In this video, I show you the 8 fountain pens and inks I'll be writing with and experimenting with in January. I also have several pens to write dry from December as well but I am excited about trying out these new combinations and I'll do a progress report mid January and let you know how it's going!
Here's a list of pens & inks discussed:
1. Lamy NEXX Emerald F with Lamy Turquoise (converter)
2. Kaweco Perkeo All Black M with Robert Oster Lake of Fire (converter)
3. Pilot 78g Black EF with Cross Black (converter)
4. Pilot Kakuno Pink F with Wearingeul Pride and Prejudice (cartridge refilled by me)
5. Pelikan Twist Silver M with Laban Athena (converter)
6. rOtring Art Pen 1.1 with Diamine Lavender (converter)

8. Hongdian N23 Year of the Rabbit Black (Blade nib) with Robert Oster Jade (converter)
Other things shown:
My ink journals:
