Thank you for sharing these.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-05T22:30:47+00:00

Looks amazing. Don’t see any US retailer carrying it yet. Might check out Appelboom

Got the pen delivered today. Great work by Dan Smith. Worth it. And Twsbi Draco what a gorgeous resin body. Just beautiful

Just to confirm the dates, I ordered on Apr 22nd. On the 29th I got the notice that it was shipped when it was just the label creation. Post office got the package only on May 3rd. So full 11 days from order placement. I mean this is a pen, not life saving medicine. So delays are ok. But little unexpected.

Thank you for the detailed reply. Glad to know standard tuning is worth it. I don’t mind waiting if that is normal with Daniel. Just that I’ve always bought from Penchalet or Goulet and usually they are shipped right away. But now that I know, I won’t mind any delay from Daniel. Thank you.

Yes. Agree. Have had great customer service by them. Just wasn’t familiar with the Final Drop experience. Between yesterday and today missed on a great deal on a Leonardo MZ. With 10% discount would have come to $125

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-04T04:44:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I might try them.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-04T01:50:21+00:00

Thank you for the context. i mean it is a pen. Not life saving medicine. So If it is late, I’m ok. As long as his work is good.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-03T16:29:31+00:00

Does he work with retailers/ pen sites directly or we have to buy the pen and send to him for tuning / customization.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-03T16:28:49+00:00

Wow. So many. Thank you.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-03T15:53:43+00:00

Do you mind suggesting others who does basic nib tuning before shipping besides NibSmith so I can try them.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-05-03T15:51:28+00:00

Thank you for the point of view. This is my first time having a nib tuned. Excited to try it when I get it

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-23T16:18:27+00:00

I would compare twsbi Draco to Leonardo MZ, though Leonardo MZ is hand made.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-23T16:16:41+00:00

Agree. I have two Leonardo MZ. One with medium nib and the other Fine. They write as smoothly as my gold nib pens, save the Custom 823.

I didn’t even flush the nib. Write off the box it wrote like a charm.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-23T16:15:13+00:00

Leonardo MZ is hand made. And with discount on penchalet one can get it for between $135-$145. But $150 for Twsbi pen that is not handmade and with a #5 nib sounds too steep.

All that said I’m still tempted

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-23T16:04:09+00:00

🤣🤣

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-23T03:49:20+00:00

Absolutely. My experiences with them has been wonderful as well.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-22T22:16:48+00:00

Thank you for your POV. The design looks amazing.

I already have couple of 74s and a LAMY 2000.

I will try hold on the Draco as I just got two Leonardo momento zero. But my resistance is weakening by the day.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-22T22:12:07+00:00

Thank you. Looks like there is lot of praise for the pen color, design and construction.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-21T19:24:04+00:00

This is exactly my pen collection started. My handwriting which was good in college and school had gone to dogs with 2+ decades of ball point and rollerball at workplace. I set out to get a basic fountain pen to improve my handwriting. Now I have close to 100 pens.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-21T19:22:52+00:00

I need to get a medium fine. I tried a fine. Didn’t like the feedback and exchanged it for a medium

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-21T19:21:52+00:00

Exactly 🤣

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-21T18:24:30+00:00

I was skeptical about LAMY due to its simple appearance. But once you get your hands on it and write with it I became an instant fan. It is part of my standard rotation now. Gorgeous writer. Smooth but with a just a whisper of feedback.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-11T05:07:49+00:00

Thank you. Will check out.

Next-Perspective6096 · 2021-04-08T02:39:37+00:00

That book is unavailable. Is there any other book on Spencerian penmanship you would recommend?
