In this video I show and talk about how the 11 fountain pens and inks I'm writing with this month! I have had the fun of exploring a sample of Lamy Dark Lilac 2024 thanks to pen friend Marilyn!
Part of this video is my comparison of Lamy Dark Lilac 2016 with Lamy Dark Lilac 2024. It is by no means a complete comparison review but it's a beginning as to seeing some of the differences and unique beauty in each ink!
Here is a list of the pens and inks talked about:
1. Pelikan M800 F - Sailor 50 State Illinois (pen and ink from pen friend M.S.)
2. Hongdian Forest Rainbow Fude with Birmingham Violet Sea Snail (ink sample from pen friend C.S.)
3. Jinhao X750 purple B Jowo with Vanness Hissy Fit
4. Lamy Safari Dark Lilac pen 1.1 nib with Diamine Pansy ink
5. Lamy Vista B with Sailor 50 States Vermont
6. Lamy Al-Star Bronze B with Birmingham Sugar Kelp (ink sample from pen friend C.S.)
7. TWSBI Eco Jade B with Diamine Sherwood Green
8. TWSBI Eco Cerelean Blue B with TWSBI Sky Blue
9. Lamy Vista F (old pen) with J Herbin Amethyste de l'Ourel
10. Lamy Safari Candy Purple 1.1 with Lamy Dark Lilac 2016 (sample from pen friend M.W.)
