[stationery] so much for restraint

[kaberett]

So that notebook? That was Very Nearly Perfect? But that I was planning to wait until the end of January to buy any more of, even though I could only find another 3 currently for sale in the UK?

... I had entirely forgotten that the paper used to make it is no longer in production. So, er, I kind of. bought. the remaining stock. last night.

On a different but related topic, I am pleasantly surprised by just how well I am getting on with the Vanishing Point in this context! Some of it is apparently stabbing myself with the knock is acceptable where using my thumbs is not; there is a whole bunch more field-test to go but I might not actually be selling this on as rapidly as I'd assumed I would...

Oh nooooo ;_; I hope they find a decent replacement paper to work with, and I’m glad you were able to acquire some spares in the meantime!

ahaha that is how I ended up with enough Duo bookcloth to probably last me the rest of my life.

My franken-VP remains my go-to daily pen and I am still kind of mad about it :P

Woops! Glad you've got a stock for yourself now!

I've always wondered if I would like the Vanishing Point or not, but you can't test before buying without going to a pen show or knowing someone who has one, so it will likely remain a mystery.

I was dubious about the vanishing point, particularly the clip, so I bought a Majohn A2 as a way to test it out (plus, it came in purple!). So far I like it a lot. Enough that I'll probably either buy an actual VP at some point, or just a Pilot nib unit to swap in to the A2 body.

What an excellent idea! Thank you for the tip! Also, purple is my favorite color. :)
