Laywines In Toronto


Larry Barrieau

Recommended Posts

Laywines doesn't sell Noodlers ink, probably because they believe that it destroys pens. I think that it has been shown by the vast amount of ink sold by Noodlers that the scare is blown out of proportion. Maybe a few inks have poorly reacted with some pens and sacs. A guy is working hard to produce a good product at a good price and has thousands of very happy customers. They should put it on their shelves and let their customers decide.

 

Bye the way, I like Laywines very much! It's always a good experience to go there, they are helpful and friendly.

 

Looking for a black SJ Transitional Esterbrook Pen. (It's smaller than an sj)

So buy your Noodler's at Wonderpens - they have an amazing selection, and are absolutely amazing to deal with... Far be it for me to tell someone how to run their business - I just vote with my wallet.

I will go back to Wonderpens too, and I'm not telling Laywines how to run their business. I'm just telling them what one of their customers would like to see on their shelves and I'm guessing that I'm not alone.

From what I understand, Laywine's used to carry Noodler's ink, but stopped a few years ago. It's also possible that they aren't happy with Nathan's injection of his political views into his product line, but that probably isn't it. When Wonder Pens was out of a Noodler's ink I needed last year and I called Laywine's, the woman on the phone actually suggested to check Wonder Pens. I respected the honesty and I think both stores are great.

 

There's another upscale pen and cigar store in Toronto that also used to carry Noodler's, but I think they sold their remaining stock at reduced prices and stopped offering the brand at around the same time as Laywine's (never been to this store, so if I'm wrong, someone please correct me).

      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
