3rd Jetpens haul

For my 3rd Jetpens order I limited myself to the bare minimum in order to qualify for free shipping. What you see pictured here is not the full order because I also bought a couple of liquid ink pens for my wife but those are not the subject of this blog so I left them out from the photo.

3rd Jetpens haul

The two main items that I'm rather excited about are: a bottle of Waterman Havana Brown ink and a Kaweco Sport Classic clear demonstrator fountain pen with B (bold) nib.

I had heard good things about this particular ink and I wanted to get a whole bottle for myself. As for the Kaweco pen, the bold nibs had been out of stock for some time and I kept looking out for them and when they became available I placed my order.

I can already say that I'm impressed with this inexpensive fountain pen but an in-depth review is forthcoming so stay tuned for that.

One final word: I think that Jetpens' minimum $25 per order for free shipping is kick ass!

    Thanks Ali. I'm already using my TWSBI + Noodler's Polar Black for my journal but I'm tempted to use the Kaweco because it is so smooth.

     I can't wait to read your review of both of these products (and I hope you don't beat me to the Kaweco review). I picked up the Kaweco Sport Classic (black), fine nib, and I love it. Right now I am on the hunt for a converter for the tiny bugger. The performance is stellar, but do not carry it in a pocket with car keys; you will scratch up the barrel much faster than you would with the ABS plastic in a Lamy. 

    Of the Waterman inks, I have the South Sea Blue, which is gorgeous, but the color turns much darker when the ink is left in the barrel (turquoise -> navy or blue-black). The ink behaves very well. 

    I am pretty sure you will love both of these products. I just picked up the Noodler's #41 Eternal Brown, and I would be happy to send you a sample. Let me know!

    I'm already using the Kaweco with the blue cartridge it came with. I really like it. I think it's the best $15 fountain pen I have.

    I'm not going to buy a converter. I have 2 options: re-use the cartridge or convert it to an eyedropper. I think I'll just re-use the cartridge because it's less messy and I can change inks more often.
