I am debating between this one and the Collier. I will probably end up with both eventually but I can't decide which one I want to have first because the next one will be a while before I can get it.

I really like what the Brians came up with this go around! I the more I see the cap the more I want one. I may end up having to go the custom route though, I really love the way the section is shapped on the Pearl and Edison Nouveau Premire and don't know if I could get used the shape of the section on the Encore. The Twsbi 540 has a similer shaped section and it is the one thing I wish I could change on that pen.
That being said I am really having to fight the urge to order one of the Amethyst Ice pens, that is my favorite color combo of the offerings. I can just see using Purple Heart in that one!
I know what you mean about fighting the urge. I am still weighing my options. I have to clear some of my watched items in my eBay queue.Originally Posted by inky

I can't make up my mind. I am torn between A) being responsible, B) getting the blue agate encore, and C) getting the B&B Huron Grande.
Hmmm... Brian (assuming you are still watching this thread), do you take PayPal when you are at pen shows?
We have no problem with Paypal at shows....but you if you can, bring your own laptop, or method to use it. I'm not a fan of people using my computer at shows for secure payments. This can be risky. If someone has a security issues months after their transaction on my computer, I don't want there to be any doubt, so I avoid it. It's easier to use credit cards at shows, unless you bring your own method for using Paypal.
The Blue Agate and other Encores will be at the show, but remember that I don't distribute them, so I'm not sure if they will be for sale at the show....don't know yet. You can always see the pen live, and then place your order later through the Goulet website if I'm not selling them at the show.
The B+B Herald will probably not be there, but I'll have other Herald Grandes to look at.
Thanks for the info. I have a PayPal app on my phone. The B&B LE HG sale will end before the Chicago show, so I wouldn't be worried about seeing that exact pen. I understand what you are saying about the Encore though and purchasing it there at the show. I still look forward to seeing what it looks and feels like first hand so that I can make that decision.
Sounds good! We'll see you there!
Ummm, I just figured out what the B&B LE pen is and this is horrible......
For. My. Wallet.
Okay, I missed out on the Goulet's LE pen that was made out of this same ebonite. I need to get this pen. Separate thread on the way.

No kidding! At least the Encore isn't a limited release (it will be available for a while... right?), so I can wait for the defibrillators to bring my wallet back to life before I take that second hit.
Yeah, the Encore is a production pen exclusive to the Goulet's so it should be available for a while. As it looks right now, my pen fund is zero for the next 3.5 months. Then save up for the Encore, another 3.5 months, so, seven months before I can get an Encore. There better not be any more LE pens from Edison in the next 7 months.

As my first post to this Forum, I'm very happy to say that I received my Blue Agate Edison Nouveau Encore pen in the mail yeaterday! I saw the official photos on Wednesday evening during the broadcast, but I waited until Thurday morning to place the order. I wanted my pen frenzy to take a pause before I ordered.
To my complete surprise, I promptly receive three emails in quick succession: an order confirmation from the Goulets, a shipping confirmation from Brian Gray, and a follow-up email from Goulets with the tracking numbers! FAST!!!
The pen arrived yesterday, and it is a very attractive pen. I find the size to be very comfortable to use, and I have fairly large hands. The nib is very smooth, and chose a Fine nib. I'd certainly recommend the Encore to anyone considering it. This is my second Edison pen this week since I just received an Edison Nouveau Premire LE Cherry Cordial pen on Wednesday. That's why I waited until Thursday to order! Now I have to behave and enjoy my excellent new pens.
I also received my Edison Nouveau Encore, Turquoise. Lovely looking pen. Writes very smoothly. I usually do not post, but find that this pen feels a bit too light in my hand unless I do. Not a complaint, just different. Great service, great looking pen, great writer
