What Lamy Are You Using Today?

[a m a r g o]

Two of my Lamy 2000's, EF and F nib...

2000 stainless steel with a wonderfully juicy and expressive factory OB, inked with Private Reserve Avocado, which benefits from the shading capabilities of this nib.

None! :sob:

 

The third ran out of ink yesterday. All of them must wait while I try some other recent purchases. They will be back.

Well known problem if you get many pens and are a user, not "collectionneur"

Or ... even while walking around with the delusion that you're still normal, you walk over to the courthouse in shorts, sandals, a Hemingway beard, and a beat-up briefcase with ... 20 fountain pens, 2 rollerballs for lay people to sign contracts, a G2 gel pen for clients who need to write with handcuffs on, and a mechanical pencil for the occasional Scantron sheet. Hmmmm, probably mild for a psychotic break. Oh well ....

 

I've been pleasantly surprised the last few days with how Organics Studio Cobalt has been looking when laid down by my Lamy Vista with a 1.1 mm italic nib. I actually didn't like the ink when I got it. Seemed washed out and sooooo pale to me. So it sat unused for a couple years. For no good reason, I inked up the Vista with it. I really like it now.

 

Sometimes I feel like I could throw mud into the Vista's converter and still like the output. What a nifty pen!

I am using a Lamy Al-Star with a medium nib. My ink today is R&K Salix.

Same as every day. 2000 with F nib. There have been very, very few days since I got this pen that I haven't carried it.

 

Currently inked with Iroshizuki Asa Gao.

Nice. Should these black spots on the blue one be there?

Lamy 2000 with a medium nib. Some type of blue ink that I can't remember what it is.

Using my usual Safari Vista, changed the ink to Cross brand blue, and the paper here is a Silvine Perfecto notebook.

Today I used my Lamy Safari Charcoal, fine nib, with a blue Lamy ink cartridge. I've gone to converters on a lot of my Lamy Safaris, but since this was my first fountain pen, I use cartridges out of sentimentality.

I have Studio Imperial Blue in EF nib today inked with Private Reserve electric dc blue and brought in to rotation. It's writing with a hint of feedback that I am loving.

Just got my (New) Lamy 2000 F nib in the mail today so I am trying it out with Sheaffer Black ink...but will certainly be looking to try others out!
