What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015

Trick it out, TeaHive! I remember the way you did the extreme makeover on the Preppy.

 

Goulet Pen Co. had a buy one get one Jinhao special, so I'm getting three different models, and three "sparkly pens." Looking forward to saying ni hao to the Jinhaos.

 

Haha! I still use that Preppy quite often. I still don't think the cap is quite as snug as it needs to be (stupid, unfixable crack...), as it has some drying issues. But a couple shakes gets it going again.

 

If I didn't already have the Shimmering Sands version, I definitely would have taken advantage of that sale by now! The red one does look mighty nice.

[Dronak]

I took advantage of the BOGO deal at Goulet Pens to order a Jinhao 159 to get the shimmering sands X750 for free. I already have one X450, so I opted not to get another and to get two models I don't own instead. They've been shipped, along with more ink samples and some ink syringes, so I'll probably get them by the end of the week.

I'm waiting on a Conklin Mark Twain Crescent (orange, stub) that was so cheap on Massdrop I couldn't resist! And then they wrote to offer me another 10 bucks off because they couldn't fulfill black nibs, only silver. Sure, I'll take it even cheaper!

Still waiting for a couple of cheapy Jinhaos to arrive but starting to worry they may have gone missing in the mail system.

Decided to step out the Pelika... ahem, the comfort zone a bit and i fall in love with another Germany pen. The color is just too beautiful to resist.

 

Beside that baby, my waiting list is getting longer and longer:

- An old Pelikan 101N, green with 14c M nib.

- A Pelikan M605 blue with custom ground italic nib,

- A Pelikan M805 blue with M nib.

Parker 45 coronet, green/copper brown, mint. This is what it looks like (pic from pen collect).

Wow, that's one of the prettiest P45s I have seen...

What nib?

[nikolaiw]

Noodlers Ahab. It was cheap and I just gotta have some flex.

A costum made pen in sandalwood, made by Manoj.

 

I will be making a review, when I get it.

Steel "X" nib (extra fine) in the pen.

However, I have a very smooth 14k gold X nib that I may use instead in this pen. It probably will go better with the gold trim.

So you like them X? I have some M and F and one lovely italic nib!

 

Great pens, they don't make them to that any more!

I love them P45's X. All my solid gold X's write wetter than the steel ones though. My writing is small so Parker X and Japanese F are what I usually use.

Pens have a lot of personality. Once upon a time it annoyed me. Now, I enjoy them, especially when a pen's behavior reminds me of someone I know. Your Preppy reminds me of many of my running buddies: Stupid, unfixable crack. Give 'em a couple shakes, and they begin to function again.

I'm enjoying a red and black X450 today with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses. Heavy pen. Writes nice. The ink looks good.

Maybe they're looking for Amy Earhart.

That's a cool-looking pen, y'all.

Yeah, he cranks some cool pens. I enjoyed the video at fosforpens.com. I'll probably commission a driftwood pen and call it "Mugatu Derelicte"

 

Noodlers Ahab. It was cheap and I just gotta have some flex.

 

Everybody needs flex. I'm a left-handed overwriter, and I putt around with a couple Noodler's Konrads writing left-handed underwriting. The writing looks spastic, but I enjoy the pooling, shading, and line variation. Can never use it for work, but it's good for a few minutes of amusement now and again.

Alright Fly. Give the goods what pen is this. It's an FC, right?

It is a Graf von Faber-Castell Intuition Terracotta.

[FOUR X FOUR]

Fly_us, please tell me the name of this Graf Von Faber castel. Please. I can't find it anywhere.

Was it just a joke post?

[fly_us]

Just google "Graf von Faber-Castell Intuition Terracotta", there are plenty results about that pen.
