Y&C Permawriter II

I have always been a fan of the Y&C pens, What? You have not heard of them? If you haven't... then you are in for a surprise. Surprisingly smooth and sturdy, these pens have been a constant in my rotation for a long time. I buy these by the dozen without any hesitation and I never have had a bad batch.

For some reason, I have attached (not literally) these pens with my Moleskins. They seem to go together and I get a consistent very fine line that I need with this 00 tip. I do not get any bleeding and it's kinda like they were meant for each other.

Upper right hand corner of this photograph shows where one of these consistently lives. It's handy, easy to grab and I know its there. Most of the online Hobby stores carry these. You can get them here if you like.

I am tracking a very special FedEx package that I hope to share with you for my Monday post. -Let's just say it feels a little like Christmas eve to me....Have a great weekend everyone and remember to be nice to your pens!

The Classics

As always, click for better views.

I am postponing the "What did she Bring me Segment" till she actually brings me something. Yesterdays texts messages went a little like this:

Her "what kind of pen do you want"
Me "just buy a pen, it's for the blog"
Her " but, what kind should I get you?"


Instead I bring you two classics. One modern and one, not so much. Some days I feel like I could do anything with a loaded Parker 51 and a Moleskin. I know you purists will run about and scream about bleeding and feathering and all that, but I deal with it. They just go so well together. When I have these at a meeting, I immediately am the cool guy, no questions asked. Instant Penvy. (Pens + Envy... get it?) In some fountain pen users eyes, the Parker 51 (any 51) is still the perfect everyday pen. I usually have 4-5 inked at any time and they are in heavy rotation.

Good pens.
