^the hemingway was advertised here on FPN for $1,500--almost new in box, with an OBB nib ;) that was sweet enough of a deal for me to fly over.

 

yes, i've met mr. lai a couple of times--i got a conway stewart churchill from his shop and later ordered a CS marlborough from him, which he delivered by fedex from KL to my doorstep in manila within 18 hours! amazing. will make sure to visit the new place next time i'm in KL.

Hello Abuomar and Welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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

      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.
