I haven’t dabbled in the FP world. My hand writing as pretty bad and I’d most likely lose the pen in a matter of minutes.
I got her this one:
If she like it, I plan on getting her something somewhat high end.
There are some good looking writing utensils in that thread!

Oh geez, you're going down the fountain pen rabbit hole too. Be very careful.

Yea my writing is atrocious too. I do enjoy using my FP though when the opportunity allows. At least I feel fancy when I do write...placebo effect, I know...
Nice Brush and the FP Rabbit Hole is Deep! Luckily I crawled out with just one Lamy

The last 2 shaves have felt a little rough, nothing too bad, just not as smooth as it has been. The Proraso splash only has a couple uses left, I’ll be sad it see it go but I’m trying to make some room for some Fresh Lime. I doubt I’ll ever finish the Limes and Bergamot soap. It’s a good soap but there are others I’d like to replace it with.

Lucky my wife had FAR more self control than I do. I’ll probably be the one getting her multiple pens in hopes she won’t mind a few more soaps, a Paladin and a Vector showing up at some point in the future.
It’s some good juice! Not too strong of a scent and just the right amount of menthol for me. If I find some more at Marshall’s for $2 again I’ll probably buy them out of it.

Some pretty good shaves the past few days. The Dixie is giving really good results. The little Omega 599 has a great knot in it, I just with the handle was bigger. The Proraso Green gave up its last use tonight. I’ll eventually replace it but first I need to get some GTB.

My only complaint with GTB is the scent doesn't last. It's a great scent, but I prefer splashes with staying power, as I rarely use frags.

Nice run of shaves John and GTB has good staying power for me even if I don't use the EdT so it will differ with different body chemistry's. Might I recommend saving the bottle as I just buy the big boy and fill the little when it gets low.
No! No, you really don't need any GTB.
That's definitely not my only complaint with the stuff.

It seemed to go quickly. My wife likes the scent of it and I tend to pour heavy. It will be missed!
