Gimme a Hero

Would you believe it if I told you that it is still possible to buy this pen which we used to write with in school , for between 1 to 1.20 SGD ? 

Like today ? Like right this moment ? Now . And from a retail outlet in Singapore ? 

The elusive , world famous Riviere Fountain Pen by Daiso

Finding this elusive Riviere fountain pen , a dollar store product made famous by Daiso addicts, is like looking for your spectacle screw which just popped out onto the tarred road.  

Daiso Fountain Pen

These are Daiso's in house brand of fountain pens .

Available in 2 colours.....I did not hesitate in grabbing 2 for myself .

Franklin Covey - Lexington and Freemont

Seeing how the prices were just so amazing , I snapped up the Lexington as well as the Freemont , just now.

Tested them both out and man , this should be remarketed as a left handers pen .

Here is the Lexington in chrome and gold , with stainless steel nib. 

Pink Lamy Safari - plus some unpink freebies thrown in

Getting hooked onto fountain pens can signal your entry into the abyss of no return . With that Cross Sauvage Smoke Stingray performing so incredibly , the kiamsap side of me felt I needed 

to go opt for a cheaper , what they call , the current workhorse fountain pen  .....but what I call , something I can abuse on a regular basis.

Cross Sauvage - Smoke Stingray fountain pen

Sauvage is a line of ball , roller and fountain pens by Cross that women find most visually appealing. 

The nib is made from 18k solid white gold with rhodium plating . Gold , not stainless steel ....definitely makes for a better writing experience.
