Lamy Set On Massdrop

[gwyneddd]

I ordered the latest Lamy massdrop (a Safari and a mechanical pencil) in Charcoal, with a fine nib. I'm excusing this additional pen purchase because I'm going to give it (along with Lamy ink) to my apprentice when he completes his "graduation" in January. He's been admiring my fountain pens at work, so I thought I'd gift him the pen and pencil set as a little congratulation gift. Sorely tempted to get one for myself but HOW many pens does one person need? Although I use and enjoy each one, I must say.

That is a very nice price for the set, and you can get almost any color (other than limited editions, of course) or nib size, which is cool. I wish they included the Lamy Vista, though, lol. Your apprentice (in what field? (not that it is any of my business! )) will be very happy!

 

As far as how many pens one needs, I thought that had to do with how much storage you have available. If you have empty slots in your storage container, doesn't that mean you need to keep buying pens to fill it?!? And then when someone gives you a new storage container, you need to buy more pens, and.... Isn't that the way it is supposed to go? lol - You obviously have more will power than I do.....

Nicely done; I am sure he will love it - great color ~

I'm glad to see there are others that use the space available defense

We're financial advisors. He was admiring my pens (in particular, a TWSBI) but he hasn't seen the Lamys yet. And since he writes a lot of notes in both pencil and pen, I thought the charcoal set would be really nice for him. (I'd like to own it myself, a good way to judge a gift.) I think he'll enjoy these. I use a FP now to sign all the paperwork I have to sign, and to write thank you notes and sympathy cards (professional duties.) The FP's are much more elegant for note writing. I am going to throw in a bottle of Lamy black ink, too.
