I've had this for a few days. This is a perfect execution of a modern vintage style fountain pen. So building off the original J series that Estabrook made, it's not a large pen, right? So when the new Estabrook came out, when Kenro took over, you know, one of their first pens was to make the Estabrook Esty, which is a very large acrylic pen, really nothing like the historical Estabrooks, right? It was a standalone pen. It was a new Estabrook and a new design. While this pen is not like a mimic of the J, you can see a lot of the J in this pen. Number one, the size. It is a smaller pen, smaller than the Estys. If the Estys are too big for you or the Camdens are too big for you, this is going to be your pen. It's got a very sleek barrel. When it's uncapped, the grip section has a concave, you know, grip section. It fits your hand well. It's very light. It's very sleek. When it's uncapped, it feels a lot like the J does in feel. Just, it kind of really imitates that feel and style and build and size of that classic pen. I have the Capri Blue mic, which is like a blue swirled acrylic with gold trim. If you went to a fountain pen show and you saw like a full tray of probably these three colors, this one, the red one, and the black one, you would think someone had found like a new old stock, like set of vintage pens. They really do have that vintage look. The cap has a little bit taper that looks like the J. The clip is probably the most telling homage to the J. It's got the same stripes on the clip that the J had in the past. You know, that's the closest thing this current J has to the old one. So like, I noticed that immediately. It's like, oh, the clip design is perfect. Like it's the perfect match. So I think this pen is going to do very, very well for what Kenro has tried to do with this, you know, re-imagining of the J. So it's the JR because it's the J re-imagined, right? It's the modern version of what, if Estabrook was building the J today, what would it look like? And I think they kind of nailed the idea of what they're going to do here. And I think they executed it very well. I'm really, really enjoying this pen because I like this size of pen a lot. Size and weight perspective, it reminds me a lot of the Pelican 2 series and 4 series pens. Like that's the size and scale we're talking about here. You know, that size of Pelican, it's around that size, that weight. And, and you know, that's one of my favorite pens already. So this is, this is right in line with that. I think it's fantastic. And I think it's going to do really well. I can't wait until I can finally share pictures of these at 1201 Eastern on Friday, because no one gets to see this pen except me until then. So y'all go check them out. Y'all go check them out.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Brad Dowdy:''' I had the secret delivery from Kenro.
