I was writing with my Edison today just for fun (as you can see in the PR thread).
Thanks to this new forum, i'm making a short list of pens to look for.
SWMBO is on to me. I must tread carefully.

Geez, B, I wonder who we should blame for the forum that has infected many of us with a first time or a flare up of fp AD? <g>

Were you bidding on Sailor's and that's what you got sniped on?

I have been eyeing Edison bulb fillers for a while so I completely understand.

I don't know Brian. I need to figure out if I can put a bigger cartridge in it. Or at least use it a couple of times and see if the nib will overcome my aversion to the small cart.

ROFL....

Welcome back to the fold Brian.

I myself am not really going to be buying anymore pens, UNLESS.

I am looking for a really nice white dot Schaeffer pen, with the two tone nib. Perhaps a B of F 146, and a B /M 149. I may pick up this years writers edition from MB, once clearer pictures come out. I would still LOVE to pick up the Jules Verne Writers edition MB.

Wonderful pen! Sailors are real writers' pens, hands down better than any modern Montblanc, Stipula or Visconti! I've written with them but unfortunately don't own one.... yet. :drool:

That nib is so sharp, what is that, a needlepoint? Probably won't be boarding a plane with that in your pocket. That's a weapon . . . the pen may be mightier than the sword!

Sweet 1911 for sure.

Me to SWMBO: Yeah, some guys are really into pens and inks. I only have three pens and two inks because I have self control. Some guys have something called Mont Blanc pens. *snort* I can't imaging paying hundreds for a pen. That's something I'd only have if it was a gift.

Felt like the kid in Christmas Story.

That sucks! I don't even know how many pens I bid on and lost before I finally got my Sailor.

It's actually a fine. Most of the writing I do is math related and I prefer a fine nib for that.

Although I just watched a video from Nibs.com on an M800 with a broad nib and now I'm thinking I may need to try one of those too!
