Ordered from Vanness & Goulet late Friday afternoon & Anderson Saturday night. Order from Vanness arrived Monday morning. Almost as fast as Jimmy Johns!

Goulet & Anderson arrived today. Can't complain about any of these companies.

Ordered 2 bottles of MB JFK from FPH last night.

Junped on the "new" Sailor colours bandwagon, and ordered two: Kin-Mokusei and Rikyu-Cha. And also a bottle of Souten. And Iroshizuku Yama-Budo, like I need another purple ink.

Practice, patience, perseverance

Couple bottles of MB JFK coming here too. And I took a chance on an old style shoe bottle of MB Blue Black. Waiting on the Edelstein Smoky Quartz, hoping Pelikan introduces a new pen to go with it.

I think it kinda "crept up," because I spent a week in disbelief after seeing it; I frantically googled myself silly trying to find ANY previous mention of same & finally decided it must have just been a well kept secret.

 

BUT, those "good folks" that sold it, did "just happen to find an extra bottle," so I will be able to "see for myself," since they shipped today!

 

NOW, if I next hear about Hakase ORANGE................................

As most of you know by now, this was not Maruzen Athena Orange, as advertised in the eBay listing, but rather Maruzen Athena Sepia. The little color sticker did look rather more orange than brown, and I suppose that deceived the seller. Not that I'm terribly disappointed--I'm more than happy to have the Sepia, which is a magnificent ink. I'm just sorry that we almost gave Claudia a heart attack.

I contacted the seller about his mistake a few days ago. Told him there was no Athena Orange. The Ebay messages can be easy to overlook, so I'm unsure if he's read it.

The seller is a Greek lady. She is unlikely to admit any error. I know this because I am married to a Greek lady.

      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
