What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015

[tragique]

Pilot Justus.. not the 95 but the original from 1978.

Waiting on a Jinhao 159 at the moment.

Probably cost a bit less than most of what the other posters herein are waiting for...

Pilot Stealth Vanishing Point with 0.45 cursive italic nib, and Kaweco Brass Sport with bronze clip.

Nothing wrong with that!! I have a few Jinhao pens, the 159 in gold color being my newest one. I have long fingers, so I really like the larger diameter for comfort. It's got some heft, but if you don't post the cap on the back, it feels pretty comfortable there too. ^_^

 

And it certainly makes a bold statement, lol.

Somehow I am falling off the wagon like crazy here !

 

I see that tracking says I'll get the Pilot Kakuno and Metropolitan I've been waiting for tomorrow, and maybe I will and maybe I won't. USPS is rather flaky sometimes.

 

But why did I fall off the wagon again earlier today and buy a Cross Stratford ? It even has proprietary cartridges ! Yes, I can refill them, as I refill others. But I do not need another fountain pen. And now I have three of them in the mail.

 

I can't get a lead on how long the Cross is going to take to get here. It's still “processing.”

 

And I am still eying a $20 bottle of ink. I need more ink even less than I need more fountain pens.

 

But NOOoooooo! The USPS site still says that the two Pilot pens from Jet Pens will arrive yesterday. They most certainly did not .

 

The Cross Stratford from E-Bay is still just “processing .”

 

And now I'm seriously fretting over the $20 ink purchase because they say that their economy shipping method from Japan has no tracking and no insurance, so I think that means that if I never get it or if the bottle is broken when it arrives then that is apparently just my tough luck .

 

To make this even more comical I am getting tempted to buy TWO bottles, the shipping is more economical that way .

 

Where did my wagon go?!?! I need to climb back on !

Waiting on another Lamy Safari in Lime Green. But this is the 2011 version with the matching lime green end cap plug. Not pens, but related, I'm also awaiting more Rhodia pads and three bottles of J. Herbin 1670 (the set minus Emeraude eau du Cheveaux).

Waiting for my last pen the Pilot VP "Twilight" and then my absolutely last pen a Nakaya Piccolo Cigar and then if nibs.com comes up with one my last cross my heart may I be burned at the stake pen a Nakaya Na-ai cigar Housoge Kikyo Platinum and then the last my really really last I swear on my mother's grave this is it pen a Danitrio Hyotan. That is it. I am done.

 

Oh yeah. I did ask nobs.com to look for a Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 2 Shobu, but after that no more, I promise.

None at the moment and I don't know I can really afford any more at the moment. I gave up waiting for the ones from Hong Kong....

[tutelman]

Another successful foray onto eBay: A Caran d'Ache Varius Carbon with a M nib.

Before they run out completely, I ordered a Delta Italiana, the pale version, white marble/chrome hardware. Should be here in a few days.

My Matsubokkuri White Mole Glass Dip Pen just came in today (last pen purchase of the year until the L.A. Pen show)! It's well balanced, deceptively light, yet quite solid and surprisingly comfortable to write with. I worried that the glass pen would be too weighty or that the tip would need sanding, but I was thankfully worried over nothing on both accounts.

 

Functionality aside, it's quite lovely.

 

Purchased from the Japanese retailer The Pen Room via their Rakuten store: http://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?k=matsubokkuri&sid=penroom&l-id=gs_product_search

 

As always, the packaging from The Pen Room is over-the-top, so I had no doubt that the glass dip pen would arrive safely; unbroken.

 

I'm hoping to do some informal ink reviews (in earnest) with it.
