Based on what I've seen at Grayson Tighe's website, it seems he's made himself the Gil Hibben of fountain pens. Since his own father's a well-known knifemaker, I'm sure he'd know what I mean by that if he happened onto this thread.

oooh fantasy pens.

I just visited Tighe's site and took a look at the aforementioned pens... I was strangely unimpressed, did not really think these were pornographic at all, but rather poorly rendered visions of the female form.

Just had a look. I just don't see anything pronographic about this pen. I wouldn't buy it, but if it were given to me, I would feel a need to hide it from my kids (Assuming I had kids).

 

Now those Visconti, Shunga, The Erotic Art Pen Collection, that's something you wouldn't want the young ones to to see. :o ***Warning***

PS: The greatest irony of the fiasco is that for all the attention these pens have received , the one review I have reading which the pen was impartially reviewed found it to be less than mediocre in writing terms and lacking in terms of style and quality.

Hi James,

Denis.

 

I'll try and find it, I'm terrible rememberting where I've read things though.

 

PS: Sorry everyone for the grammatical error "I have reading" :blink: - it was late lol

I am not intrigued by this discussion of the ads, but I am always curious about the written word and have never seen this magazine. Advertising aside, how is it? I can't find it online.

 

I read magazines and the only one I've seen on the newsstand is Pen World International. While looking for Stylus just now I also found one called Stylophiles but note that they have stopped publication. I imagine these magazines are quite expensive to print.

We're not discussing just the adds, these pens are reviewed in the mag and given double-page exposure (pardon the phrase).

Advertising aside I like the magazine. I tried to let the ads not bother me, but I found myself muttering each time a new issue came.

 

BTW, it may be a matter of semantics but I don't see the ads or the pens as porn. Just images that I don't care to look at, wouldn't want my young children (if I had them) looking at, and most importantly are not aimed at attracting my busisness.

I finally got my Stylus yesterday. Is it me or the end of the article on the Krone Einstein is missing ? I can't find it anywhere.

 

Not a bad issue : I really like Greg's article on SITB (So it is alive after all !!); No Krone fashion models in double page spreads :D; Nice article from Richard and Antonios on flexible nibs.

I agree with you Denis. It just kinda stops with no real ending.

According to PT guess who's in this months "fresh" edition of stylus.

 

J :ph34r:

Let's see, my best guess would be at least 2 of the following 4

 

a Tighe article

a OMAS article

A Montblanc article

a Lominchay article

 

 

It wouldn't by Stylus without kowtowing to the ad clients :lol:

Are you ready for this?

 

I used to like pornography until I broke the "Stylus" on my pornograph.

Well... as I said before, I think it's not astonishing that a magazine would do some "favours" to its advertisers. It keeps the cash coming.

 

If you want to see the bright side of it, it may be a tad annoying to see the same faces/brands praised all the time, but it allows the publication to bring you the other content that is more interesting.

Unfortunately there is little room left for interesting material in Stylus. <_<

But I also stopped buying PenWorld because it was mostly sizzle without alot of good articles. It's the same cost as a bottle of ink and I would feel better with a bottle every two months than the magazines.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
