The PenBBS 500 makes a strong first impression. It feels substantial with solid size, girth and weight. Unfortunately, spring-loaded piston filling system is likely to be tricky for new fountain pen users.
When it comes to the inside of one's car, the carpeting is an important but often overlooked element. Choosing the right colour and elegance will transform the automobile; ultimately, it'll determine the feel and fashionability from the within the...
If you'd asked me a year or two ago to have a look at a wood-bodied fountain pen, you'd not have gotten much more than polite interest. I mean, where do you find wood in vintage pens or among modern makers? Wood, I figured, was for home hobbyis...
It's no secret I like the PenBBS 350 aluminum pen, especially since I swapped a #6 M nib for the standard PenBBS one. It's a great writer and very comfortable in the hand.
I can safely say, however, I like the PenBBS 380 even more. And it com...
A vintage Aurora 88 has been on my grail list ever since I first encountered pelahale’s landmark video paean to this pen, HeartBreaking Pens of Staggering Genius. Naturally, I set my sights on an original 88 in Nikargenta. The Aurora 88 is intr...
Imagine yourself in a peaceful setting under the stars, submerged in water that is warm and bubbling, and able to feel the strain of the day melting away. The addition of a hot tub to your property has the potential to turn it into a private retre...
Meal preparation is an art that necessitates not only expertise but also a clean and well-organized kitchen. A new trend has evolved in the exciting hunt for efficient cooking: noodle boards. These adaptable kitchen equipment have grown in popular...
Part of the pleasure of vintage pens is thinking about what it was like to experience the the golden age of fountain pens. The drawback is it’s an impossible task.
NOS (new old stock) and vintage pens in near-unused condition is a game for f...
The PenBBS 491 may be at the low end of the PenBBS price range but it still features outstanding design, top-drawer materials, excellent fit and finish and PenBBS's best nib.
Chinese pens continue to impress. It’s clear manufacturers are investing in improving their products to grab market share. The Wing Sung 618 is an excellent case in point. Bottom line: this is a terrific pen and, at under $8 on Taobao, a great ...
First things first. This pen works really well. It's an achievement in terms of design and functionality. The more I use and understand it, the more I appreciate what the Parker 45 accomplished. What? Parker? But this is a Moonman... More on t...
The PenBBS 456 is what the TWSBI Vac 700 could have been. Great size. Great weight. Great balance. This has got to be the best pen PenBBS makes right now.
The PenBBS 471 is like a little jewel - a bauble of sorts - at least when closed. Assembled for writing, it's as big as a PenBBS 355 and less than two grams lighter.
Whether they come from yourself or others, expectations can be oppressive. The chance to escape from existing patterns is the perfect way to inject new energy into your writing. That's what pen names offer. A change in perspective lets you exe...
The 323 was an early PenBBS model, coming to market in late 2017 - a bit before PenBBS came on my radar.
Was the 323, after the 266, the second pen PenBBS released? Drop some knowledge in the comments. It's hard to find background info on Pe...
To my mind, the Moonman M100 pen was a watershed. It put Chinese pens in a new league. Where PenBBS pens are clearly the product of people who know and love fountain pens, their strength is in the engineering, manufacture and huge range of materia...
This is a fun, diminutive-sized writing instrument, with a twist. The nib retracts! It's proving to be a pleasant alternative to the larger pens I've been enjoying lately. I can see it as a take-along pen for notes or general writing duties any ...
The T1 is Moonman's first piston filler fountain pen. It's also their first pen made from aluminum. Turns out the T1 is a very nice pen!

The PenBBS 309 could be the only pen you need. Near ideal in size and weight, the 309 posts perfectly and holds a lot of ink. And it was one of the first pens PenBBS made!
Come for the cap, stay for the nib and the balance in your hand. Taiwanese pen maker Fine Writing International's 6th generation brass pen Golden Armour is a unique pen you'll want to check out.

Think PenBBS, think great pens and quality nibs. Even if the nibs only come in one size. 😄
Think ink too! I just got my hands on a bottle of no. 232, Ugly 丑. What a name! What a color!
More and more, think crazy-cool materials. Stunning eye-...
Wing Sung have released a lot of pens recently. But, then again, so have Moonman and Delike. It’s easy to lose track, especially when new pens don’t jump out and generate a bunch of buzz in the pen community. The Wing Sung 627 is a release that...
The pen business must be OK in Taiwan. The Lee brothers have moved their store 小品雅集 to new digs around the corner.
The new place is impressive.
More than enough pens to keep you busy for a while. The Lee brothers have their own pen models...
