Loke Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hi everyone, After enjoying the forum for months as a visitor, I decided to join the band,drop in and say hello! I always liked fountain pen but for some reason only recently started using them again. Over this past year, I'd say I additionally developed an acute addiction to inks... it's like there is always a need... already have a nice collection of bottles and samples but there's always a new ink that looks particularly appealing and that I feel the need to try... sounds like an addition doesn't it? 🙂 And I think it is going worse... I now feel the need to try and mix some of them together... ah... forgot to mention, I am a chemist. ⚗️ In terms of tools, I mostly use a blue FPR UltraFlex Himalaya v2 inked with OS-Nitrogen to fulfills my sheen needs (amazing combo, this pen is a gem and really affordable - the ebonite feed provides such a nice wet flow to the smooth nib), a Falcon FA inked with Noodler's Black Swan and a Sailor pro-gear M inked with Sailor's Yamadori for my shading needs (both really great pens), a micro-knurl black Cross Century II M inked with Aurora's black and a Kaweco Perkeo inked with R&R Verdigris for everyday's work. I also have 2 Lamy Joy and 2 pilot parallel pen for more artistic needs. On my test list are: diamine November rain and Monteverde Copper Noir for which I have a new orange FPR Himalaya that is just arrived! As for paper, I mostly use Rhodia notepad for work stuff and treat myself to some Tomoe River paper which is my favorite even if I would prefer something a bit more thick. Recently tested Clairefontaine Notepad Triomphe which seems nice as well. Thanks for having me! Loke Link to post Share on other sites
