    Not to be an enabler or anything, but I have a Shoji, and it's lovely. It's a wonderful icy blue--perfect for winter. I think you need one for your 3776 collection…

    What does the "sbrebrown" code do?

    Takes 10% off the bill until the end of the year. Code gourmetpens does the same thing.

    But if you have something in your cart the price remains good.... Using the GourmetPens code it came to $145.. So I bought it. It is all your fault you enablers! I sure hope she's pretty and arrives soon but now I'm really going to have to buy NO PENS for a while.

    Congratulations on finding such a great deal on a pen that fits your collection so well!

    I'll second what you said about the 3776 nib. I have the Chartres Blue in a medium, and it's extraordinarily smooth and steady. Very stiff, but a pleasure to write with.

    I was going to order the Sai from Pen Chalet, but I couldn't figure out how to get the sale price. Looks like I missed it. That's probably for the best… I'm already waiting on the Bourgogne from Japan (oops).

    Congrats! I hope you'll post photos of your 3776 collection after the Shoji arrives.

    Yes, I actually plan to do a report on my very sudden collection (seriously, bought the Chartres and they just sort of exploded. Especially as compared to the Montblanc 146 (that to me is their direct competition.) But I've got a Bourgogne that's going in my stocking (from Santa) so it'll have to wait until after Christmas. I'm *making* myself wait on *one* of these pens. The 3776 are like rabbits, they multiply, you have been warned.

    I've learned with Pen Chalet, check their sale area often and if you hit on something that looks really good put it in your cart! The cart stays active for a couple days and deals remain good so long as the pen is in the cart (from what I've seen.) I finally pressed "order" this morning on this most recent one, the deal was long gone, but they honored the one that was in my cart with the sale price.

    What a great pen for a great deal! Super jealous of your koi 3776, also. I may have to pick up one of those for myself at some point. My 3776 Nice needs some friends.

    So at what point did you switch from your broad, wet, German pens to the medium pens?

    Hah, haven't really. My first Platinum has a broad nib made into a cursive italic. But the deals I've snagged have all been for M nibs. And I've got an EF that I use in my Hobonichi, really makes journaling work better in that tiny little book. The Ms will probably all eventually get turned into Italics the next time I see PB! (Got a soft fine I'm waiting until Christmas to open, that'll be interesting.)

    Today the Pen Chalet Sale is back on for Platinum 3776. With the 40% discount for today and the "sbrebrown" 10%, I got a Sai w/ Med 14KT gold nib for $145.80. Free shipping. Done deal!

    OK, now who's got Atomic Washi Tape for the convertor !?
