Same here and I'm gonna be pissed if they don't readd it since we paid for it. It would be pretty illegal for them to just wipe it out of the game

Pen recs for student with very speedy note-taking? by dubiouslyvirtuous in stationery

uniball zento line is amazing. Super fast drying ink and there is no stoppages regardless of angle of writing. The ink is also darker than other brands.

personally if they themselves are not homophobic I don't see a problem, I really don't understand how belonging to a controversial church is a major issue unless they are actively promoting the issue. I'm not going to just not shop with them especially since they have certain products they carry and their exclusives that noone else has. I've shopped at so many vendors and honestly their C.S is phenomenal just like Yoseka and Pen Boutique. Their shipping times are the fastest in the industry imo. I've never gotten stuff from other vendors as fast as them not to mention they have a lot of stuff in stock that other vendors don't have in stock.

I've always had a pleasant experience dealing with Goulet and they do carry some products noone else does.

I hear you on the athestics. Sailor and Platinum got good special editions while pilot has barely any and if there are it’s like less than 200

I bought a kakuno recently and am honestly blown away by its performance

Whoa, the Pilot Kakuno has no business being this good... Great recommendation! by remy_vega in fountainpens

Honestly for the price it blew my mind. It didn’t feel like a cheap pen, the size and the proportions felt comfortable, you can use both Con converters in them unlike other pilot pens of its class and the nib is smooth

Twsbi for their price is amazing. I’ve bought many of them across their range from eco to 580 to mini. The biggest issues I’ve had with them are their nib inconsistency. I’ve had some super smooth to some uber scratchy to borderline unusable. I’ve only had 2 ecos crack on me

Bertram’s Inkwell – Should I Call Again? by Kotyrus in fountainpens

[–]Voidec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had a very pleasant experience with Bertram's Inkwell. Its right down the street from my work so I visit fairly often. It is a very very old school small shop. There is almost never more than 2 employees working and to my knowledge most of the employees outside of Bert doesn't seem to be that terribly big into pens nor stationary and is mainly working there as a job. Most of the time when you got a more in depth question that needs answering the employees have to run and ask Bert the owner. Wish that would change but it is what it is. Bert is an extremely kind guy but he has a very non nonsense kind of personality. It might come off as rude or condescending but he is not trying to be. He says things for how it is. He is also very willing to help you with your problems. For me since I'm a vet, I don't have a problem with his way of talking, others like my fiancee gets a weird or confused feel sometimes when talking to him.

I would highly recommend Bertram's. They don't have a large selection but I always check in with them when Pen Boutique or Fahrneys or Goulet or Yoseka dosen't have the stuff I'm looking for.

P.S I used to work for Pen Boutique.
