== Pen Stylus Combos ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. I'm starting to see a lot more of those – the pen stylus combos come around. I know Monteverdi makes a decent one. It's like a $30 ballpoint stylus combo. And at the pen show, there are actually a handful of other smaller ones. It's starting to become more and more prevalent. I haven't seen that still below, but I bet we'll keep seeing more pens like that hitting the market here this year.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Indeed. So, yeah, that was the kind of stuff that I picked up this week. Nothing too special. Maybe by the next time we talk, I'll plonk the money down for a vanishing point. Who knows?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have very little faith in myself. Oh, I have little faith in myself. I'm always scared when someone says that on one of my recommendations. They're like, oh, you're terrible. You cost me $140.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, see, I always knew I was going to get one. I've spoken about it for so long. It's been on my list for a while. And from like when I first, you know, I asked you in chat, I think this was before we actually started the show, but when we were planning it, I said, are there any retractable fountain pens? And you sent me, it was like this one, but it's crazy expensive.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I do have one up. I do have, before we finish, this is just a question for you and maybe we can talk about it next week. Okay. So I now feel like since using the Retro 51, which I love so dearly as I've already said in this episode and continue to say, I kind of feel like I'm a little bit spoiled for pens, like for that sort of quality experience. Because on the whole, I actually, you know, I enjoy a quality pen, you know? Right. So I think I'm going to need some recommendations for pens like that one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I could be something for another time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I'll have to work on that actually because that's a, that pens in a quality and price area that does not have a lot of competition.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that, you know, I would expect to pay a little bit more.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, there's going to be some, to get comparable to that, there's going to be a lot of some gives and some takes. And yeah, we can definitely talk about that. So that's actually a good idea.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We can add that, but definitely not on the next episode.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right, right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Whenever that may be.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We will not jump that gun again, hopefully.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Unless there's a London pen show. Although I do have to point out, I got an email from a friend of the show, I believe. I think it was Edith Robertson. Yeah, Edith Robertson sent in another note. She'd sent in some stuff about some UK pen stores. The 24th of April is National Stationery Day in the UK. Gotcha.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So just thought I'd point that out. That's pretty cool. So we know about it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Very cool. How are you going to celebrate?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Buy lots of pens.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's how I sort of celebrate every day.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. Hey, that's no different from any other day, right?
