Editing The Pen Addict 682/transcript (section)

== Like, the release is called, I'm sorry. ==
* Like, the release is called, I'm sorry.
* I'm sorry.
* I'm sorry.
* I put a screenshot in Discord.
* I'll put the link in the show notes.
* You need to get this in Safari's translation.
* It just says, I'm sorry.
* I'm sorry.
* I'm sorry.
* Oh, my gosh.
* What could that even be?
* I don't know, man.
* This is, yeah, this is a Japanese tea ceremony set.
* That's what they're going for here.
* I don't think I'm sorry.
* And this, maybe this is, like.
* It's translating the image text.
* So, that's probably even more difficult.
* Yeah.
* Maybe this is, like, some tea ceremony that is, I don't know.
* Maybe it's something about, like, being sorry.
* But it doesn't kind of translate in that way.
* Yeah, it's hard to tell because these machine translations are not great most of the time.
* No.
* Yeah.
* Incredible.
* Yeah, especially on the images.
* But props to Sailor.
* Again, two great Sailor products, I think.
* The Tuzu and the Tea Time series.
* Always going to be winners in my book.
* They do a really good job with these.
* So, it might even tempt me to get another Tuzu one of these years.
* And they've made some cool colors.
* Like, the last one they did was a purple translucent.
* So, I like, you know, I like my fun translucent barrels.
* We've already had a balloon talk.
* So, and I'll probably get the green Tea Time ink.
* So, we'll see.
* We'll see.
* Good stuff.
* I absolutely want the Matcha 1 inking of pen.
* Yeah, it's so good.
* I want to think about how expensive that would be.
* So, the new price is now, I think, over $1,000, I think.
* Yeah.
* Yes.
* Yeah.
* Like, they've recently been, like, in the last two years, they got to $880, I think, was the retail.
* And now, I think they're a little bit over $1,000.
* I don't remember how much I paid for my King of Pens.
* Yeah.
* I paid in the sixes.
* Yeah, that seems about right.
* And that was just, and that just would give me, like, a panic attack.
* Yeah.
* When I bought my Sky Blue, or Sky, it's just called Sky, I think it was $660.
* I'll say, like, the Sailor King of pen is about as good a pen as you could ever wish to buy.
* Like, they're essentially, for me, perfect.
* I could not spend $1,000 on it, though.
* Yeah, yeah, yeah.
* They're a, at most, $800 pen, I think.
* Yeah, my review was very specific on how overpriced they are, but I still wanted it, you know.
* And that was in the 660 range.
* Like, it's literally a plastic barrel with a nib that probably costs, like, $400 or something like that on it, is what it is.
* So, it's...
* And that's why it's so expensive, right?
* Because, as you said, we just spoke about the gold problem.
* Like, the nibs are so big.
* Like, they are so big.
* And they are, I guess, really, really carefully made.
* Yeah, and 21 carats, so they're higher quality.
* So, yeah, they're expensive.
* They're expensive.
* So, not a surprise.
* That price keeps going up.
* So...

* Yeah, speaking of interesting pens and interesting filling systems, they have the Endless Captivo, which we've spoken about on the show.
* And I've never got one, but given the price of this, this is the pen that has the built-in filling mechanism, like built into the back of the barrel, where you just kind of, it's almost like a ratchet mechanism in the back of the barrel that allows you to piston fill the pen.
* But the price is, as Pen Chalet does, is crazy low.
* And they have the black and silver model and then you can get the fully blacked-out stealth model, which is pretty cool.
* But this price is going to make me, like, I probably need to get one.
* Other people have reviewed this pen and I think they've reviewed it pretty positively on how the filling mechanism works.
* And for this price, it's crazy cheap.
* And speaking of crazy cheap, I don't know that I've ever seen an Aurora Optima at this price.
* So they're a very expensive pen, but it's just a great classic, beautifully made, gold nib, firm gold nib, piston filling, fountain pen, Italian-made fountain pen.
* And that's kind of a core pen in just like the fountain pen universe.
* Like, it's a classic pen.
* And for that reason, they usually don't get discounted very much just because the Aurora Optimas just kind of sell themselves.
* But they're at a really good price right now.
* And you should definitely go check that out.
* And further down the page, they definitely have some of the Sailor seasonal pens that I was talking about for a price that makes you want them.
* Like, you know, you just look at all the releases and you go, how can they keep releasing these pens?
* But then you, if you just wait and you're patient, you can find one you like at a really good price like over at penshalet.com.
