Chris Saenz | Chris' Inked Pens - March 2022 @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
In this video, I show you the 8 fountain pens and fountain pen inks I chose for March 2022. I will be writing with these 8 pens and will check back in mid-March and let you know how these combinations are working out.
Here is a list of the pens/inks mentioned/shown:
1. Pen BBS 352 with 1.1 Anderson Stub and Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink. Thank you pen friend Ms. T for the pen!
2. Jinhao 159 B JoWo nib and Pilot Iroshizuku Daikokuten 100th Anniversary ink. Thank you pen friend VF for the pen and KS for the ink sample!
3. TWSBI Eco Green Transparent M with Platinum Mixable Leaf Green. Thank you pen friend KS for the ink sample!
4. Opus 88 Omar Yellow B with Colorverse Supernatural
5. Hongdian The Light of the Hope w/Fude nib and Diamine Pansy ink. Thank you pen friend SB for the pen!
6. TWSBI Diamond 580 purple with M nib and Laban Athena Grey ink. Thank you pen friend AW for the pen!
7. Retro 51 Tornado Ultra Violet M Opus nib unit with Aurora Purple (sample either purchased or sent to me ?)
8. TWSBI Mini AL B with Iroshizuku Fuya-gaki ink. Thank you pen friend NR for the ink sample!
My favorite fountain pen and ink combo for February 2022 was: Opus 88 Omar in Purple with Cross Violet ink - thank you to 3 pen friends who sent ink samples of Cross Violet - it has become one of my absolute favorite purple inks!
NOTE: I could not find exact matches for the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine but I came as close as I could with my first 2 inks Noodler's Navajo Turquoise and Pilot Iroshizuku Daikokuten. You can compare hexcode colors and inks over at Ink Swatch for free:

Notebooks mentioned:
CVS Caliber notebook - budget friendly made in Vietnam - fountain pen friendly notebooks!
Peter Pauper Press Unicorn journal (I've had other Peter Pauper Press notebooks that were more fountain pen friendly than this one - this one is somewhat depending on the ink/nib).
