Review: PaperMate Replay Max
19 Nov 2009 | 4:11 amAside from a few dabblings here and there with Pilot FriXion's, I have pretty much sworn off erasable pens. They are usually too inconsistent from a writing perspective, don't erase well enough, or more times than not, both of those things. Unfortunately for the PaperMate Replay Max, it falls into the both of those things category.I keep threatening to do a bottom five pens post like I have done for the top five, but I just haven't made the time to do it. If I were to do one tomorrow, I'm pretty sure this pen would be included. I think it was back in my middle school days when I first… -

Review: Rotring Tikky Ballpoint 1.0mm
16 Nov 2009 | 4:11 amThe Rotring Tikky line has been around for a while, something which I didn't realize until reading a great review of the Tikky pencil line at Dave's Mechanical Pencils. I had actually already purchased the Tikky Ballpoint by the time Dave's review was posted, so I am glad I got some background on it in the meantime.First of all, this is a fantastic looking pen, and that is really what sold me on it. JetPens carries them in five barrel colors - black, white, blue, red, and yellow. While they are all great looking, the yellow really jumped of the page at me, so that was the one that came… -

Moleskine Surprise Boxes
19 Nov 2009 | 8:02 amFor your gift-giving in the coming holidays you may consider these attractive "Surprise Boxes" featured by Patrick Ng in his blog. He explains that "they are called surprise boxes for reason that the content is not exactly known to consumer. For example, in the Artistic set you get a pocket diary, classic large notebook and a large Cahier, but you won't know which style or color you will get..."

NOVA joins leading dream researchers as they embark on a variety of neurological and psychological experiments to investigate the world of sleep and dreams. Delving deep into the thoughts and brains of a variety of dreamers, scientists are asking important questions about the purpose of this mysterious realm we escape to at night.

Certification and Thank You

Quartet EnduraGlide
4 Nov 2009 | 7:00 pmNot the usual review I guess.I tried one of these markers once (for like 5 mins) and thought they were really cool, but no stores nearby carried these, so I was thinking about getting some online, and I never got them.Yesterday I went to Staples (with the clear intention of getting what I needed, not stopping anywhere else) and noticed that the pens/markers aisle had been rearranged and slightly improved, they had those stations where you can try some pens, and they had a lot of markers and pens available by the unit, including the EnduraGlide (and unlike before, they also had pretty much the… -
Pilot G-2, Revisited
14 Sep 2009 | 5:04 pmAbout 6 years after trying the G-2 for the first time, I feel it's time to write a 2nd review of it.As of now, I think that the G-2 is the pen family that allows the most customization, since you can choosea)4 different body styles and sizesb)4 different tip sizesc)many different colors (not available in all sizes)plus, you can fit cartridges designed fora)Q-7 (0.5mm gel)b) Precise Vx RT (5mm, 5mm liquid)c)VBall RT (EF, F, B, liquid)d) Mont Blanc Rollerball (Fine, Extra Fine, liquid)I decided to stick with the 0.7mm regular G-2, which has the most colors available and I find it to be the best… -
More Round Stics
30 Jul 2009 | 1:42 pmAnd as summer progresses, I keep on getting more pens in my collection, and as my travel and hotel stays continues, I've been able to get more Round Stic Pens.It turns out that some Marriott brands are renovating themselves, and with the renovations, comes an increased ecology thing, and more things are made from recycled materials, pens included.They moved away from the traditional white barrels and solid color caps, so the new Marriott pens have a translucent barrel with a dark translucent red caps (please note that it's not completely "clear" like the Diamante or Crystal pens), and the… -

Bic Triumph 537R
24 May 2009 | 12:26 amSo a couple of months back I went to Staples looking for nothing in specific and found some somewhat expensive Bic pens. I decided to think about them and come back later, mostly because of previous dissapointment with Bic pens (including the Z4 leak back in 7th grade). I grabbed a 4 pack a few days later and tried it out.This is one of the few refillable Bic pens (probably the only one unless you consider the 5 cents a piece stic pens, which are indeed refillable, but refills aren't sold -they must be sourced from another pen :|) and after trying it out I decided that it wasn't bad after…

Equology Scholar Planner (another post with too many pictures)
18 Nov 2009 | 11:55 amI don't know if anyone remembers when I posted about the Moleskine planner that I bought a while back. I loved the size and all of the features that it had. After using it for a while, however, I realized that the size wasn't right for me. I thought that I would be able to carry it around in my pocket but it was too thick. It is a great planner but I decided that for 2010 I would get something bigger that I could lay out flat on my desk. I was in luck. Karen, with Exaclair, was passing out some planners for reviews. I requested the Scholar and soon received one. From Equology PlannerThe… -
Lie De The
10 Nov 2009 | 12:39 pmLie De The is another great color from J. Herbin that Karen was gracious enough to send me. It is probably my second favorite color, that I have tried, after Eclat De Saphir. I first noticed it while visiting Wolf's blog and seeing this post. His Lie De The looks much lighter than mine but it is probably because he is using an EF nib. Unfortunately, I could never get a picture that captured this ink's color.From Lie De TheFrom Lie De TheIt is a brown ink. Out of my medium and fine nibs it is dark brown. To me, it is a great manuscript or a manifesto color. When I use it, I know I should be… -

A Lifetime Restored
25 Oct 2009 | 12:46 pmBefore you go any farther, read thisNow that you have a little background info to go by, let's make a comparison:From Lifetime RestoredAs you can tell from the pictures this poor Lifetime had succumb to the years. The clip and nib were tarnished and the barrel had lost some of its sheen. Also, the pen did not write because it needed a new sac. Well, I called on my fellow pen freak and friend Mr. Goodpens for help. He happily obliged because he is a good guy. Never met him. I don't even live in the same timezone as he does but I have a feeling that if I did we would be hanging out on weekends.

A little Show ’n’ Tell
18 Nov 2009 | 8:28 pmIt’s been a quiet few weeks here at the Nashua Pen Spa: no exciting restorations to describe. We’ve done some interesting celluloid repair, and I’m currently working out a repair for a vintage Montblanc piston, but nothing earthshaking. So, just to keep things stirring, here are a few interesting pens I’ve photographed recently.First we have a Parker “51” that I bought at the Ohio Pen Show. It’s pretty ordinary in appearance until you notice that it has no blind cap (not a Vac) and no hole in the end or side of the barrel (not Aero-metric, either). So what is it?As you can see,… -
Ya gotta love them black pens!
17 Oct 2009 | 12:48 pm(Revised October 21, 2009) This week, of which the primary feature was our successful return from the New York City Pen Show, also offered a remarkably interesting contrast in pens that needed to be worked on. Here I present for your consideration two objects. They are both fountain pens, and they’re both black. This they have in common. From the end of the section back, however, they are remarkably different. And they are both exciting.Of foremost cachet, but not the first to reach the bench — or the more interesting — was this gorgeous Parker Lucky Curve Nº 33 eyedropper filler:The… -
Back In the day, when Montblanc was a pen company...
30 Sep 2009 | 9:00 am…they made truly magnificent pens like this prewar coin-silver safety.When it arrived at the Nashua Pen Spa, its cork was shot. Getting it apart to repair was an interesting exercise because of the way Montblanc put the overlay on, but when it came apart, the more serious damage (a broken threaded barrel-end collar) came to light. It’s all back together now, and I think it should last fairly well. It sure is a gorgeous pen — it has me wondering who Albert Matz was, that he deserved such a fabulous pen.(Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.) -
Something new every day
22 Sep 2009 | 5:20 pmOne of the perennial joys of pen repair is the continual learning process. You think you’ve seen it all, and the next day there’s something new and different. That’s what happened earlier this week, when the pen shown here hit the bench.This is a Penol, made in Denmark by Christian Olsen (who also held the Danish Parker license). It’s an elegant pen, long and sleek and nice in the hand. The filling system wasn’t working. But unlike the Parkers that Olsen made, this is a piston filler with its knob located under a blind cap. Upon disassembling it, I had the following layout of… -
Stealing from the best (part deux), and size does matter
20 Sep 2009 | 3:25 pm“There’s something about designing a pen so that it will appeal to the buyer. Technology alone won’t do it; you can design a phenomenally good pen, but if it isn’t pretty it won’t sell. One way, proven by dozens of tributes and outright copies, is to copy the design of a pen that already does sell.”I wrote the above paragraph early last June. It was true then, and it’s still true now. This week, Jim and I had the pleasure of working on another clone, one that’s even more identifiable than the Punto Rosso I wrote about three months ago.Except for the slightly funky celluloid…
