Pen Rotation Transition

Posted in Fountain Pens

If you follow me on Instagram, you likely know I’ve just started a new pen rotation. It’s been a while since I shared how I manage pen rotations, so I figured I should remedy that, especially since I recently changed a few things to help with paring down my collection.

For most of you, this process will likely seem like a lot, and it is. But it also makes the rest of my rotation go faster and provides me valuable information for decision-making.

Transitioning to a new rotation starts during the final week of the existing rotation. I handle the transition in three phases:

  • closing out the previous rotation: the data phase,
  • preparing for the new rotation: the processing phase,
  • and starting the new rotation: the planning phase.

I’ve wanted one of Eric Sands‘ raden-esque pens for years. I’d hoped to request a commission, only to discover, once I finally asked, that he was no longer accepting them. Several times after that, I saw a pen that I would have liked, but I was always too slow to get it.

Finally, last year, Jim and I made it to the San Francisco Pen Show. The Atelier Lusso table was my second stop of the show, and I was able to snag this beauty. Clearly, I’m WAY behind on my pen porn posts, and I desperately need to catch up.
