Do cheap brush pens actually save you money? Or are expensive brush pens worth it? I compared the cheapest brush pen I've tried and the most expensive brush pen (although I'm sure there are some more expensive out there). What do you think???

ABOUT ME:
Hello lettering friend! I’m Sarah from Ensign Insights. I started hand lettering in 2016 during a really difficult time and hand lettering reminded me how to be happy. I dove in head first and haven’t looked back! I started teaching lettering and sharing that joy I found with others. My goal is to help you create hand lettering that feels like your best self. Most recently I've been doing that through a Hand Lettering Journal which is simply a journal filled with your own lettering! In 2021 my first book was published, Hand Lettering for Beginners. It includes everything I wish I had when I got started. I used to be addicted to buying new pens, and while I still love pens, I’m on a journey toward minimalism so I’ve been decluttering A LOT of pens. I’ve realized I’m more creative when I have just enough pens, not too many. I firmly believe that you can create something beautiful with what you have! The way you create right now is exactly where you need to be. Thank you for being here! :)
