  • He he, I got a lot of the safaris too ; black, white, red, pink/violet, yellow,…

    EF nib being my favourite. I don’t think there are any shops selling nibs only here in Bordeaux (my french is not very good) but maybe I’ll buy a pack on ebay/amazon to upgrade my F and fatter ones … It’s so fun to fill them up with other inks too.

    Do you only/mostly write when journaling? I try to “journal” but I’m basically only drawing.









  • I think DeAtramentis is too dry 😋 I don’t know how to explain it better but Carbon Black is very “fluid” and wet in comparison IMO.

    I did some ink hunting for aquarelle painting and there were only like three or four that were both black and not smudging at all, Carbon Black, DeAtramentis Archive and Sketch ink IIRC. The DeAtramentis Document does smudge though, not very much but still don’t drench it i water :-).

    Yes, Lamy is the workhorse of fountain pens, and I do like its build with a triangular finger rest and pop on cap. Super sturdy too!

    Can you buy Lamy stuff over the counter in France?
