How to Torch Your Own Kaweco Liliput Fireblue Edition
Many of you have asked how I torched my stainless steel Kaweco Liliput into a vibrant Fireblue, and I'm here to tell you: it is surprisingly easy. Watching the bare metal transform into rich purple and bright blue in a flash is absolutely mesmerising. Whether you want a smooth, flawless blue or a rugged, mottled patina, here is exactly how you can safely recreate this beautiful finish at your own workbench!

Tokyo: The Quiet Side of This Trip
Through a serendipitous series of events, I found myself in Tokyo for a packed three-day trip. Between giving a talk at Keio University and attending events, it was incredibly difficult to quiet my racing mind. Yet, amidst the rush, I found unexpected moments of inner peace—an hour at a local tea shop, Sunday mass at a nearby church, and a perfect bowl of cold udon. None of this was planned. I’ve found that the simple desire to be quiet, combined with letting things happen, somehow just works.

CURATE to Differentiate - Tokyo, Keio, TN and Bromie Meetup
Heading to Tokyo for 3 days: Day 1 at the Traveler’s Notebook 20th event. Day 2 speaking at Keio University on brand ethos (their crossed fountain pen logo is perfect). Day 3 Brompton cycling in rural Tokyo. This serendipity tells me things are good. A secondary bestie abroad shared his feelings on song lyrics and we clicked again, just like that. It reminds me to be quiet in appreciation. With such a full itinerary, there’s only one blank page left in this notebook I wish I could fill.
