Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

I received a new pen and sample inks from Goulet. I bought a few reds and browns, and then got a bonus random sample pack for free, so I have a lot to choose from at the moment. I also bought an inexpensive dip pen to try out all these inks in my work notebook.

The new pen is a TWSBI ECO Stub. I filled it with Lamy Topaz and have been experimenting with both the color and the stub.

Very nice! I have a ton of ink samples at work in one of those ink sample trays - I bought one on Amazon instead of the Goulet branded one on their sire for less $$. The look I got when and Assistant Principal came into my office and saw all of those vials... priceless lolol!

Stubs are fun nibs too - if you get some ink with shimmer, the wider nibs will really show it off. I have a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR with a broan nib that really lays down some ink!
