I’ve always loved writing with fountain pens, “collected” mostly Lamy Safaris and AL-Stars and mainly used standard inks. There were a few stationery shops around and my ink (bottle) “exploration” started with De Atramentis, Lamy and Pelikan inks. Then came a pandemic and I ventured deeper into all things fountain pens and fountain pen inks and paper. I now have way more inks than fountain pens, because most of the fountain pens out there are in-your-face colorful and I’m more attracted/attached to muted colors - except for Lamy Safaris and AL-Stars. I live and love to put all kinds of colorful inks into my pens!
For now I want to enjoy the fountain pens and inks that I have and explore their properties.
