An OHTO Rook compact FP in silver/orange.

And this tiny Pearl Swirl pen/pencil set "in working condition" (hmm) :

Nothing special, but a few weeks back I ordered a Neon Lime Safari at La Couronne du Comte and today I heard that they can't order it at Lamy anymore so they offered to change my order to an Al-Star for the price of the Safari.

 

So now I'm waiting for my Al-Star to come :)

In my experience (as a saTisfied customer only) I would say that is typical of the level of customer service of Dennis and his colleagues.

 

Enjoy the Al-Star :) :thumbup:

Yesterday, I received a pen I'd totally forgotten I'd ordered. Not because it took so long (it actually came fairly quickly, from 2 states away) but it being a "buy it now" rather than an auction, so it was "OMG, grab it, quick!", done in 2 minutes and promptly forgotten.

Oh, yes, the pen - a purple Pelikano P460, still in the blister pack; a lovely dark purple, prettier than the pink, not as pretty as the red (because, well, red). Just need the blue, green and orange ones now.

Still waiting for my Edison Pearlette, 1.1 stub. Ordered more than two months ago. After six weeks in Dutch customs, it finally arrived two weeks ago - only to get stuck in customs here. Grrr!

 

Ahh, the Dutch customs... it is particularly "joyful" when combined with the US postal service.

I have a Nakaya that "disappeared" for 4 weeks in the dutch customs, finally surfaced last week. Only to stay put at same USPS facility since then...

Also a M400 brown tortoise, shipped expedite, which should arrive in no more than 5 days stayed almost 2 weeks in the Dutch customs. At least this one I'll get tomorrow.

 

I hope you get your Edison soon.

+1.

 

Sometimes, although not common, they (like everybody else) make a little mistake. But, in my experience, if this happens they will fix it to the customer satisfaction and advantage.

I am waiting for a ballpoint, none the less I am quite excited about it! A Parker Sonnet in black lacquer with silver trim. It will be my daily workhorse.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

I've just taken the plunge and ordered myself a Lamy 2000 from Goulet Pens! Not sure how long it will take to come all the way from the States, but a good couple of weeks, I imagine.

I plumped for a medium nib - I was planning on getting a broad, but apparently the 2000 writes very broadly anyway, so I went medium.

Thank you. It is indeed beautiful and writes great

 

Well, there is no limit to the USPS mess. The Nakaya finally arrived at the Post Office in my town, only to sit there for two days and be sent to a city 200 miles from here :gaah: . I guess I should be happy it was not sent to another country... :wallbash:

just broke down and ordered the new Conklin NightHawk, a special carbon fiber weave pen being made for Goulet. Getting excited now, should have it Saturday if Goulet is not snowed under with orders today.

You are right, I think the Lamy 2000 M is close to a broad. Nicely wet and smooth writers. My EF is close to a medium nib on most pens. But I love these pens, and have two of them. Luckily, I only live 110 miles from Goulet Pen Co.

      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
