Thanks for everyone’s input on my “help me decide” post yesterday! After scouring the Chicago Pen Show, I ended up finding a little gem that really surprised me: this beautiful Aurora Optima with sterling silver guilloche cap and a factory italic grind, which blew me away!

For the first time in a while, I can say I am truly content with this stable of pens, and I plan to hold onto these for a very long time. Also, an honorable mention to my trusty daily driver, the Delta “Butterfly Flora” with the best steel M nib I’ve ever used.
