GRAIL PEN DELIVERY! Waterman Edson Boucheron AND Newton Pens Shinobi

For a long time I have been wanting a Waterman Edson. I especially wanted one when I saw the Edson in a Boucheron edition. I finally got one. It was my very first "Grail Pen" I wanted. ALSO, the wait is finally over and I got my Newton Pens custom made Shinobi. I ordered the pen in September of 2017 and it arrived in my mail delivery just today. I unbox and show them both in today's video.

Waterman Lauréat fountain pen

The latest addition to the Watermen fountain pen family is the Waterman Lauréat. I will also compare the Lauréat to some of its similar slender bodied Waterman siblings. Both the Lauréat and Executive models discussed in the video are no longer in production.
Executive (c. 1976 – c. 1989)
Lauréat (c.1985 – c. 2000)

Pen Mail - 3 Russians, One US Vintage Waterman, & One new German

In today's mail, I got three Soviet Union surplus pens from the Ukraine, another Waterman Commando, and a Schneider pen (my wife's new purchase).

I have already restored the Waterman Commando since getting it today and it writes AWESOME! It was already in great condition and just needed a little polishing and a new sac. Two of the Russian pens have been smoothed out and write well. One is a problem child still and needs more work.
