Pilot Metropolitan VS Pilot Explorer: Which Fountain Pen Is Better?

While I've made a Pilot Metropolitan review before, I have yet to make a Pilot Explorer review...until now! And rather than focus my entire video on the Explorer, I've decided to make this a comparison video between two of Pilot's entry level fountain pens. While the Pilot Metropolitan is one of the best beginner fountain pens out there, and certainly one of the most popular, the Pilot Explorer has largely flown under the radar. Has it been unfairly overlooked? #PilotMetropolitan #PilotExplorer #fountainpen
