Gourmet pens
Although mechanical pencils are really cool, I enjoy the smell, feedback, and entire experience of wood pencils. Sharpening, various leads, using different parts of the lead to achieve different lines, finding the lead you want - of course, you can do some of this with mechanical pencils as well, but for me, wood takes the cake. Fountain pens, primarily, although I use ballpoints and gel pens as well. I like fountain pens not just for the pretty factor, but more so because of the special nibs and the unique writing experience they offer.

In the relatively new world of stationery blogging, Azizah from Gourmet Pens is one of the stalwarts of the community. Her reviews are thorough, beautiful, and always entertaining. My thanks to Azizah for taking the time out to answer Three Questions. What role do analog tools such as pens, pencils, and paper play in your day to day life? Currently, my life revolves around analog tools and I'm really enjoying that.
I write three blogs, in addition to recording the "Serious Nibbage" series, and am building up a fourth scientific website. It takes a lot of coordinating, planning, and preparing. I have to log my time and make sure I'm posting in the right place, make sure I have drafts ready to go, and there is a lot of research and editing involved.
If I don't write it all down, I'll forget something important, and I hate making lists on my phone. I carry four notebooks with me at all times and a case full of pens and other tidbits I might need. I write everything down, so I have to use analog tools or I wouldn't be able to stay organized!
My current favorites are a strange variety of things. Since I use ballpoints with them, they all work for me, and I like changing it up because I get bored of the same thing after some time. Last but not least, there are fountain pens. I love my Waterman 94 with a 5 Waterman wet noodle music nib that is always inked, my Waterman 12 with an extra fine to double broad wet noodle , and my Waterman 52V with a fine to triple broad wet noodle. Herbin Stormy Grey.
I carry everything in my Kivu, a wonderful leather bag made by Love41, the sister company of Saddleback Leather.
A few months ago, I would have had no idea how to answer this. I spent hours and hours putting it together, doing research, taking pictures, preparing everything — namely by posting reviews of each individual pen prior to putting together the final post, and finally, I published it nervously, to be honest. I'm actually really excited this was a question. As soon as I saw it, I knew right away this would be my answer. I worked very hard on it and I hope it helps people who read it.

Skip navigation. I started Gourmet Pens to share my passion and interest in stationery. I reviewed almost everything I owned, but several years later, as my blog has grown, requests keep pouring in! There's a lot of stationery out there.
I always enjoy writing with Pelikan nibs.
