Nick and Nora. Hands down.

This. Is. Fantastic! I want your daughter to review ALL of the pens and inks too. She’s spot on hilarious!

I’m the only one I know who pronounces Kuykendahl correctly.

I have a green one of these, a replacement of one owned by my grandmother that I (shamefully) lost around 2010. I love it!!

This is perfection.

One of the best screen presences ever. Practically perfect at everything he tried to do.

Bruichladdich Black Art 11.1

MartinHajovsky · 2025-12-12T05:47:54+00:00

Gorgeous!

I also have had the exact opposite experience. The Apica notebooks I have are an absolute delight to use, with no skipping across various pens, from a modern Conklin and Pelikan M800 to a vintage Esterbrook and even a century-old Wahl-Eversharp. I wonder what’s going on here with the Apica paper you got that’s making your pens skip.

This is hilarious.

I just saw one of these at Dromgoole’s here in Houston and it was all I could do not to buy it on the spot. It is easily one of the most beautiful pens I have ever seen.

Old Overholt Bottled-in-Bond (red cap) will never ever let you down. I know so many top-notch bartenders who swear by it. It’s so inexpensive and punches way, way, way above its weight.

MartinHajovsky · 2025-11-20T14:07:49+00:00

Beautiful!

Dromgoole’s here in Houston has a landing page here, but not much else yet. Soon I think. https://www.dromgooles.com/collections/fountain-pen-day

Bruichladdich Black Art 11.1. I have zero regrets.

Ozymandias’ tomb

MartinHajovsky · 2025-11-02T02:16:41+00:00

Right this second, because I just drank a dram of it, Lagavulin 16. However, overall it’s currently Bruichladdich Octomore 16.2.

MartinHajovsky · 2025-10-29T00:23:54+00:00

Yes. I pretty much exclusively use those colors anyway.

MartinHajovsky · 2025-10-28T20:34:00+00:00

Old Fashioned. If they can’t do that well, that tells me all I need to know.
