^—I do not mean “best” as in winner of some kind of competition, but pens that are objectively of higher quality. As an example, suppose someone has a MB 146 and a Pilot Metropolitan. Both are good pens, but I think you can say that the 146 is objectively a better pen than the...
my writing pen, my thinking pen. I, like,lovepens. Everyone goes to Japan for fashion but I go for stationery. I have a Romeo pen case from Itoya that’s leather with suede inside. People are like, “What have you got in there, your wallet?” I’m like, “Nah, it’s my pens....
