Episode 5: Are You a User or a Collector of Stationery?

<p>Do you consider yourself a user or collector of stationery? Maybe a bit of both? In the fifth episode of On the Paper Trail, we talk about a topic that draws strong opinions and maybe even a little bit of judgment in the stationery world. Whether you use every pen, bottle of ink, or rare notebook that you own, or maintain pristine archives for posterity, how we view our stationery is intensely personal and will differ from person to person. We also discuss events at the upcoming Arkansas Pen Show and the San Francisco Stationery Fest! </p><p><strong>Show Notes and Links</strong></p><ol><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/collections/NAGASAWA?sort_by=best-selling&filter.p.product_type=Pen&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Nagasawa Exclusive Pens</strong></a> (Lisa&#39;s Pen)</li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/search?type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&options%5Bunavailable_products%5D=last&q=Custom+Urushi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Pilot Custom Urushi</strong></a> (Lisa&#39;s Pen)</li><li><a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop/pilot-custom-74-lavender-fog" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Pilot Custom 74 Lavender Fog</strong></a> (Joe&#39;s Pen)</li><li><a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop/uni-zento-standard-5mm-and-38mm-sizes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Uni Zento</strong></a> (Joe&#39;s Pen)</li><li><a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop/pilot-s20-ballpoint-pen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Pilot S20 Ballpoint</strong></a> (Joe&#39;s Pen)</li><li><a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-roterfaden-shop/roterfaden-taschenbegleiter-tgs-25-special-edition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Roterfaden TGS_25 A5 Slim</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/the-curated-shop?category=Laurett%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Laurett&#39;s Pens</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/collections/fountain-pen-ink-by-brand?sort_by=best-selling&filter.p.vendor=Troublemaker&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Troublemaker Inks</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/collections/paper-by-brand?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.p.vendor=Wearingeul&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Wearingeul Paper</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/collections/paper-by-brand?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.p.vendor=NAGASAWA&filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Nagasawa 6-Ring Refills</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/xp5kJpziX5c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Episode 2: Matthew Chen Talks Kodachi Nibs</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/products/akkerman-05-shocking-blue?_pos=1&_fid=f3cffa870&_ss=c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Akkerman Standard Ink Bottle Example</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://vanness1938.com/products/akkerman-dutch-masters-rembrandts-karmozijn-crimson" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Akkerman Dutch Masters Ink Bottle Example</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.arpenshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow"><strong>Arkansas Pen Show</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.sfstationeryfest.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>San Francisco Stationery Fest</strong></a></li></ol><p>When they’re not on the road, you can find Joe over at <a href="https://www.gentlemanstationer.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow">The Gentleman Stationer </a>and Lisa over at <a href="www.vanness1938.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener norefer
