Lamy Dialog 3 fountain pen, Venvstas Designer 8 pencil

I'm not dead! I still have a lot of stuff to demo and show, I just haven't had much time until now with working as a medic during the pandemic, attending summer school, and getting settled in our new house. The Dialog 3 is a fun pen, though the EF nib is ever-so-slightly architect in its point, it's a little broader than I wanted, but still is a great writer. The clip is kind of bad though, it doesn't extend far enough out to truly "clear" a pocket. And paired with the pen is the new Venvstas Designer 8 clutch pencil. I absolutely, positively adore this pencil. It works with a staedler rotary sharpener and the mechanism is outrageously satisfying. It's expensive, but I'd argue it's the best pencil in the world.
