Congratulations. I am glad you hadn't "bought the farm".

 

Serenity Blue is a great ink.

(Still) Lamy 2000 medium with Lamy Black (topped the ink).

 

I understand why it's called a workhorse and too much pen for the money. BTW, why not did any of you warned me that macrolon is magnetic? I can't put it down.

 

 

Serenity Blue is a great ink.

 

Waterman's Lamy's and Pelikan's blues are all great. I'm still behind my words in "In Praise of Boring Inks".

Today my Lamy is an Olivine Studio loaded with Edelstein Aventurine, which is being used in a Traveler's Notebook No. 18 Calendar.

 

I am also by chance carrying a red/white/blue Safari filled with Lamy Turquoise, but I don't expect to put it into action today, unless I need to highlight, edit, or comment on something in non-electronic form, which is unlikely.

Today I am using the LAMY 2000 ‘F’ that I bought during the ‘Black Friday’ discount period.

It is inked with Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite.

Yesterday and today it's been the Safari Violet, B nib, with an accidental mix of Birmingham Waterfront Dusk in the pen which was then refilled with Birmingham Walnut Street Brown (that will teach me not to try to refill pens when I'm that tired.... :headsmack:

This is amazing – there must be some special position of the planets above us, or something, that affected us pen nuts. Yesterday I mixed Pelikan Edelstein Sapphire and Pelikan Edelstein Smokey Quartz, and then I wrote some really crazy stuff that I don't understand now…

 

BTW, a Lamy 2000 EF.

In current use: Cleo Skribent Classic, Waterman Expert, Diplomat Excellence, Pineider Avatar, Sheaffer Targa (the good old Sheaffer, not one Made in China)

Hmmm.  I don't have Edelstein Sapphire, but I absolutely adore Smoky Quartz.  The result I was getting (since it was only a little of the Waterfront Dusk -- the older more blue-purple version) was a sepia that leaned a little on the purplish side (the straight old-formula Waterfront Dusk is more of a blue purple, which is reminding me of one of the Robert Oster purples but I can't remember which.  So, until I can flush the mix out of the Safari and then refill with undiluted Waterfront Dusk, I won't really be able to go through my testing notebooks to compare.  

And it might not be a RO ink at all, but something from KWZI or something....

Of course I'm now starting to wonder what the results would be if I mixed Edelstein Tanzanite with Smoky Quartz....

lamy safari red with 1.5 italic. I bought it from a member here, and have been enjoying it since I received it a few months ago.

My new Lamy 2000 that I bought before the hiatus. It got sent to J. Sorowka who turned the BB into an amazing CI. Haven't stopped refilling it since it arived.

Today has been both the Al Star Pacific  1.1 inked with Diamine Classic Red (Christmas card duty) and the 2000 (F) that arrived on Monday.  It is inked with Lamy Petrol.

Today, I am rocking my Lamy 99 with M nib and Diamine Registrar's ink. I'd forgotten how dry it is.
