agreement)
It's less so now. But like, you're gonna look at me-- watch-- you're gonna watch me smell--...
What do you have uh, inked in it right now?
I currently have Colorverse Hayabusa from the Glistening Series.
So it has a lot of shimmer in it. I can show you. Hold, please. Don't go anywhere.
This is what I have for you. Do you see?
Oh I could barely--
Oh, well, you can kind of see it.
Cut the b-roll so Josh can see it! Josh: Yeah.
Stephanie: But yeah. Josh: Ooh! That's nice!
Josh: Look at that B-roll! insert! Stephanie: Ooh! Look at it!
Josh: Just like, insert that clip afterwards. Stephanie: Ooh!
The difference between the Ahab and the Triple Tail is that the Ahab is like a typical fountain pen nib where it's slit...
down the middle and as you put pressure down it flexes.
The triple tail is different in that there are two slits.
Josh: oh
Stephanie: Two so... the triple tail. Josh:Hence-- hence the 'triple tail'.
Josh: Because it cuts it-- Both: Into three.
So the line variation is much...
It can be much greater. I also, like with the Ahab, I write normal. But...
Huge ink capacity.
This is my second fill. Not of Hayabusa but just in general.
Because it's a shimmer ink I have to keep it agitated. So that's why I keep turning it.
Josh: Oh, it's a shimmer ink! Okay. Stephanie: Yes.
It's purple with like a gold...
Let me look at it. Let me look at it real close.
Yeah, it's like gold-ish.
Yeah, that's what I'm working with right now. What else am I working with right now? That's it. That's all I had.
Just the Triple Tail. Say, "Bye!" Josh: Well...
(Laughter)
Josh: To go off of uh what you've been saying actually.
On your pen case video.
It kind of like-- when I was editing it it kind of gave me the little boost to be like:
"Alright, I'm gonna start trying out my fountain pens."
I've had my uh-- I've had my Preppy for a really long time. It's an old style Preppy.
Josh: Um, I'll just show B-roll of it.
And then I have the new style Preppy which I was using.
Um, but I recently bought the Tsuki-yo ink.
I really like the color.
Josh: So I was like, "Okay. I'm gonna-- I'm Stephanie: Beautiful.
gonna fill up my Preppy and I'm gonna practice." Um, because I still practice my handwriting.
Um and then I-- I bought my Sooofa.
Sooofa!
To be my handwriting practice book. So far I've written in here.
And yeah, it's really nice! There's no bleed through. Very little show through. Um...
Stephanie: I love the colors it comes in. ...Little ghosting?
Josh: Yeah. a little bit. But yeah.
And then I realized that I need a shitajiki now!
Because I'm a very heavy-handed person. Stephanie: Yeah you do!
So I'm looking at getting the Velos uh, B6. I think there's a B6, yeah.
But yeah, I chose the-- the Sooofa because it has a four millimeter grid,
and I think if you can work with small grids it will help you um, maintain your
consistency in size of your letters because that's one of my biggest problems.
Is like, sometimes my 'o' will be this small sometimes it'll be this big you know. It's like...
Stephanie: My 't's' all look different for some reason.
Josh: Yes! Oh, my 't's' too! like the angle sometimes Stephanie: Yeah...
is not the same. Like... Stephanie: Or like, the line across. Never con--
Stephanie: It's sometimes short, sometimes like-- (laughs). Josh: Josh.
Josh: It's way too long? (Laughs) Stephanie: Like a signature, it keeps going.
Yeah, exactly the same problems for me. Which is why you have to practice!
Josh: It's the muscle memory. It's the muscle memory that makes things look good.
Otherwise you gotta write slow.
Yeah, don't be fooled. We write slow for for our videos.
I got these a while back, but I've been loving the oh--
Nope not the Sarasa dry, that's an old pen.
Stephanie: (Gasp) I know these!
Uh, yeah, I've been using the Mark+s uh, lately to do...
like writing down notes. Especially if I need to color-coordinate it.
Like when I write notes for motion graphics or editing and stuff like that.
So yeah, I like-- I like the colors that it comes in.
They're nice and like vibrant and a little muted. So I kind of like that.
Um. I used to use
Mildliners all the time but they just... Sometimes they just bleed right through
some of the papers that I use to use. Stephanie: They put down a lot of ink.
Especially if I'm highlighting on, uh, copy paper.
It just goes right through it and then like, if I double sided printed I'm like,
"Oh, man. Now there's just blotches all over the side!"
Like, I love the Mildliners and they're like one of the first uh...
stationery products that were like on the nicer side that I got into. But yeah. Stephanie: Yeah.
I'm just learning that there there's other ones out there too. So I sincerely-- I sincerely uh...
Say you should try the Mark+!
