Happened a couple of years ago with shaving brushes... the prices just kept dropping, I managed to snag a Plisson badger brush for £13 and a Simpsons CH2 for £63. The more people buy, the lower the price drops until stocks run low. Once the brushes were down to the last 10 the prices went back to RRP.the prices keep dropping (Ive added to my wishlist to keep check). I wonder how low it will go?
£14 a tube surely @Boycie83... still a bargain @ 50% off£28 now!
Time to get my batch on BST at £7 a tube
I’ve been doing this for years with my Lamy, Sheaffer, Cross, MontBlanc pens, (ps i can rarely read my own writing but if I’ve writen it with a fountain pen the odds are increased the I can) the important part i found was having a quality paper to jot down into, I actually find it very relaxing to watch the ink dry on the page as im writing, with the right angle this paper/pads allow this, and found the A4 pukka pads perfect, i have about 40 of these A4 pads that my family has never read or had access to, all filled, over the last 15 years, it keeps me sane, I will occasionally pick one up and open at a random page, read for a few pages, put down, and the brain seems to have a reset, all good.I was having a few problems at work which just seemed to be festering, even though the issues had been reported, i read about just writing down what they were to get them out, sort to speak. Anyway, Up Pops @BigBruce with his LAMY recommendation so i went for it, i mean if you are going to write about something crappy it may as well be done with something nice. I have to be honest, once these issues were written down, i was not carrying them around.
I then just started to practice to make my writing more legible, basically, anything that came into my head, day to day trivialities, cooking recipies i had done, little pen reviews for myself. It was all writing practice and maybe the start of a daily journal, even if it was a bit long winded.
This has started to morph into what i did today and what will i do tomorrow to, trying to plan the rubbish out.
Another forum member kindly offered to allow me an outlet for my practice letter writing so i have started correspondence using snail mail, its so different from just sending an email or PM, calming even.
I used to correspond when i was young, well before the text/email age, i think "Pen Pals" were encouraged then to help with creativity and writing practise. Its been a long long time since i have done anything like this, it is a really enjoyable experience, slowing the busy pace of life down, for me anyway.
