After the writing sample, I talk about what I like and what I don't like about the pen. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.

The Edison metal bookmark actually makes for a good Christmas tree ornament.
I've had a Collier in my collection for a couple years now. It is always a pleasure to write with, one of my favorites.
I’ve been eyeing this pen for some time now and I haven’t been able to pull the trigger either. It’s freaking GORGEOUS! Thanks Doug. 👍
It's so good!
I had 3 Edison pens, one of them a custom-built (light blue and dark blue longitudinal stripes, re-nibbed with a 14k flex nib). I gave one of my Edisons away to a co-worker the day I retired from the Pentagon. Edison has a large choice of filling systems (no lever-fill though). I spoke to Brian at last year's DC Fountain Pen Supershow.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Don't have an Edison yet, but their pens were the first gold nibs that I wrote with at the Ohio Pen Show.
I love the Edison logo on their nibs. Gives it a vintage look to me.
I have the Jameson model from Edison and it's a top tier pen. Great support from Brian and the rest of the gang! I would love to add another Jameson to my collection, the size is just right!
Awesome! Thank you!
I've had my Collier, in Rock Candy, for about 5 years and it's still in the top tier of all my pens.
Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous pen, great review. I own several Edisons and I agree with everything you said. The people at Edison are really great to talk to and work with. They are very communicative and helpful and stand by their work. Glad you are enjoying the Collier. By the way, that stub nib added real panache!
It is a joy!
Love my Collier, and it is a pleasure to use. Agree with you regarding the "sleep on it" attitude, especially when using US$ or Euro's. Glad you pulled the trigger on that one.
Thanks, Peter!
A Very Happy Canada Day to you too!!!!😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great video. I have the Collier and love it. Bought direct and Brian is an excellent vendor. Helpful and communicative. I bought an architect nib later and it’s great. Welcome to Edison works. ✒️🖋️
Great to hear!
I got the Edison Collier in Night Hawk. It is so beautiful. I love it. I ordered it with an extra fine nib as I often use just regular paper to write with and the extra fine nibs work better with lower quality paper. I do find it a little scratchy but am going to try a swipe on some micro mesh to see if that helps. I would absolutely purchase again.
Glorious pen! I live in Ohio, and at the Ohio Pen Show I almost have to avert my eyes walking by the Edison table. Soooo tempting! Some day.... Your point about the difference in writing with the Jowo steel or gold is well taken. I have a Hardy Penwrights 10-T with a beautiful resin -- I think it was called "Middle Earth" -- that deserves a gold nib for the visuals, but the steel nib writes so well I just can't bring myself to swap it out.
The advantage to gold is longevity not writing quality.
@@InkquiringMinds Well! I'd have guessed the opposite. Of course, I have enough pens rotating in and out of use that I shouldn't think I'd wear them out in my lifetime even if I were the age when I started with fountain pens in 1969.
It isn’t the wear so much as the corrosion. Steel will corrode, gold won’t.
I too own various Edisons including this one, all purchased from Wonderpens, the Canadian distributor for Edison. Their current stock is limited, but they are Canadian. Happy Canada Day!
Yay 🇨🇦!
Thank you for mentioning FP prices in general and how you often make your purchasing decisions. I myself do it the same way. This particular model of an US made FP is really stunning and seems to be a well made writing instrument. Even I don't really miss the non existing cap band with that design which I would normally do. Have fun and enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent review, Doug. I have been looking at Edison pens and I think the Collier may be the one.
I am glad you mentioned that it can be eyedropper filled.
It is also great to see so many options for resins.
Thank you again, Doug.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy Canada Day! I have a few Edison Pens: my last purchase was the Collier Galaxy, a special edition from Atlas Stationers. beautiful Jonathon Brooks acrylic. I love those pens and the care that Brian takes on his pens. I am considering the Jameson (I think that is what is called) with the #8 nib, although the price is not low. We'll see! I like yours as well, and who knows, I may give my Collier a twin sister !
Awesome!👏
Sweet! I currently have three Edison pens: a Collier in Persimmon Swirl, a Collier Grande in Blue Grotto and a Menlo (draw filler) in Tortoise Lucite. Cheers!
Nice work!
Nice review of a beautiful pen Doug. I also only have one Edison and it is a Collier limited edition made with Garolite also known by the trade name G10. They are wonderful pens to write with!! Happy Canada to you, and enjoy that stub!!
Thanks, Jim!
I love my Edison Pen! All of them. I have three: 2 Colliers and a Goldspot Exclusive. The Collier is my favorite model by far. I have never had a pen write so well right out of the box. I had a small crack develop in the cap of my special edition pen from Goldspot and Brian and his crew fixed it without any problem. This is the kind of company I love to support. I hope you enjoy your pen,
Totally agree!
Beautiful pen, Doug.
It really is!
Amber is my favorite finish in pens.
Thanks for sharing!
I have had an Edison Collier Persimmon Swirl (fine nib) for a number of years. It is one of the first "serious" fountain pens I bought. It is so beautiful I have not been able to bring myself to ink it up. Stupid, yes. I know that. I hold it and look at it from time to time. And I am often on the verge of using it. But, I just have a mental block about writing with it. Like as if I would deface it by using it. Consequently, though you are tempting me Doug, I am biting my lip, telling myself: I don't need to spend more US dollars for an Edison Collier that I will likely never bring myself to use. (P.S, I bought mine from the company back then. I feel that Goldspot charges like 10% or so, even 15%, too much.)
Thanks for sharing, @user-br3sl9go3b! Use that pen!
What a beautiful pen, Doug! Thanks for showing it, and I am sure you are going to reach for this pen for years to come. I also appreciate the Diamine Ancient Copper ink. I have been inking up my pens with Hazelnut but I have a Benu Bourbon which this ink will partner with just nicely. Have a great week and Happy Canada Day. BTW there's some ex Royals that might be looking for new cheap housing soon. Anything up your way?
We’ll send them to BC!😂
Like always great review!!!. I have a Collier Azure Skies in Medium and just love the pen. The balance, feel and performance is top notch. I am Fortunate to have one in my collection, why fortunate is bcuz Edison still is not available in India, got mine from ebay (Brian, if this is reaching out to you, pl consider World's 5th largest economy as a market). Doug, Keep up the good work.
congrats! this is a nice looking one!
I think so too!
Hi Doug so I see you took the plunge at last & I knew you would not be disappointed.I have four Edison pens,2 Beaumont models,1 Collier & a Collier Grande in Tortoise Lucite finish with a #8 nib & it’s a draw filler.The last pen I purchased from a dealer here in the UK used but excellent condition.The Grande is only available directly from Edison pens.Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
Thanks Ed!
Q: "Are we not pen?"
A: "We are Devo" 😂
I’ll have to start wearing upside down flower pots!
Gorgeous looking pen!
I ended up getting a 601 flight with the fude nib because of you! Love how it writes, and the pump filling is fun too. The cap feels like it grinds and marks up the pen body when closing, has that been your experience with it too? (Not that I expect a e95s-esque like closing feel, but the 601 is a rough closer)
I’ve not experienced that.
Beautiful pen and great video, Doug. Did you buy the stub nib from Collier or someone else?
In the same order from Goulet.
No postee, no buyee. I have to post my pens. Too bad because it is a cool looking pen.
Hi Doug.
I have two stub yowo, a 1.1 and a 1.5 and they write excellent.
Thanks for sharing!
