[Pen/Pencil Review] The Graphite Pencil + Paper Subscription Box
I attempted an unboxing video for this blog. I still stink at selfies – and stink worse at video selfies. I probably didn’t even do the unboxing part right. This was a Christmas present from Jimmy – the Graphite Pencil + Paper January Subscription Box. Be kind to me on this one, but here we […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Updatey, Rerunny Pen Blog – Pentel Again
This week is going to be a little bit of an update and a little bit of a rerun, because it’s just that kind of week. So, first, a quick follow up on the blog of two weeks ago – the PenWorld Retro 51 Fountain Pen. They saw the post and the nib is apparently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni Jetstream 4 + 1 Multi-Function 0.7mm

[Pen/Pencil Review] Retro 1951 Tornado Fountain Pen – Pen World Edition
Welcome to Part Two! This week is the Pen World Retro 1951 Tornado Fountain Pen.

[Pen/Pencil Review] Retro 1951 Tornado Rollerball – Pen World Edition
I now have a set of pens that I am probably going to have to do a two-parter on. Between the Dallas Pen Show and Christmas I have acquired the Retro 1951 Tornado roller ball and fountain pen built for Pen World Magazine. It mixes my two loves – reading about the pens and actually […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Happy New Year – 2020 edition
We are all going to be doing “vision” jokes for the next year. I wish I could say everything was going to be on time and brilliant – because it’ll be one or the other, and sometimes neither, consistent might be a thing. But I promise to do my best. There will always be things […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] The Milloo Minos No2 Backpack
This week’s pen blog isn’t a pen, but it came from an online pen store. For quite a while I’ve been looking for a great bag for work. I love leather. I thought I was probably looking for a messenger bag, but then during Thanksgiving weekend, this bag made itself known. It’s the Milloo backpack […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Reindeer Bird Christmas Ballpoint Pen
It’s not a holiday season without at least one funny novelty pen. This one was from the last trip to DAISO. It’s silly and fluffy and cheap. I had to have it. This is a fluffy brown, duck-billed, flamingo thing wearing reindeer antlers and a jingle bell ball point pen. The ink point is a […]
