For sure. I tried using an Apple Pencil years ago and hated the experience. The fake shadow is a cool engineering feat and one of those fun surprises that makes users love the software even more. But when you don’t love the device to begin with, it has no utility.

That's more or less the way I feel about it. It's very interesting for sure, I just wouldn't have much utility for such a thing and that guy got WAY too excited about it from my perspective.
There's no way I could have an iPad at my job, but I can easily bring in a few pens and a notepad which has worked wonders for my handwriting!
Handwriting is a lost art. We need to save it.
That is my goal! I'm developing/searching for a curriculum for it for my daughter once she's old enough for school. We're homeschooling her anyways, so might as well help her learn it!
I learned from my parents who both have great penmanship. Mostly through their example. I saw how neat it was and the complements they got when writing on a whiteboard/chalkboard. Made me realize that there is a certain amount of power and confidence that comes with writing legibly.
Very cool!
I was taught in school and despite being an artist young, my handwriting never developed past basics and my printing is atrocious. I mostly new to show down and work on my form but I'll get there.
There is a power in it for sure and I'm fairly well-spoken so I would like my writing to match!

This is the resource I use for my kids and for myself.
I just picked up a new pilot fountain pen this week 🤙. It’s my first gold tipped nib and it’s the smoothest pen I’ve used!
It's a good thing I live near a border town! No international orders on this one. I plan on getting a US mailbox exactly for things like this
Right! It’s so frustrating!
How do you manage?
I’ve got family just across the border, for bigger items. For smaller things I just cross my fingers and hope customs doesn’t check. It’s about 50/50.
Customs a problem with gold tipped pens?
From Japan, yeah.
This is the one I got:
