  • Overview week 32

    I planned to publish this overview of last week earlier, but due to changing plans, I finished the overview just today. With changing plans I refer to moving my house as from 1 November 2020. So a lot of things need to be considered and prepared. I started this week with reflecting on some things.…

  • Overview week 31

    Started the week with cleaning the Sheaffer Pop Star wars and put it aside. I like this pen and I’m sure I’ll use it later again. Time for inking 2 new fountain pens: the Pilot Metropolitan and the Monteverde Monza. For the Pilot I used a Pilot blue ink cartridge and from the first seconds…

  • Overview week 30

    It’s rather a strange week. We had a bank holiday on tuesday, so on monday and tuesday I was very chill. The only irritating thing that is not chilling is the Corona virus. It keeps upsetting our daily life, and for some it seems the virus is on holiday…but it isn’t. Lockdown 2.0 is in…

  • Review of the Platinum Preppy

    Reading blogs and watching Youtube about fountain pens, I noticed many fountain pen users like the Platinum Preppy.

  • Review of the Sheaffer Pop Star Wars Darth Vader fountain pen

    I don’t know the reason but somehow, in my early stage of collecting fountain pens, I got a connection with the Sheaffer brand. In January 2020, I already did a review on their calligraphy pen (check review). Now, to continue with Sheaffer, I got interested in the Sheaffer Pop collection, a collection well suited for…

  • Review Cross Bailey Light

    Since the start of my fountain pen hobby, initially I reduced my budget to beginner fountain pens (budget of max. € 20). And then after each buy, I gradually raised my budget. Now, at this point my budget gives me the opportunity to buy pens from the – what I call – next-level fountain pen…

  • Review of the Parker Vector

    I am sure I don’t have to introduce you to the Parker Vecor fountain pen. As far as I remember from time I went to school (and that’s long ago), many of my fellow school friends used this pen. So, today, what are my thoughts about this pen? Continue reading…

  • Visit Triado

    Yesterday, May31, for the first time during covid19 pandemic, I went out to Ghent for a short visit. So, the first thing I had in mind was to visit a local penshop, Triado. I think in general it is important to support local economy, and that’s what I did. For sure they all suffer from…
