Am I an over-inker?
On my desk I have a lovely 23-pen display box where I keep all my inked pens, whilst my uninked pens live in a 48-pen case in my drawer. 23 pens is a lot to have inked at once, but since the box holds that many, I set that as my arbitrary limit… Except that… Read more

Review: Ferris Wheel Press Carousel Fountain Pen
Recently I’ve been trying to get some fountain pens back into rotation that I haven’t used in a while. One of the pens I rediscovered was the Ferris Wheel Press Carousel fountain pen in the Poison Envy colour that I bought very early on in my fountain pen journey. Until now I’d only had it… Read more

My Most Used Pens and Inks – October 2024
This month I started a new job in a brand new field, and whilst it’s been great, it’s also been stressful. So whilst I haven’t had as much time as I’d have liked to write and use my pens this month, when I have had the time, it’s truly felt like my safe haven. So… Read more

Whilst I still have my usual large number of pens inked (30+…yes, I know!), I feel like I’ve mostly been using a smaller pool of favourites this month. Which probably means I should be cleaning out some lesser used pens! Two trusty favourites that don’t seem to leave my rotation these days is my Platinum… Read more

Review: Kaweco Art Sport Hickory Brown Fountain Pen
I’d had my eye on the Kaweco Art Sport fountain pens since their release, but could never really justify spending almost £100 on what was basically another plastic Kaweco Sport. Yes, unlike the regular Sports the Art Sports are acrylic, and they have stunning patterns on them, and a built-in clip, but the price still… Read more

Review: Sailor Pro Gear Slim Grateful Crane Fountain Pen
One of the pens I’ve been most interested in trying since I first got into fountain pens was the Sailor Pro Gear Slim. For one thing, I was intrigued by the famous Sailor feedback, and for another… well, they’re just really pretty pens that come in an endless array of colours and editions. I was… Read more
