I have this exact pen. I got it as a pair with a fountain pen of the same style from my mum for Christmas in about 2005. I have used it almost daily ever since. It even got stolen once but I was able to get it back.

I think it is much more how and where you work. I am in IT so do multiple onsites a day. So I wouldn't even bring a more expensive pen with me as I know what will happen. Those stay on my desk in my office. I just sit at too many desks and will eventually it will get put down and disappear. Nice pens are too pocketable and it will walk away. I usually carry something like a zebra 301 with me but I have been carrying a collapsible space pen with me that is a bit more expensive. I realized I bought it years ago to use on the road, and never really used it because, I was worried about losing it. Maybe in my old age I will be more mindful.

The regular Parker Jotter work great and have same feel and are only a few bucks in store (difference is the bottom is plastic and metal accent vs all metal).
Same refills and super available I'd also recommend the space pen. They are excellent as well. (Wife keeps one in purse and uses one daily).
Jotter is my all time favorite though.

Actually I do have a Coach wallet as well! I’m not big on name brands but I also bought it for cheap at a Coach outlet and love it. Its a slim design. Geez that thing is pretty old too and in great shape! Some definite BIFL wins!

It takes a bit more care, but you save a fortune in replacement blades.

Yup we had one when I was a kid, it never broke or quit, I think we just gave it away when moving. After going through 2 cheaper rice cookers as an adult, we finally bought a Zojirushi about 3 years ago and I love it.

Not quite as long. I’d say the binder is about 20 years old. The leather is SOFT, but I polish it with black shoe polish once in a while because it gets scuffed from use.

Hows shaving with this kind of razor? Ive only ever used Gilette mach 3s, are these kind of razors "fool proof"? I shave quickly and dont want to end up peeling my face.

Parker G2 style refills aren't pressurized, but they're pretty decent.

I either have to get a size 11 and my feet can slide or a size 10 and I'm cramped, they don't make half sizes it seems?

Just the Parker OEM refills, which I think are pressurized.

Have you had the binder as long as the pen? If so, the leather really holds up well

Hey man, we're late to your party, all good
Aggressive grey? Thought it mean color and design, but this blade is designed for an aggressive shave? I like good copy like the next bearded man, but "A DE razor that simultaneously is aggressive in nature but at the same time a truly comfortable shave" ?

I have a metal Jotter and it's been going great for like 3 years so far for me. It's so great!
