Good news. Platinum had a replacement barrel for my 3776 Century Shoji. And the Kawaguchi has made it to Memphis. Probably making a quick stop to watch the duck march at the Peabody before taking the last leg home.

Waiting on a Jinhao X750 Shimmering Sands (estimated to arrive sometime in early August) and a Dark Lilac Lamy Safari that is due to arrive on Saturday, maybe Friday since my Goulet orders usually show up a day earlier than the estimated delivery date.

Not anything as amazing or exciting as some of you, but I'm on a strict budget of no more than what my husband has spent on PS4 games for any given month. :lol:

Now, the Yamaguchi has detoured to Atlanta! They could've dropped the pen by parachute to me on the way. Gone with the wind. Visiting Ms. Scarlett, I reckon.

Well, I was waiting, but it has arrived: A Pelikan M400 Old Style Brown Tortoise, plus a Pelikan M250 Old-Imprint nib, ground to a .3mm and tuned by John Mottishaw. Yeah, I'm a happy camper!

In addition to the Jinhao X750 Shimmering Sands and a Lamy Dark Lilac Safari, I'm also now waiting on a Hero 616 I got for 99 cents plus free shipping on eBay.

Another one you must bring to the Hub! OBB - drooling.

Last night I ordered a Tactile Turn GIST pen in copper. My first copper pen, and I had not heard of Tactile Turn pens until Brian Goulet announced yesterday that they are now carrying them at Goulet Pens. They are carrying the all black Makrolon and the all copper models. Should get it Saturday or Monday, depending on when Goulet can get my order in the mail.

 

Pens are made by a small machine shop in Texas. You can read more about them at Tactile Turn's web site or Brian's blog.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
