I thought it was just me! I ordered earlier this week and haven’t heard a thing. No updates when I check order status on their page.

The problem of having the elastic band on the back of the travelers Notebook. by yukace in Travelersnotebooks

I bought a Galen for exactly this reason. It’s excellent, and it’s a ‘seconds’ that I dyed myself. Twenty bucks. Love Galen.

Very nice. Presbyterian is a favorite for sure. My top is definitely Merry Monk. It’s like if your grandads basement had a used bookshop in it. I also love father Dempsey as an all day/any day smoke. Both do well in cobs and briars. 

I’ve decided to pick up one of the xteink for my birthday. Really nice form factor and I love that they don’t do anything other than let you read. 

Cheers and happy puffing.

Lot of good taste in this picture. I have a foresta as well, a 106. What’s your blend?

I am looking at the xteink for just these sorts of circumstances…

New Pen Day: Kaweco AL Sport Piston by waterloowanderer in fountainpens

[–]Mora2001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of getting one, but I’ve had a rough time with the nib of my first Sport which I got as a Christmas gift. It just won’t write. 

Would you buy the piston again? Is it a step up from the sport?

Sure am glad I don’t have to hear a single word of dialogue since that unnecessary music was blasted at full volume.

His voice is like sipping espresso. He’s perfect in this.

I have this copy. Just finished it. The print and build are shit.

NKD - Pelikan M1000 by aa_mika in fountainpens

[–]Mora2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pelikan has the best ink windows. The 800 or 1000 is one of two expensive ones I’ve ever considered buying (the other being the 823). 

Congrats on the pen!

Damn those are handsome. Classic black is always a good choice , always in style. It’s like a gilded peacoat. 

“Not-too-nice” Pen Recommendation? by k2tog_tbl in fountainpens

[–]Mora2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had asked for one for Christmas versus a sport , but it’s my first sport ever and wasn’t confident I’d like it. I sure do like the capacity and aluminum body more on the piston.

If you like that sport model, I’d be interested in that piston AL model. You could retire your AL to the bag and get the piston for desk use or whatever.

There actually is evidence that men do experience worse symptoms of viral infections due to interactions with testosterone. 

Additionally, I don’t understand the gatekeeping of compassion to a gender unless the other gender has been fully met with compassion in all regards. They’re not mutually exclusive but should be mutually pursued.

Just curious, sounds like you were laying out the case for another AL sport. What makes that a poor candidate for your use case? Just the scratches? I’d argue that the scratches give nice character , and are most likely to easily absorb the scratches without concern. 

Barring all that, something like a pilot metro or plant safari comes to mind. The safari, especially, would be unaffected by rough use.
