“To hold a pen is to be at war…”
Voltaire
If you read this blog regularly, surely there must be at least some inclination to try a fountain pen. That is if you haven’t already fallen headfirst into the rabbit hole. This pen might be just the one to tempt the fountain pen curious. Pilot is arguably the flagship of Japanese fountain pens. At the top end of the brand the options, styles, materials and price are virtually without limit. This pen however, is a new offering at the other end of the scale, an entry drug. The Pilot Explorer is stylish, reliable and simple to use. It will write straight out of the box, and it will write beautifully. It can be used with a cartridge by the novice, a converter by the more confident and it can be eyedroppered by the insane. It is ready available at Officeworks stores and a steal at $30. Realistically, it could be a first in a lifelong obsession. #hooklineandsinker #letsmakelemonade
