Pen Review
Shane of The MIG Shed has been on Fountain Pens Australia for several years ago. At some point the topic of me reviewing one of their pens came up and today before what became a successful Kickstarter campaign I was send this pen for review.

Around August 2022 Esterbrook released three premium versions of their Camden fountain pen. I’ve reviewed Esterbrook’s Estie three times with different nibs and pens sizes. In between I also reviewed the JR Pocket Pen. The only pen model left for me to review now is the Phaeton 300! The Camden sits somewhat in between the JR Pocket Pen and the Estie.
A big thank you to Esterbrook for sending this in for review!

Today is a review of a set of items from Midori that work quite nicely together. These aren’t an official set but I think they could easily be and would be great to buy together. They are the Midori MD Fountain Pen, the Midori MD Lined A5 Notebook with the Paper Notebook Cover. These are affordable products from an established Japanese brand that have a certain minimalist-like aesthetic about them.
A big thanks to Ink’d Pens for sending these in for review!

The Brush Fountain Pen, a pen I have been interested in for a while, was Canadian company Ferris Wheel Press’s first product release way back in late 2017 and since then the company has become a very well known brand with dozens of unique inks and, recently, an expansion of the fountain pen line up with the very affordable Carousel Fountain Pen. The Brush Fountain Pen Comes, firstly, with a silver trim nib or a gold plated nib, and then each of those of their own colours to choose. The design of the pen, clear from the name, is loosely based on a paint brush.
Thanks to Ferris Wheel Pens and Ink’d Pens for sending this ink in for review.

The Esterbrook JR Pocket Pen is part of the modern Esterbrook’s revival of the brand with the pen being a call back to one of vintage Esterbrook’s most popular pens, the Esterbrook J. The modern Esterbrook JR has come in a few colours, Red (‘Carmine’), Black, (‘Tuxedo’), and Blue (‘Capri’) but Esterbrook recently released the Paradise Set of three brightly coloured pens. These new colours have some slight design changes and come in Yellow (‘Lemon Twist’), Blue (‘Blue Breeze’) and Orange (‘Orange Sunset’). This review features the full Paradise Set, and the standard Tuxedo wit comparisons with two vintage Esterbrook J pens.
Thanks to Esterbrook for sending in the Paradise Set and to Desk Bandit for sending in the Tuxedo for review!
