Hello, Azizah. Two beautiful pens, but I'd exchange the nibs in the bodies, & not just because of your preference – rather, the steel blade appeared to be far more robust (& sure, gold is the softer material). I do like the 'Blue Abyss', primarily due to the presence of an actual piston fill mechanism; the posh captive (cartridge) converter is nice, but personally, I'd always opt for the piston unit. I'd also say, the 'Positano Blue' body looks less expensive – you just cannot get away from those deep, dark blue hues & swirls in the Abyss (schwiiing !! ). Now (& this is only a gentle reminder), it's Father's day here in the UK – next Sunday (16th)….& I just know the name of a guy who would dearly love either of those as a giveaway….. 😀
When I was born, subtlety was still in nappies (diapers to you)..so go on, give a middle aged man something sleek, smooth, curvaceous, & sophisticated – & no, it's not a Zimmer frame….
Thank you, as always… ;D
I've never heard of including shavings of celluloid. Can the shavings be used for anything? If not I see them as something just to be discarded. I sure like the pens though! I'd like to have one in dark blue though not quite like the blue shown here or maybe in cobalt blue.
They are nice pens. Not great, rare, or exquisitely crafted. Just nice. The resin is acrylic. The pricing is ludicrous.
I had an odd feeling of déjà vu when I saw those two pens, and then realized they were the same ones that Stephen was showing last month. But that's okay, since watching you write is strangely sensual. 🤔
packaging reminds me of OMAS. Although the OMAS packaging was not really cheap.
Great review. I agree with you on the packaging – the simpler the better. I love the look of the Abyss, but went with the Positano due to price. Very very happy with the Positano. Needed to clean it before I used it, though, as an FYI.
Never having had a fine nib, I can't work out if my Lamy Aion is scratchy or feedbacky. Any advice?
The Positano Blue is gorgoeus!!! Thank you, Azizah.
Thank you so much for the review. I can't remember if I messaged you before I bought mine cause I couldn't wait for your review. 😂 I love my Resin.
Azizah thanks for this review. Is just me, or does the steel nib seem to write wider than the gold one? Both really cool pens.
Pretty pens for sure. I’m a sucker for chatoyance. Even though every time I type that word, I cringe a bit. Sounds ridiculously pretentious, but ever since I learned what it means, it’s the perfect word to use when the pen has it. 😉
Good Day, I hope you are enjoying your new city. The Leonardo Positano in blue acrylic, is the nib a #5 or #6 size? Is there any marking on the nib to indicate who the maker is? You are familiar with the online retailers in europe; I live in the U.S., which ones do you recommend? THANK YOU for the informative and enjoyable videos you and your husband have done over the years; I am looking forward to many more.
Delta's design DNA lives on even though the company is gone. The Delta Journal was a great-feeling pen. Nice to see this. Beautiful materials. I like the Positano Blue.
