I write with an original Parker 51 I received as a gift from my father in 1958 and I also use a Lamy. Love both.
Oh I’ll have to try a Parker 51, what type of nib do you have on it? And to receive it as a gift from your father, that’s amazing!!!
That is amazing to keep it so long
Keep up the great content - it’s nice to new people into the hobby !!!!
Thank you for the support 🙏☺️
Lamy is on my list to try - I’ve just used notebook paper and some moleskine like free journals I had lying around to write some. Works well I think.
Definitely give okay a try, I use many for my everyday carry a lot, since it’s inexpensive and never lets me down.
Awesome to see other young guys in the fountain pen hobby. Definitely subscribing!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏. I have a travel channel also “Davion West”. I will start posting more content here in a few months. Currently traveling.
I like that your comparing , Common Mead notebook paper to a top notch brand Rhodia paper.
I bought the amazon; *Lamy Vista FP* ( $45 canadian) in fine nib...
with an ink converter ($20 cad)
and a 4 pack / 20 cartridges in black lamy ink ($25 cad)
Total = *_$90.oo cad_*
didn't care for it, & regifted it to my wife. She luvs it !
Then I Amazon ordered the
*Lamy Safari FP in Matte black* ($50 cad) in medium nib
+ ink converter ($20 cad)...
Total *_$70 canadian_* .
{arriving 2 weeks & 4 days}
You can really , see the differences in your writing , with the Medium to the fine nibs..
It's a good test....looking forward to seeing more Paper & ink tests for your Lamy fountain pen . Happy new Year to you and your Family. Cheers
Thank you and happy New Year. I will start posting again soon, work got busy.
I use cheap note book paper for work, yes it is a boring job but I am hoping to just add a little fun with a fountain pen, most likely will get the med nib with black ink
I just got into fountain pens- but whay grabbed my attention was the channel name "Inkwell Chronicles" which was also the name of a book series I wanted to write in middle school! Fun coincidence, and great review, new sub!
I have the Lamy Safari in mat black. Mine didn’t come with a converter but with cartridges. Im not to crazy about the way it writes and Im hopping that once the z28 converter comes in that this Lamy will write as smooth as yours. Can’t wait for the next video. 👍
Thinking back now, mine didn't either and I had to order a converter. Praying yours does after you get it. Thank you for the support, it really means alot:)
I enjoy your videos. I am watching this one but can't find the shimmer ink you showed that you currently have in your lamy. Will any shimmer ink work?
Bought a pack of these at Pearl Paints before they went out of business right alongside many other storefronts who have fled NYC.
Beautiful channel! Keep posting, please.
Thank you for the kind words 🥰, I will do my best!
I’m gonna try this pen out. Thanks for the video.
No problem bro. No need to buy an expensive pen over hundreds of dollars just to get into using a fountain pen.
@@Inkwellchronicle agreed.
So I go the pen from Amazon today with a fine point and I really enjoy the way it writes. Something I will get for my kids to introduce them to fountain pens for sure. The grooves help with finger placement.
@@PapiGrande51 right! It’s just a sturdy simple pen, not too much not too little. Glad it worked out 💪 for you bro!
Yeah man. Thanks for the recommendation
You sir, gain a new subscriber...
I am a Lamy owner, a charcoal model and a vista model with fine nibs, both of them, they were'nt my first option at first, but, after years... I realized how good this pen is, I've been using it for everything, and, of course I like the classical style of other pens, but, somehow I just felt in love with the minimalistic design of the Lamy at the end... So... I just don't need or want another pen...
But, I need to try the EF neeb... Just for curiousity...
Just bought it and I love it.
It’s definitely a daily work horse for me 💯
As much as I like TWSBI pens I have to say Lamy writes better. Most of Lamy pens are workhorses.
That feat with candles made me smile :)
I’m glad it did :)! I’ve only had a few lamps and Twsbis so I can say for sure which company I think 🤔 writes better yet.
Like your content. Good luck on building your channel.
Thank you for the support 🙏☺️
I have me a lamy tourmaline in medium nib, I actually use it to write really quick. But then I have a kaweco in olive, medium nib I've been drawing and writing with. And a noodlers clear flex nib to draw with my lamy is not getting love, I did get a converter, I think I'm so tired of blue ink, so I need to change it out.
I feel my lamy I'm not as patient because of the easy flow, which is good. But my kaweco collection makes me go into artist mode, maybe it's just me because I rush my cursive.
I really have to try a Kaweco pen, people keep talking about them. When it comes to cursive with me, I do prefer a pen that writes semi dry -wet and is an extra fine so I can get thin lines.
Love your channel…I keep hearing that the LS nibs are hit or miss. But I can’t keep my eyes away from the cream colour so I’ll be getting one soon. I’m a medium nib gal for sure.
Thank you for the kind words. :) Just trying to share my love for pens with others. Discover new things together. Im an extra fine kinda guy but I do appreciate all nibs for what they do.
I am worrying abt the same exact thing, did you end up buying one was it good?
Digging your channel. Keep it up.
Thank you for the support! Just getting started 😈
Thank you for the support! Just getting started 😈
I have decided after many months that I prefer fine nibs lamys as well as with some other brands
Right! I just love the thinner lines🎉
It scares me how similar my handwriting is to yours.
I got a Lamy Safari as well as an Al Star and Vista, which are just variations on it. I am not very impressed by it. The edges on the section has really hard plastic lines and the nibs are not consistent. For the same price you can get far better build quality and better writing experience, e.g. the Pilot Metropolitan, Parker Jotter, Parker Vector, etc. It's not necessarily bad, but I think it underperforms for the fuss. Great channel by the way.
Thank you for you for watching and the kind words. I need to try some more Lamys. Ive heard the same thing from others about the consistency of their nibs.
@@Inkwellchronicle Ironically I just ordered some extra nibs for them. I guess its a love-hate relationship.
I think it's coral red
That is the quality of my cursive at 7 years old.
Thank you 🙏
Ebay knockoffs are $5. Works great.
Will have to try them
do you write stories or poetry?
Normally I write itineraries for my travels, and things I need on my travels and for video scripts haha
@@Inkwellchronicle cool, the reason i asked is because you seem like a writer. maybe you should try it one day? if you ever have questions about how to get started, i can give you some simple projects to get started. free of charge,
@@gristlevonraben Thank you sir, ill probably hit you up around Christmas time. Im about to head too Europe to make more travel videos for my other channel.
@@Inkwellchronicle very cool. may i suggest you write in a journal, snippets of poetic prose, flowery or highly descriptive writing that is insightful and or emotional, for ten minutes every day at cafe's or when waiting on a bus or train or plane? you can describe people, objects, the sky, a storm, a bird song, a child, even a ship. you can add to it imaginary narratives that explore the scene. take for instance, you sit by a fountain on a hot mid day outing. you grab your journal, and start with the seven senses, before writing, start with smells, then sounds, then sights, then how you feel inside, then touch, ie breezes, warmth, cold, sweat, etc, then taste, if you are eating, then energy, the atmosphere of the place, its austerity or lushness, its vibes, its flow, business like or street market like atmosphere, or carnival like, perhaps it is full of sorrow, dread, or fear of war or of government control... let's say you sit down and write, "the plaza was clean but dry, the tall fountain, built upon stone maidens holding water pots, splashed randomly onto the orange pavers under our feet, it almost sizzled. birds, small and blue, flew kamikaze into the founts, drinking drops on the sly, reeling in the joy of flight. how human they are at times, how playful with thier showing off, children see me writing and flash curious smiles at me. i realize, in my sweaty shirt and writer's stance, i have become an outsider, one of the herd, looking back in, examining it, almost judging it, feeling sorry for it, and suddenly, i feel for the first time, the exhilaration of being free, and the odd loneliness of it as well. these children will never know this feeling until they find a way to sit the way i am sitting, i am linked now, with all the old writers, poets, and artists, but can i avoid their bitter revelations, and preachiness, can i add beauty to my art and hearts of those still within the circle? canni enoble them and myself? can i spook them, tease them, enthrall them, entertain them and myself, while loving them or myself? can i stand outside the second circle?
@@gristlevonraben I write poetry, just got info fountain pens 2 weeks ago. I was just thinking of writing my poems on paper to be scanned as the original and keep the typed version. But also I've been sketching or doing abstract. As I learn about the ink and trying to improve my cursive.
Everything I do can be done without lighting a candle.
Big facts! :)
i love you bro. i hope that candle is one of those that doesn't produce smoke cause that shit's toxic. i switched to incense thinking it was healthier but that shit toxic too. a diffuser is better. you'll thank me later.
These days $30 isn't "really inexpensive" anymore when you can pick up multiple pens that write better and come with converters for less than $15.
What's a better pen for $15
@@moemanm1202 There are lots of alternatives from China, India and Japan for less than 15 usd, though not all of them with a converter included.
I don't know why but I don't like this pen.
Dislike for the first statement about lighting candles. Do not force your opinion on your viewers.
lol what a dumb thing to get mad about. Homie hates candles
@@ChanceCooper125 I dont. But him saying ``you cannot start off a fountain pen review... without lighting a candle isn't the right way to put it. I have myself seen many fountain review videos without lighting candles. You cannot force someone or push your opinions down someone else's throat. That, I'm against.
I understand both of yall completely, I should have said for me I can’t start off without lighting one ☺️. Thank you for the comment and keeping me on my toes, both of yall.
@@Inkwellchronicle Thank you for understanding. Keep it up bro!
@@user-fq1jf9di4tgoddamn you suck.
7:17 no you cant. its the same sound hell there isn't even any sound. lmao imagine being OCD about paper
