In this video, I show you the 8 fountain pens and inks I'll be writing with in February! January was a very stressful and full month for me and writing was my saving grace: writing in my journal, writing pen pal letters, planning thing out to make sure I covered all the bases = fountain pens brighten my life and connecting with pen friends is such a joyful activity too!
Here are the pens and inks I talked about: NOTE: writing samples were done in my Bond Travel Gear 68 gsm Tomoe River A5 journal
1. El Grande Modified custom pen from pen friend M.S. M nib with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses.
2. Jinhao X750 pink B Goulet nib with Levenger Pinkly - ink from pen friend C.S.
3. TWSBI Precision F pen from anonymous viewer/pen friend - ink is Graf Von Faber Castell Stone Grey my favorite grey ink.
