What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

An Aurora Optima Blue Auroloide with gold trim and a stub nib. I actually cancelled my third Nakaya--a pen I love-- for this Optima.

Sometimes the cat needs a new cat toy. And sometimes I need a new pen.

That is a very pretty pen.

A Levenger L-Tech Chrome with a F nib

 

Did you get the Massdrop one too? Mine just came in today ... it's massively built. Very solid.

 

Comes in a nice metal case.

 

Also, it's machined in perfect alignment : when I close the pen, the sides on the cap and the barrel line up exactly.

 

The converter is huge. I haven't measured it, but I think the capacity is on par with the Con 70.

 

One thing I know for sure : I won't be taking this pen on an aeroplane. They'll either confiscate it (being all metal and stabby-stabby) or kick me out and tell me to take the bloody train.

 

Pretty happy so far.

Burgundy Valiant, dove gray 51, & after I'd just said to myself I should take a breather before doing any more spending, I picked up a NoNonsense with the italic F/M/B nib set & a converter to go with it.

 

NOW I'm going to have to stop for a second & take stock of what I have before throwing more money at things.

Wing Sung 590

Jinhao X750 (Matte)

 

I plan on completely disassembling the Wing Sung 590 and giving it a matte finish using some scotch brite scouring pads.

I got an email this week that Tim Girdler was through with my pens, and that they were ready to be shipped, so I'm waiting for a couple of pens to return from him.

Although I swore I'd never buy one (not crazy about how they look), I caved and ordered a Lamy Safari F in their wonderful candy pink - so ugly, it's cute. And an Estie 2968 nib to replace the one I murdered. :crybaby:

Welcome to the dark side. I've only been here a month myself, and now I have eight (8!) Al-Stars in assorted colors. :blush:

When I first saw the Lamy Safaris, I swore they were so ugly I would never buy one. 2 Al-Stars and 2 Safaris later.... I swear, that deep purple seduced me and turned it into a fetish.
