Thanks to our friend of the podcast, @jjgtme, I now have embraced the Frankenpen Waldmann Titan with the titanium Bock #5 nib that he sent me. This one act of customization has made me take another look at the idea of Frankenpens. Plus, Tom and I discuss zombie apocalypses and Resident Evil.

Big announcement! Luxury Brands of America now distributes Laban pens! If you've followed my fountain pen reviews, you know that I'm a fan of Laban fountain pens. Especially, the 325 collection, which features an ivory-colored resin cap, end finial, and grip section with a gorgeous acrylic barrel and gold trim.

 
Here's my Laban 325 fountain pen review mentioned in this episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lqzNTeUZrk
 
Also from Luxury Brands, a ssssssneaky new release is coming at the end of February! The Benu Viper will charm you with its captivating, hand-painted snake coiled around the barrel of the pen.
