The Aurora 88 Minerali Azurite is a new limited edition demonstrator faountain pen from Aurora that our friends (and sponsor for full disclosure) at Goldspot let us borrow and test out for this review. Besides being one gorgeous looking pen, it also comes in a pretty amazing and substantial wood box with grey/silver finish and leather-like lining. As I said this is a loaner from our friends at Goldspot and you can find it right here on their website, but … [Read more...]
MyLifeUNIT Fineliner .40mm Review
Anytime I see an item on Amazon with a ton of reviews and promoted as a "Amazon's top Choice" with their little branded logo, I get a little skeptical. With that said I thought I'd grab a set of these MyLifeUNIT Fineliner Color Pens in .4mm (via Amazon, obviously) to see what I thought of them. The first thing I noticed about these MyLifeUNIT Fineliner pens (besides the really odd name) was the fact that on the package they are described as being … [Read more...]
Fisher Space Pen Backpacker vs Fisher Space Pen Trekker
My Fisher Trekker Space Pen has been a permanent fixture on my key chain for years now and I love it, but when I saw the new Fisher Space Pen Backpacker (via JetPens) I thought that maybe it might be time for an upgrade. If nothing else I just liked the visual of the blue with black accents, so into my cart it went, without much worry knowing how much I loved my other one. … [Read more...]
Baron Fig Prismatic Archer Review
The newest member of the Baron Fig Archer Pencil Family is the Prismatic (via the Baron Fig website). They are the first new Archer offering since the Snakes and Ladders edition that had some issues with the cores being off center causing lots of breakage issues. Knowing how Baron Fig established themselves with a mind of continually improving their products and reacting to customer feedback, I was naturally very curious to see how these new Prismatic … [Read more...]
Pilot Precise V5 Pink Purple and Turquoise
I've always been a big fan of the Pilot Precise line of pens going back to grade school, however I kept forgetting to grab a pack with some of the additional colors you see above. Its easy to be happy about the great writing performance of the black, blue, red, and green versions of these pens that are readily available everywhere. Whats not so common though are the Pilot Precise V5 pens in pink, purple, and turquoise (via Amazon). … [Read more...]
MUJI Aluminum Fountain Pen Review
I came across the MUJI Aluminum Fountain Pen on Amazon recently and was surprised because I know of MUJI because of their awesome store, but I've never seen their fountain pen before. Its a pretty simple and well done pen that feels great and seems to be constructed in a very solid fashion. Lets take a closer look, but as I said, I grabbed mine on Amazon right here. … [Read more...]
Baron Fig Squire Experiment Limited Edition
The very generous folks at Baron Fig put their newest subscription/limited edition Squire in my hands a few days ago so I could do a review, and a funny thing happened. It sold out before I could even get all the pictures taken and write about it to share here. I still wanted to share the pictures and give my thoughts on the Baron Fig Squire Experiment limited edition though because quite frankly, the pen is gorgeous and if its an indication of things to … [Read more...]
Lamy Safari Petrol Special Edition Fountain Pen and Ink
The Lamy Safari Petrol is the newest special edition of the classic Lamy Safari pen. Its a really great looking color that is kind a dark turquoise. As with the standard Lamy Safari, the Petrol is a plastic body and has a flat finish with a glossy metal clip that looks like a twisted up portion of a large paper clip. I picked up this pen at Hinkson's Office Store in Princeton, NJ which I stumbled across by accident while strolling through the streets of … [Read more...]
Uni NanoDia Green Lead 0.5 mm Review
I've always found colored mechanical pencil lead refills to be hit or miss, but mostly miss. I figured I'd take my chances with these Uni NanoDia Green Lead 0.5 mm leads that I saw on JetPens (right here if you are in a shopping mood) recently. The package that they come in is a hard plastic container with a sliding top, which contains 20 individual refills that measure 60mm. Quick reminder too that these refills were free of charge for this review as … [Read more...]

Sailor Lecoule Power Stone Color Fountain Pen – Morion
As part of our sponsorship with JetPens, I get to try out some pretty awesome pens and office supplies free of cost, and this Sailor Lecoule (buy via JetPens) is one of them. Mostly known for their mid to high end fountain pens, Sailor has this very nice offering that fits more into the beginner or maybe higher end beginner arena.
