[Pen/Pencil Review] Preview of Upcoming Attractions
Yeah, I know… I didn’t get a blog done. Day Job is a bit discombobulated with the tornadoes that went through the area on Saturday. Our home and family is fine – the tornadoes went pretty far east of us. But my job is dealing with quite a bit of the aftermath. Therefore… a preview […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] ONLINE Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus
This week’s pen is an interesting combination of Old School and New School – it’s the Online Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus that I picked up at Paradise Pen Company this past weekend. The Online brand is out of Germany and makes pretty nice modern fountain pen. This is no exception. The Switch is part […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao/Edelstein Revisit
Oh, hi… Monday, you’re slipping away from me. I should try to get something done… But first, a couple of interesting notes: The Pelikan Edelstein long cartridge DOES fit in the Jinhao fountain pen barrel. HUZZAH. The Jinhao’s – which I’ve reviewed before – have a sturdier clip and a better grip than the Pelikan […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pelikan Edelstein Garnet Ink Cartridges
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my awesome Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen from Pen Chalet – which is still awesome. However, what’s not as praiseworthy was the Pelikan Edelstein Ink Cartridges. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the Garnet color. It’s a super deep red – kind of like a blood red that works […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Conklin Duragraph from Pen Chalet
Last week I had one of those experiences that all pen blog writers dream of, a pen shop emailed me to ask me if they sent me a pen, would I review it honestly and provide a few links. Um, gee, let me think about that for a second…yes. Therefore, I’d like to formally thank […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The JetPens Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen
Today’s pen review is another small fountain pen. This one is JetPens.com Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen. Which is a slight redundancy since “chibi” means “small” in Japanese. This cute little guy has JetPens.com embossed on the clip. This cute little guy is a bit longer than the Pilot Petit fountain pens. The pen is about 4.75″ […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Replica Blue Fountain Pen – Piston Fill
Like I said last week, I really need to learn to do these the night before. Monday’s are getting away from me. We had Day Job Departmental Holiday Dinner. Jimmy got to meet the new group of people I work with. But that means I’m woefully behind. This is one of the last pieces from […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao Ebony Jewel Fountain Pen in Red
So, I forgot the pen I intended to do for today’s blog. Discovered another required bottled ink – which is at home… but have no fear. I have a pen to review! I only acquired a few things this year at the Dallas Pen Show because of budgetary restrictions. This is one of them. I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] ONLINE Schreibergerate Fountain Pen Medium Nib
Back in February I did my Birthday Pilgrimage to Paradise Pen Company in Dallas. I try to pick up something I’ve never bought before. This time I picked up a Schreibgerate ONLINE fountain pen with a medium point nib. This one is part of the ONLINE Academy line designed for “Young” writers. And as the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] J. Herbin Lie de The (Tea Brown) Ink
So last week, I talked about the J. Herbin roller ball hybrid pen that I really like. Because I have some family stuff to deal with this week, I’m just going to add to that by talking about the Lie de Thé (Tea Brown) ink from the same company. You saw it a bit in […]
