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!

  18. This is the harsh truth: most HVAC failures happen because someone skipped a step. Failed to calculate the load properly. Used undersized equipment. Got wrong the insulation needs. We have fixed countless of these failures. And every time, we remember another learning. Like in 2017, when we began adding WiFi controls to all installation. Why? Because Sarah, our lead tech, got sick of watching homeowners lose money on poor temperature management. Now clients save hundreds yearly.

  20. I need to share with you something nearly all septic companies refuse to: there are two types of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are merely “subterranean tanks for waste,” and those that have had raw sewage erupting into their property at 2 AM. I understood this distinction the difficult way in 2005—knee-deep in sludge, shivering in a Washington downpour, as my family and I aided a grizzled installer restore our family’s failed system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My jeans were destroyed. But that night, something crystallized: This is not just manual labor. It’s families’ lives we are protecting.
    Let me share the ugly truth: most septic companies just pump tanks. They’re like quick-fix salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They’re different. It all started back in the early 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family’s septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three pre-teens waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil porosity affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. “We did not just dig trenches,” Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. “We understood how earth whispers truths. A patch of marsh plants here? That’s Mother Nature shouting ‘high water table.'”

  46. Here’s the brutal truth: most HVAC failures occur because someone ignored a step. Did not calculate the load correctly. Used cheap equipment. Got wrong the insulation needs. We’ve personally fixed hundreds of these messes. And every time, we file away another lesson. Like in 2017, when we decided on adding smart thermostats to all install. Why? Because Sarah, our lead tech, got tired of watching homeowners burn money on bad temperature settings. Now clients save hundreds yearly.
