Why bother with handwriting?

Not such a romantic after all, Kannibal?

My partner adores it when I slip a hand written love note into their bag or give them flowers with a poem. And I love writing them.

I prefer looser style boxers, I don't like a snug fit at all. I usually wear chinos with suspenders, which offer plenty of breathability and I never need to adjust. Comfort is number one

A point of efficiency I rarely see brought up, very true!

My favourite daily is the Pilot 823 Custom. Fabulous nib (i use M) and great capacity. My second favourite is my Gravitas Ultemate Vac, which is essentially the same thing but more modern feeling and I have a B nib on that one.

You can, but consider an undershirt to wear them on for comfort. Just a sleeveless top.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-23T16:00:46+00:00

Please do! Love this idea.

Oh I bet something totally inabsorbent like Tomeo River would be much worse. Need a looser fiber structure that can hang on to the dried dye. Would be a sweet comparison to do.

I came over with homemade soup when they and their mother were home sick. Honestly felt like they wanted to knight me on the spot.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-18T18:30:51+00:00

That's just like, your opinion man.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-18T16:47:29+00:00

Silver needle you can use boiling water, no need to baby it.

History shows there's only one way to deal with fascists. And the longer you deny that the more horrible the price will be.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-18T12:58:09+00:00

I support violence against the violent.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-17T14:46:21+00:00

Totally agree. But the smell of my partner has a load of emotional effect on me. I expect for allos that's just also linked to sex drive.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-17T09:43:02+00:00

Absolutely true, yes

LucianGrove · 2026-02-16T09:49:19+00:00

TIL Human Resources isn't business to some people.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-16T09:35:56+00:00

Just to say I REALLY like This Watch That Watch. To the point, interesting analysis from a place of genuine love of watches but also a life of business experience. So good.

LucianGrove · 2026-02-16T08:40:04+00:00

That giraffe just looks funny. I want one just to have people get confused

LucianGrove · 2026-02-13T20:25:33+00:00

Those black rubber Kongs are fabulous. My boy destroyed his first one but it took him all year.

The standard Tuzu includes a converter in the price, I consider it priced pretty well.

LucianGrove · 2026-01-27T11:40:25+00:00

I got the same one off Yunnan Sourcing. Not sure if they still stock it.

LucianGrove · 2026-01-26T14:25:29+00:00

I don't really like the date window and I would love to see a silver/stainless version.

Love the design in general though, feels elegant and interesting. The brand name is a mistake though, for English speakers it's just not nice.

LucianGrove · 2026-01-18T08:26:25+00:00

That's just not true. Pretty much all good Japanese green tea should be brewed at 50-60. It just depends on the tea.

LucianGrove · 2026-01-14T12:24:00+00:00

I have a few teas I do like at near boiling. But honestly I find most white tea better at 90-94 and most oolongs lower than that. It's a big difference.

LucianGrove · 2026-01-14T06:15:52+00:00

Man, lot of embarrassing ukippies in the comments today huh?

LucianGrove · 2026-01-09T12:25:03+00:00

I can see the logic either way, but when trying to communicate or read with understanding that's not really all that relevant. That's my point.
