How Much Do Orthopedic Surgeons Get Paid

Is Inoxcrom dying?





Looking for other things by the Red I have stumbled upon the news that the last English manufacturer of pens began last May, a force adjustment employment with the intention of reducing staff by 28%. Mala thing for employees first, of course, but also for those who love writing, because bad news always issues a manufacturer of pens. The issue seems to have been further complicated because in other news I read on the suspicion that the company put on sale land its factory in Barcelona. In addition, the group's Web not seem to be accessible beyond the home page.



is possible that many of those who pass by here do not be a special appreciation for the English brand, but I must admit that I feel I have an affinity for it. Also, I think his pieces remain an excellent value for money and write daily if left untreated, stainless steel nib is smooth Inoxcrom comparison, with a stroke weight perfect for me in size M and a ink flow that makes you remember any case of the manufacturer and his family. Feathers are humble, strong and thoughtful design. May be made in the catalog under the brand some models in the middle-high and high, since in that range can only be found or the Sirocco series dedicated to Audrey Hepburn.



Anyway, Inoxcrom goes through some problems and I, I get selfish, I have not found the opportunity me with the Wall Street Titanium and Sirocco.

The thickness of the nib





There are many issues that make me frantic scene inside the pen, but if I had to mention one that lately is making me more nervous would no doubt the lack of agreement on the thickness of the nib. If you have pens of different brands you will find that each manufacturer uses stroke weights that has little to do with those of others. Moreover, the same brand, depending on the model or the date of manufacture of the part mounted jibs with different thicknesses. I put examples I am using pen stroke order now finer coarser

    Popular
  • jib Lamy F (years 60).
  • Nib Visconti F. Gulliver

  • Pelikan 215 with nib F.
  • jib F. Lamy Studio Saga Inoxcrom
  • jib M.
  • jib F. Waterman Charleston Pelikan Piccadilly Circus
  • jib M. Faber-Castell
  • eMotion jib F.
Not one of these eight pens have the same stroke weight, although most claim to be F. How hard would be for manufacturers to reach an agreement in thickness to provide us a little life to the users? The fact of the diversity of sizes, it is still a little discomfort in the event that we acquire our pens in stores that allow us to test the script before you buy, but if you wish to buy a piece at auction or in one of the very good shops that sell over the Internet we will be forced to take risks and hope that our expectations are met.

What Does Octinoxate Do



Last night I had a dream

(Martin Luther King)



Yes, last night while he slept, I dreamed for the first time with a pen. Do not think that was a model of these impressive, expensive and very luxurious, this is a humble piece, but the leaking of humility at the top. Last night I dreamed the Tombow Lucca.





this dream Does it mean that I approach my usual camel to acquire the piece in question? This is a pen that I have not had the pleasure of meeting "natural." I have seen only briefly in the Yearbook Pens this year and the role does not seem the type of pen lifts my passions. No But lately I think it changes the taste, so that contemporary design is slowly gaining a place in my little heart, if not avant-garde excesses reach high levels of exaggeration.



Anyway, as I know almost nothing of the outside Lucca Tombow material that is built (aluminum) and that its nib is stainless steel, does anyone know enlighten me? Understand that I need information about this pen, independently, decided to sneak into my bed in my dreams in my life. Why? Is there an esoteric reason can not understand?

dream of a pen Waterman brand Is feminist? Wishlist

virtual collection of pens ad I realize that advertising Waterman has always used a lot more to advertising as an independent woman. I leave a few ads as evidence.







Other brands, such as Parker, for example, men prefer to include or male hands in their ads, and when have women do, in some way subordinate to men which is the true repository of the pen and final recipient of the piece. I leave also some ads that I can confirm this idea.







Do we lead these ads to ensure that Waterman is a trademark feminist? It would be very risky for me to release this statement, especially if we consider that an icon of feminism as Colette was decanted in its day for a Parker, Mandarin Yellow. Although you might think - why not - it was yours a vindictive act: instead of doing what you would expect from a woman, that is, using a model of Waterman, wanted to bring into the world of masculinity.



Of course, these ideas should not make us think that Parker has ignored the female market, but on the contrary, the American brand has been launched throughout its history many models aimed at women: Lady Duofold or Slimfold UK, for example. But in the advertising of the company it strikes me that the female has less weight compared to the images of women independent and autonomous from Waterman, flying their shameless pens to record their majority







Continuing the comparison between Parker and Waterman, if you look at the catalog of both brands today, we find that the trend continues. While Waterman offers clearly female models (Audace, Ici et La), Parker does not have any clearly aimed at women. Of course, in reality, Waterman and Parker both belong to the same group as the subject, commercially speaking, there seems to be more important.
