[Pen/Pencil Reveiw] Memorial Day Holiday Rerun – The Lamy Studio

[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Disposable Fountain Pen
This week’s pen review comes on the heels of having a random fountain pen discussion with an artist at local art festival. He was also a “pen guy” and dug fountain pens. He’s never heard of the BIC disposable fountain pen – and since I have (had) about five – I gave him the one […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Penmanship Fountain Pen – Extra Fine Nib
No, don’t blink. You’re not seeing double – much. The Pilot Penmanship Fountain Pen does indeed look very much like the >Pilot Plumix, but with some definitely differences – and it’s the pen I’ve been picking up the last couple of days, so it’s time. This is a pen I had on my JetPens wish […]
[Pen/Pencil Review Post] The Pilot Plumix – Medium Nib Beginner Fountain Pen
This week, we take another look at fountain pens – specifically the Pilot Plumix. This is actually the second Plumix I’ve owned.

[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pelikan School Fountain Pen – Right Handed, Fine Point
This week’s review is the Pelikan School Fountain Pen – fine point, right handed. Yes, it says so on the box . I’ve used Pelikan inks for a long time since the ink cartridges also work in Waterman fountain pens and many other pens that use the small cartridges – except they come in much […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TWSBI Diamond 540
A couple of weeks back my household had debacle with the post office. Much of our mail went astray (some still lingers in limbo). One piece of mail slipped past the Event Horizon to make it into our possession… the delivery of our TWSBI Diamond 540s EF nibs. Jimmy ordered the clear for himself and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The OHTO Rook from JetPens.com
I was thrilled last week when Brad Dowdy from JetPens.com emailed me out-of-the-blue and asked if I would be interested in reviewing something for JetPens if he sent it to me. My response was only slightly more professional than “Duh!” and “HECK YES!” I LOVE JetPens.com. My limited disposable income is often split between bookstores […]
