'''Brad Dowdy:''' I also listen to this show and listeners know from the last time we were going through our deals page at PenChalet dot com. I got got, which we'll talk about in a minute. So you should always scroll all the way down to the bottom because that's where I found a product that had to jump into my cart. But again, over at Pen Chalet, the Estabrook JR is just a great fountain pen. It's smaller than like their smaller Estee than their Estee models. Is it a piston? No, it is not. It looks like it. So this is theoretically vintage styled, you know, with these types of cap bands and the way like just the general appearances are with these modern materials. Like the Blue Breeze is just a stunner, right? Like I've had that one across my desk before for a review.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, that would have been piston though, right? Is that that's kind of what they're aiming for visually?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They didn't. They always had a lever in this original JR. But yeah, I totally understand what you're seeing here. Yeah. Right. And that's just like in the way they do the the finial on the end of the barrel does make it by all appearances. But it is a cartridge converter.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because even though there's a pen down lower down, which looks beautiful, the LeBan Desert Mirage 326. Yes. That has a band, but there's also like a different color in the section. So you can kind of it makes more it like makes visual like, oh, I see why that's there. But when I saw the yeah, I was like, oh, it must be a piston filler. But it's just a visual detail.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So those the LeBan pins was another one I was going to mention. They're just a very good quality pin that I always speak highly of when I get to test them out, try them. I don't have one in my collection, but I probably will one of these days because they do. They do a lot of this style where they'll do just like the middle section of a material and do just like the ivory finials and grip sections. Nice. And they're always exceptional quality when I get them like to try that. They always feel really, really good as a writer. Same with the JRs. They also have an SD Maui in here, which is just basically like the ice. This looks like an ice snow cone or whatever that famous. Oh, yeah, it does. Hawaiian ice. Hawaiian ice. Shave ice. Shave ice. That's the word I was looking for. That's the phrase.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We got there, gang.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We got there. It looks so cool. I've seen this pin in person a million times, and it just looks amazing. They also have the Benu Pixi for a really, really great price. A bunch of them, actually. So, several models. So, yeah, go check it out. If you're a pirate fan. Pencholet is loaded up. You know. Yeah, they have pirate ones. Jolly Roger. And they have glitter ones. So, they have a lot. They have a lot. So, yeah, go check out everything over at pencholet.com.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, Myke. We got our shout-out of the week. Shout-out of the week. The Stationer. Just recent shout-out of the week when Tessa announced that they were opening up a storefront in London. Would you say in London or outside of London? What would be the description?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, South London is London. And how dare you? South London. I don't know. That was a genuine. All right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was a genuine question, outsider.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Now, I will give you that there are people that live in places that are outside of London that say they live in London. No, South London is very much London. I thought so, but I just wanted to catch. So, see the postal code is SE23. SE means Southeast, which means London. Gotcha. So, it's like you've got Northeast, West, Southeast, Southwest. Wow, I got scolded. Yeah. Well, you know, us South Londoners, Brad, we take it very personally.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I can tell. Yeah. I can tell. So, I wanted to follow up because the actual physical store is now open. Yeah. So, I wanted to give Tessa a shout-out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' How beautiful it is, too.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's so cool. She does such a good job. Yeah. The pictures are great. She's super excited. Obviously, nervous, right, getting all this done. Everything seemed to move very fast. I've been following her on Instagram, seeing all the updates and stuff. So, yeah. Go check it out. I literally, like, about a month ago, I got feedback. It's like, hey, I'm going to London. You know, what store should I go to? And now we can put the stationer on there. So, it's great. And congratulations, Tessa.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm hoping for Tessa that this becomes, like, a destination store for people. And I think that she's doing everything she can, including the visuals of the store and all this kind of stuff. So, I haven't visited the store yet, but we're hoping to pop by sometime this weekend. Yep. I'm really excited.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, I think literally we're within days of opening. Yeah. Like, it's just a few days ago. Probably, like, I don't even know, Monday this week. I don't even know. But, yeah, very, very recently. So, congratulations. Just an amazing person and an amazing store. So, definitely go give them some support. Speaking of amazing, Myke, the Tiger King of Pen has arrived.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I guess so.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You're like, oh, this is one of the pens of all time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know what, Brad? This is a pen of all time. How about that?
