A day with a Duofold

25th Sep 201825th Sep 2018 / Anthony / 10 Comments

I've wondered on and off for some time about getting a Duofold — ideally a Centennial (the larger size) in Big Red colour. Considering my first fountain pens were Parkers, my collection is alarmingly Parker-free. A few things have put me off from getting a Duofold, though. First is the price. These are flagship-priced pens, … Continue reading A day with a Duofold

The redesigned Galen Writing Box looks promising

24th Sep 201824th Sep 2018 / Anthony / 13 Comments

A quick post, all. Galen Leather came through on their promise to send me a third writing box. It arrived about a week ago. I had to pay about 45 quid for import charges, but that didn't bother me one bit. These guys have gone out of their way over a period of months to … Continue reading The redesigned Galen Writing Box looks promising

Looking ahead to the London Writing Equipment Show

12th Sep 2018 / Anthony / 7 Comments

I didn't make it to the Bristol Pen Show this year, or Newcastle. Due to an unexpected business trip I won't make the London Pelikan Hub next week, alas. So the LWES in October will be my only pen show of the year (gasp!) and there's a lot riding on it. To say I'm looking … Continue reading Looking ahead to the London Writing Equipment Show

Travels with pens: Austria

2nd Sep 2018 / Anthony / 6 Comments

I spent the past week in Austria, surrounded by mountains, forests and lakes. It was a proper family holiday, but that didn't mean I left my pens behind. As usual before a trip, I spent more time planning which pens to take than anything else. These five made the cut. Left to right: Pelikan M400 … Continue reading Travels with pens: Austria

INDEFINITE GOODBYE. Digital detoxing. If you don't have my email or phone, you can reach me through my site. It's been a pleasure.
What is this unholy sorcery... a rollerball tip that takes fountain pen cartridges?! Swipe to see a comparison of the faceted finish on the new aluminium pen versus my early prototype brass version.
New arrival to the @schon_dsgn #pocketsix crew — the faceted aluminium. Just hanging out on a (very dusty) crankshaft.
18 pens. Apparently this makes me unusual. Find out why in my latest blog, link in bio.
