Edison Nouveau Encore Price Drop

We're dropping the price on the Edison Nouveau Encore from $185 to $165, thanks to Brian Gray's production improvements and our desire to make the pen more affordable. Because we feel it's the right thing to do, we've credited back anyone who's bought the pen already for the difference :)
