What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015

[FOUR X FOUR]

I ordered 4 Platinum preppies and four bottles of Noodlers ink. And yes I still want to to make the collage with the ink labels. The hard part is keeping the ink off the labels. I think my next real purchase, I think will be the Pilot custom 823.

Whoot! My TWSBI Vac700 in Smoke came in today!! Now, which ink to test it out on. It'll be used for Platinum Carbon Black in the end, but to make sure everything is working, I want to use an ink that won't stain my fingers badly, should I have to make adjustments. Excitement!

According to the tracking number tomorrow I'll receive two used MB 146 bought in auctions, one with F nib, the other with a BB nib.

 

I'm still waiting my TWISBI VAC 700 since december, so I'm afraid it's lost...

I just ordered a Franklin Christoph model 20 Marietta. They went on sale today. The biggest decision was 'clip' or 'no clip.' I went 'no clip.' I really like that there's no threads on this pen.

A 3-pack of Hero Jumbos.

Like a Parker 51, but safe to bring to work

I just placed an order for a Pilot Kakuno in white and lavender. Definitely at the other end of the price spectrum compared to the previous posts, but it's a Pilot fine nib, and it's got a smiley face, so I think I'll be happy with it too

[Cordovian]

My first bird! An M800 with a fine nib.

...this nifty and inexpensive copper Hero 395, ordered from this eBay sale.

 

I love copper, and I wish I could find more pens made of it.

Been on a 6 month pen buying sabbatical since January. Suffering greatly :( Just looking at all of these beautiful pens is causing me to have withdrawal pains. Was trying to give myself time to use the pens I already have. So I will have to "wait" until June for the next "love of my life."

[Djehuty]

I feel your pain. My own pen-buying sabbatical has been even longer. I'd look at my pens to choose one to ink and think, "Yes, but I've already written with all of these!"

[Cordovian]

Yeah, the M800 I bought is sort of like a "Fat Tuesday" before a long pen fast which I'm calling my Penten Season.

^{3776 with music nib in Rhodium trim. hopefully it ships soon.}

I am not getting a Pelikan M800 brown tortoise with the IB nib. I'm NOT getting a Brown Tortoise with an IB nib. I'm not GETTING the M800 brown tortoise with an IB nib. Now way. Not even if I never get one. Not even if they vanish from the planet. No. No. No. No. No Brown Tortoise M800 with an IB nib.

 

I have an M800 Brown Tortoise with an IB nib on its way from Germany.

 

I did wait three months (was going to wait till fall).

 

Ha, very funny! I hope you enjoy the pen that is *not* arriving soon. The last pen I got recently is an M400 brown tortoise and it is worth all the

denials in my opinion

This looks gorgeous! I can't wait to try one out!! It is so on my list, just as soon as I get all the Pelikans I need to get!

I've just spent my pen funds in one go for this year on a Diplomat Excellence A Carya fountain pen. It's a strange pen as I consider it to be beautiful and hideous at the same time
