== Lamy pens discussion ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right, that's right. Although, I do get up into Lamy again today, so we have that to look forward to at least.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're in your Lamy era. So, last week's show, we had Enigma Stationery as a sponsor. They're not sponsoring this week's show, but they sent one of the Mark 1s to me. It didn't arrive in time, so I just wanted to do, you know, I want to make good on the fact that I had nothing to say about the Enigma Mark 1 Special Edition on last week's episode. I have it, and it's kind of stupendous. Like, it is so good looking. They did, everybody involved did a wonderful job. And I know what you mean now, because last time you said it had a different texture, right? Yes. And I was like, I didn't want to correct you, because I thought it might have been like the one that we did for RelayFM hosts this year. Because that Cerakote had a kind of an additive added into it, and it gave it kind of a shine. But this is more than that. Right. Okay. So, I'm not crazy. No, you're not. And Dan actually confirmed it's Cerakoted as normal, but it has a coating because of the glitter that they put into it. So, like, it is actually finished differently. So, it has a rougher, but not in about, like, it has a texture. There's just more of a texture going on.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's smooth and shiny, but it's not, like, polished glassy. It's hard to delineate between those descriptions when you're trying to, like, physically describe the feel of something. Yeah. Yeah. I was using it on stream yesterday, just writing some notes, and I actually got an email when I was done. Because I didn't really, I was just writing, and I wasn't talking about the pen. I just picked it up to write these notes on my email. What was that pen you were using? I need to know what that pen was. Yeah. It's a knockout. It's a knockout.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I think there are still some available. I'll put our link in the chat. So, it's been a stalwart on my desk here. It's been really good. I want to talk about a couple of products throughout our episode today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' One of them that I'm finding interesting more so from an idea than as a, like, necessarily something I want. But, you know, I've long been a fan of Black Wings. I was a volume subscriber for a long time. I'm no longer a Black Wings subscriber. I actually hadn't bought any newer Black Wings since one of the era's models came out a year or two ago. But I always follow them, right? Because I think they do interesting stuff. So, now they've, for a while, they've been doing Black Wings Lab pencils where they will make just some different types of features on the pencils, whether it's a different type of finish or a different type of artwork or some different type of, you know, ideas that they're putting out in smaller batches and they're calling it Labs. Well, now they have a Black Wings Labs notebook. So, I caught this on Instagram and scrolled through my feed and I was like, wait a minute. Is this a, like, cut-proof cover on this notebook? That's immediately what I saw when I saw this cover. So, you're familiar with, like, those cutting boards, right?
