Favourite Writer's Edition?

[Rindholt]

I am new to the Writer's Edition series. I recently acquired a Balzac and I love it. So different than other production MB pens. What is your favourite Writer's Edition and why?

[meiers]

I like the Mark Twain WE for its exaggerated design features. Perhaps I will acquire the Agatha Christie pen in the future.

[thygreyt]

Twain.. such a beautiful and subtle design.

 

I wanted to like Shakespeare, but it was too much.

[zaddick]

Favorite: Hemingway because of the vintage look and shape, the clip, the resin colors and the lovely #9 nib. The Dumas is second for the shape and nib. I like the clip too.

 

WE I have the most connection to: Kafka as it is from the year my daughter was born. I bought one for her and one for me. Also, who can resist a cockroach on the nib?

My favourites designs are:

Hemingway

Christie

Verne

Twain

[Toll]

I only own one -- Faulkner -- and love it. I am reading War and Peace for the first time and I kind of widh I had bought the Tolstoy. I also like the Shaw and have come close to buying one. Maybe this year at the D.C. pen Show.

[isaacrn]

My favorites are Hemmingway, Verne and i love the big star on the Wilde

[Ghost Plane]

Shaw. The length, weight, and looks all work for me. Most WE are a little short for me.

Do you post the cap on any of them?

I have experimented with posting the cap on my Twain.

Only WE I have is a Dumas. Love it.

[AGxM]

Have none, but I'd love a Christie....

[PAKMAN]

Dumas, beautiful design and huge nib!

[oregano]

Oscar Wilde. It would be a little big and heavy for me, but I think I could swing it, just barely. I like the color and design of the resin, and have to admit the Sahara flavor makes me think of past writers.

 

2nd: I love the Defoe's nib and design; I love birds and the feather clip is a perfect theme for me.

I really like my Fitzgerald. It is very flashy I guess, but I do feel it is often overlooked.

[BrandonA]

Tough question.

 

Having recently had the nib tweaked and silver cleaned, the Proust is currently my favourite.

[Chrissy]

Have none, but I'd love a Christie....

 

+1 (I do have a couple though)

[Mainecoon]

It's Verne for me.

I'm mostly ending with picking that pen when I want to write with a WE. Followed bij Shaw (my first WE) and Twain.

A Proust is on my wishlist for some time now. Maybe I'll acquire that pen some day.

My 3 favorite writer's edition are Christie, Verne and Proust. However I still also enjoy the Dumas with its amazing size 9 nib, the Kafka, which I find beautiful with its dark red translucent barrel and the cockroach stamped on the nib, and the Dickens, which I find very elegant.

 

On the last years designs, the only one that I have found appealing is the Swift. Actually, I have used it almost as a "desk" pen, having a cap that's so large and can stand by itself.

[dubhe]

Wilde, Schiller and Verne, and I am lucky enough to have all three in use. I had a Dumas but found the design too much, though it was lovely to use. I sold it to help fund the others.

No. That's why I like the Shaw. It's long enough without & it balances nicely. Regular 146s are too short and light for me.
