I umm’d and ahh’d about Tom’s pens for ages. You know, wanting to possess such a lovely thing but aware that I don’t write by hand as much as I used to and so on? Then the Wren appeared and I could rationalise buying a pen at long last....
It’s lovely.
I love the fact that I could choose the colours - dark purple and dark green - and it fits very comfortably in the hand; solid and weighty. It’s got that satisfying action of something that has been well-engineered: the cap fits perfectly in both configurations, the barrel is silky, the writing ‘feel’ is excellent - smooth and fluid on the page. I like the fact that I can change inks and I love the fact that, with luck, I can use it and use it and use it - provided I don’t lose it.
I’ve had it engraved (mind you, I would have preferred a black lettering or silver/gold to white but it’s a minor quibble) so that there is a chance that it might return to me, should I mislay it! At least no-one in the immediate vicinity is going to have precisely this pen, in these colours…
If you are hesitating, hesitate no longer. Go ahead. I don’t think you’ll regret owning a Wren.
