My Dr Grips are

Yes and the Lamy Safari you just posted is A1

>>10308963
Man when I was in Elementary school a Japanese friend had just moved to the states, and he had one of these Dr. Grips in pink that you'd shake to get the led out.

Hottest thing I'd ever seen., and after making my mother drive me to every store nearby, I knew this shit was fresh from the Japanese market, and it wouldnt hit the states anytime soon, I needed to have it.

Well I gathered up all my money and he sold me the pencil for $15. Now that I remember this shit, he was an asshole friend for taking advantage of me through his fancy Jap-tech.

Still worth tho, had the coolest pencil in class throughout the childhood. And I won his Japanese PSP in a bet some years later.

they sold shake dr. grips at staples when i was in elementary school.....

yes, got that lime green with hot pink Haptify.

I got a Lamy pen too in a very nice and unique looking metallic lavenderish color. looks dope as fuck but I don't even use it anymore.
still, I got a metallic blue Lamy Pico and use it regularly.

>>10309572
pic of Lamy Pico btw, so effay

>>10309576
this is ugly as fuck lmao

where's patrick bateman to talk shit about lamy as as babby's first pen, and then, in the same post, recommend muji pens?

quality shitposting that this thread needs.

>>10309621

or is it sieg who does that....

honestly who knows. it's one of them

>>10309335
Dr Grip 4+1s can be purchased on Amazon now
But the Japanese ones are way nicer
And they're actually pretty pricey
I bought a case and ended up paying 10 bucks a pen w/shipping

>>10309621
>>10309625
I know nothing about pens. Drafting pencils all day erry day.

>>10309621
copped two yesterday :^)

>>10309431
Probably because I'm in butt-fuck-no-where, they werent around.

>>10309632
I need to pick up a japanese one, just to relive them shakes.

Anyway for pens, go full Montblanc to be truly fashionable.

>tfw pen collection is worth more than entire wardrobe.

>>10309610
ur mom, mr. shit-taste.

>>10308961
it dePENds.

>>10309635
hmmm then what do you recommend for a babby's first drafting pencil?

>>10309900

Pentel q1005, Rotring 600.

Start with the best.

>>10309921
want a rotring 600 but i'm poor af and spending £20 on a pencil seems ridiculous.

u used a muji mechanical?

>>10309878
ha ha

>>10309940

Muji sucks for stationery, it's not bad but it's dollar store crap with a better visual design.

>>10309940
my rotring 600 was worth it. it writes like a champ and feels great in my hands. although you'll definitely want to be careful with the tip. don't get an 800 because the retractable tip is apparently prone to feeling like shit and failing mechanically. also make sure to get 0.5mm lead because its goat for versatility

depends on your job i'd say

i'm left handed so i have reason to be interested in pens, like i only use blue ink, and it has to dry quickly for obvious reasons

>>10308961

>>10309710
If you want a maroon one I'll sell it at cost
New in package, of course

pens r /fa/

>>10310190

when did IPAs become a fedora thing

nationally produced IPAs are a solid part of the range at pubs here and most of them taste pretty great

>>10310722
when there was elitists, just like anything else

LMAO are u drinking bud light dude? it's 80 degrees and you're at the beach why aren't u drinking this pumpkin flavour mead made with japanese hops? enjoy your pisswater dude

lets get an /fa/ stationery thread going

I don't have anything worth writing home about. (No pun intended)

I wish the Safari was a fountain and not a rollerball, I'll have to get one sooner or later.

The notebook means a lot to me, though. It's one that Porsche only gives to journalists, and I got it while working as press at a racing event.

bump, or is there too many NEETs here with no use for stationary?

Porsche Design pens are GOAT, just got one as a gift from my boss.

>>10311345
also really like the look of gloss over carbon fiber

Fancy pens are basically fedoras you write with
anyone have that picture of the high school kid writing with a pen that costs more than he's ever made? I think he's wearing a full suit, girls in the back are laughing at him

leuchtturm master race

>>10311356
Kind of, if you're not wearing a 3k suit for and you have a mont blanc you look like an idiot.

Certain minimalistic pens/drafting pencils are nice though

>>10311699
>Kind of, if you're not wearing a 3k suit for and you have a mont blanc you look like an idiot.
lol if you think that people who use Mont Blanc pens are like this.

Most of the ones I know are rich but weird high-end businessmen who throw money at Veblen goods they kinda-sorta recognize. Like Chinese bureaucrats.

W2C

>>10311041
>Moleskine
Pleb shit

Get a Rhodia notebook

>>10311356
that pic you speak about doesn't have an expensive pen in it. the fedorafag is writing with a fucking bird-feather

>>10311967
literally worse quality

>>10310722
no offense to those that like them but I can't fucking stand IPAs, makes me feel like the enamel is melting right off my teeth and tastes like over-powdered tang with 10 pounds of hops thrown in

much rather have a stout or something

>>10312063
not op, but there is literally nothing worse than a moleskine notebook
its fucking Chinese glue and paper

>>10308961
>are pens effay?
herp derp try hard cunt

>>10311904

MUJI

>>10312063
Moleskine notebooks have thin, awful paper. They get by entirely on rep.

I've got a Pilot Knight gathering dust in a drawer. I thought it was a really nice pen. I don't do much writing any more though so I can't be bothered with it when I do need to write something.

>>10311041
Best notebooks? No spiral or ringed notebooks, preferably ~100 sheets (200 pages) or more

>>10314253

Bindewerk

(Ivory pages, I can't into white balance)

>>10314292
Damn that's nice

>>10310391
PayPal and pic with timestamp and I'll buy you one

>>10308961
Question to everyone in this thread: what do you say when...
>Hey, anon... Can I borrow your pen for a moment?

>>10315971
>sure
>give them a spare basic bitch bic pen

>>10315971
They get the bic I use to pic dirt out of my shoes

I use this and put business cards in it and a field notes pad when out making sales. I write notes and have business cards handy.

>>10315980
This

Always carry 1 or 2 pens/pencils you
are willing to lose

>Implying Lamy 2000 isn't /fa/
>Implying Pilot Custom Heritage 92 isn't /fa/
>Implying Sheaffer Snorkel isn't /fa/
>Implying Omas Paragon isn't /fa/

It's like you guys want to have no taste.

>>10309431

weird

>>10314446
>>10315909
literally amazon, though it's the metal-reinforced version

>>10309940
>>10310163
2nding don't get the 800. My friend got it and the tip feels flimsy af.

Also, don't get the 600 because the sleeve will break if you don't baby your pencil.

Get a Rapid Pro - it has a retractable sleeve that's rock solid. It's priced between the 600 and 800 but the best of the lot IMO.

>>10316432
Not as nice tbh

>>10308961
Come in the mail on Monday

>>10310190
>pens are fedora
Better call MontBlanc and tell them to adjust their prices. 1500 bucks seems a bit much for someone who wears a trilby.
