Looking forward to seeing you both at the San Francisco Pen Show!

 

My question is: Who is going to take responsibility for showing Shawn how delicious good dim sum is?

Thank you Mr. Newton for providing this link; I just enjoyed another "get together;" I want you & Mrs. Vanness to know how much I enjoy your "Non-Professional" videos.

This week the addition of the Guest Dog, provided the extra bonus that made this one, "the best YET!" Seriously, it is such a delightful experience to put faces to persons we know by reputation, only to find them to be enjoyable & honest company. To spend time with two extremely successful Professionals, without pretense, criticism of their work world or self promotion, is a rare experience in today's world. You are both Masters of your trade, but seem just happy with your interests & enjoying the shared experiences with your viewers.

 

Thank you again; enjoy your time between videos, be assured they they are enjoyed, "AS IS" & keep doing what you both do so well, knowing they are appreciated. Sometimes the nicest products come in simple packaging, without "bells & whistles."

I'm not so sure I'll be trying dim sum again. :)

 

And Barkingpig, thanks so much for the kind words. We'll keep making them as long as we get a few comments like this. :)
Thanks!

Are you coming to the SF show? If so it would be great to meet you in person after enjoying your pens.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Good to know that we can have fun even with chewed ears.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
