After seeing Brad’s tweet about the new Kaweco Student colours, see below..

.. I couldn’t resist showing you my Kawecco Student 70s Soul again.
I have more fountain pens than I dare to admit and love EF nibs. The Soul has the smoothest and ‘finest’, in both senses of the word, EF nib of all my fountain pens.
PS: Nice naming scheme, Kaweco.
Bleistift Blog is wishing you all the best for 2020.
If you want to start the new year with new mechanical pencils (from Caran d’Ache, Faber-Castell, Lamy and BIC) you still have a few days left to take part in the Stationery Wiki:Mechanical Pencil Day Contest 2019 (..if you read this blogpost on the day it was published).
All you need to do is to improve an article or maybe even create a new article to have a chance of winning.
Good Luck – for 2020 and for the contest.
Previously, I mentioned the start of Stationery.wiki‘s Mechanical Pencil Day Contest 2019, running until 7 January 2020 extended until 31 January 2020.
It’s time to show what’s up for grabs: one Swiss-made, two German-made and one Japanese-made mechanical pencil.
Please take part!

After the paper computer1 and the paper watch there’s now a paper phone.
The idea of using paper instead of technology isn’t really new to stationery enthusiasts: This time it is Google’s turn to feature the idea of replacing tech with paper and this has been reported by many newspapers and news websites.
The paper phone kind of reminds me of IBM’s ‘Think Pad’.
If you’re in the UK you might be interested in Lidl’s recent offers, including eraser tipped coloured pencils from Staedtler.
I didn’t buy them, but will probably go back to get a pack. They might be quite useful as I use coloured pencils for writing in notebooks I use at work.
