PEN REVIEW: Edison Nouveau Premiere – Summer 2014

Posted on by

As soon as the mail carrier knocked quietly on the door (she doesn’t want to disturb the dogs…haha), I jumped up because I knew what was going to be on the porch waiting for me.

Days before, I’d seen the preview and knew I was going to own this pen – the Edison Nouveau Premiere – Caribbean Sea (Summer Edition 2014).

I have its Cherry Blossom – Spring 2014 sister. And I practically squealed when I saw the color of the Caribbean Sea.

Anyway . . . what I didn’t know was that within a few days of learning about this pen (a Goulet Pens exclusive from Edison Pen Co.), I’d have a note from Rachel Goulet – yes, the Rachel Goulet!!! – asking if I’d review some items for them from time to time and in exchange I’d get to keep the items. Are you kidding? Of course I will! I love what they’re doing over at Goulet Pens and how they’re doing it. I’m a frequent customer and huge fan. I’m seriously honored that they would ask me (just don’t tell them that I probably would have bought this pen anyway, ok?)

So..that’s the disclaimer, I received this pen at no charge to me and I’m being totally honest about what I think of it.

I love it.

The name of this pen is perfect – Caribbean Sea. The color is a gorgeous blue-green with lots of depth, swirls, and sheens. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of it from different angles, in different light, on different surfaces. If you like the way it looks in my (very amateur) pictures, you’ll love the way it looks in person – seriously.

The shape of the Premiere is . . . interesting. It has the pointiest cap ever. In fact, I challenge you to find a pen with a more pointy cap.

I love that the section (the part you grip) is contoured and there is no steep drop-off between it and the body of the pen. It’s very comfortable in the hand.

The cap can be posted, but I’m finding that I like writing with it unposted better. It’s definitely not a weight issue – more that the pen is longer than average when posted and that may take some getting used to.

Of course, looks are only part of the equation when it comes to fountain pens.  How does it write?

I’m going to pat myself on the back for choosing the perfect color to go with this pen: Toucan Bright Blue. (More on Toucan inks coming soon.)

Here are some scanned handwriting samples. Click here to see the full-sized handwritten review.

Someone on Instagram asked me how the nib compared with the nib of a Lamy Safari. My answer is that the Edison Nouveau is more buttery smooth than the Lamy Safari. Some people like a little feedback when writing and others like a super duper smooth experience.

I’d say that the flow is a bit wet – but I like that. This nib is a medium, by the way.

I just checked and the Carribean Sea is sold out.  I’m pretty sure it will be back in stock, though – summer has just begun!

OK, that’s that. What do you think?  Did you order this one as soon as it came out? Will you be waiting for it to come back into stock?  And…do you match your ink to your pen colors?

I’ll be back later this week with an ink review!

xoxo

Edited to Add:  It’s in stock – get it here!

  3. This is the harsh truth: most HVAC failures occur because someone ignored a step. Didn’t calculate the load properly. Used undersized equipment. Misjudged the insulation needs. We’ve fixed dozens of these failures. And every time, we remember another learning. Like in 2017, when we began adding remote monitoring to all install. Why? Because Sarah, our senior tech, got frustrated of watching homeowners waste money on bad temperature control. Now clients save hundreds yearly.

  25. Here’s the brutal truth: most HVAC failures take place because someone skipped a step. Didn’t calculate the load properly. Used cheap equipment. Miscalculated the insulation needs. We have fixed countless of these disasters. And each time, we record another lesson. Like in 2017, when we decided on adding remote monitoring to each installation. Why? Because Sarah, our lead tech, got tired of watching homeowners waste money on bad temperature management. Now clients save hundreds yearly.

  37. An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you ought to publish more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo matter but generally people do not speak about such issues. To the next! Cheers!!

  40. Let me tell you something the majority of septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who assume septic systems are merely “underground boxes for waste,” and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their yard at the dead of night. I learned this distinction the difficult way in 2005—standing in mud, shivering in a Washington rainstorm, as my brothers and I aided a grizzled installer fix our family’s broken system. I was a teenager. My hands blistered. My jeans were ruined. But that moment, something changed: This ain’t just dirt work. It’s people’s lives we’re safeguarding.
    This is the harsh truth: the majority of septic companies just service tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all began back in the early 2000s when Art and his family—just kids hardly tall enough to shoulder a shovel—aided install their family’s septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil porosity affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. “We did not just dig trenches,” Art explained to me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. “We understood how ground whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That’s Mother Nature screaming ‘high water table.'”

  41. This is the brutal truth: the majority of HVAC failures occur because someone ignored a step. Did not calculate the load properly. Used undersized equipment. Got wrong the insulation needs. We’ve fixed dozens of these disasters. And each time, we record another insight. Like in 2017, when we began adding smart thermostats to every installation. Why? Because Sarah, our lead tech, got frustrated of watching homeowners lose money on bad temperature management. Now clients save hundreds yearly.

  47. Let me share the ugly truth: nearly all HVAC failures take place because someone ignored a step. Didn’t calculate the load correctly. Used undersized equipment. Got wrong the insulation needs. We’ve personally fixed dozens of these messes. And each time, we file away another learning. Like in 2017, when we decided on adding smart thermostats to each installation. Why? Because Sarah, our senior tech, got frustrated of watching homeowners burn money on bad temperature management. Now clients save hundreds yearly.
