How Do Lamy Blue And Noodler's Bullet Proof Black Compare In Terms Of Wetness?

[Snoutmol]

This might seem like a really random question. I recently had the opportunity to dip test a Lamy 2000 fine, and I wrote - in Lamy blue ink - onto some absorbent paper right next to something I had written with my Lamy Safari fine - in Noodler's bullet proof black. So that's why I ask this question - to compare the writing of the two pens, even though I used two different inks.

Okay, so we have the same paper and the same nib width, but two inks and two pens.

 

Have you used these pens otherwise? Is one a wetter writer? (I'd guess the Safari to be a wetter writer, but I haven't tested your pens). Also, if you have ever tested the same ink in both pens then you know how wide they each write with the same ink. Wetness is the flow of the ink through the pen. I've found Noodler's bullet proof black to be wetter than Lamy Blue, but I've only used them each a handful of times.

Thanks, I bought the Lamy 2000 already though, and it's a little dryer than the Safari. Is that common: the Safari is generally wetter than the 2000?

It really depends on the pen for overall wetness think in general the lammy 2k is the wetter writer but you can always tweak it around so it writes how you like

See, that's what makes FPs an art and not a science, my Safaris have been wetter writers than the 2000s that I've tried.
