What’s new to you?

I caught the fever too. TWSBI Eco something or other, and a blue ink sampler because I only write in blue at work.

Looked up the pen, nice!

Got it filled with some Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo. It's a beautiful blue. Might be a full purchase in the future.

If I hadn’t of found this deal for 100% free, I’d probably have resisted as well.

Funny, I don't remember that posted in the "Shopping Deals" area

You’re right I don’t think I did...but I did post it in the pens thread!

So this may be pic heavy. I mailed these off Aug 27th and they arrived back in my mailbox refurbished today a mere 10 days later total time including shipping. The Red Tip obviously was done in 24 kt Gold and the Fatboy was done in Rhodium. They are a little squeaky/tin like sounding when opening but that may be the nature of the beast when re-plated. They open and close fine. VERY excited with how they look and Chris at Back Roads Gold was great to deal with.

They look great! Hope they perform well for you..... you'll have them for an eternity!

Looking great. I’m going to have to get some of my vintage stock done up nice like that.

How's the scent?

How's the scent?

I think I like the original or the other seasonal scents better. But I like this one just fine. It's kind of woody and herby at the same time. Nothing over powering. Like I said...I like it just fine. But I think I like the other scents better. But I REALLY like the other scents.

original is my jam, but I've been meaning to try their other stuff. Just a damn shame that they don't make more petroleum based stuff.

So after trying samples, I decided I liked the Blu. Today my ceramic tub of Pannacrema Nuavia Blu arrived.

You need to get that ink just for the bottle

Wait? You need more than one Suavecito Oil Based Pomade?

That Nuavia Blu is a seriously awesome scent! I prefer Rosa myself but would totally rock the Blu! The Nuvia Scents really make that soap!

Isn't that flammable?

Only if you are making napalm.

I couldn't find a sample of the Rosa to try, so I had to make due with the Blu & Green. The Blu is an incredible scent, I agree. And it's not overpowering, which I prefer staying away from.

Thanks guys, I highly recommend them based on my experience
