You don't sound like a newbie. You're doing fine. Every fountain pen collection has to have at least one Lamy Safari. I have three ...so far. Eventually, you should try piston and vacuum fillers. You have to dip the pen in the ink bottle with them. Syringes are essential for eye dropper pens. The advantage to these three types is that your pen can hold more ink. I look forward to more of your videos.
For black inks, I would suggest Platinum Carbon Black. It’s a pigmented ink, so it’s inky black and highly water resistant. Welcome to the fountain pen addic-I mean “hobby”.
What a coincidence. I feel down the rabbit hole less than a month ago and just got my first Lamy two days ago as well. Also in a medium point. I found it in gold and couldn’t resist! It’s the ink that got me though. I love the shading inks and ink swatching. ❤
@@dianalovestoplan self control is not my strong suit at all. Though Barnes and Nobel had a kaweco sport today and I was able to not buy it….idk how I walked away, but I’m glad I did bcs they are cheaper on Amazon. lol
A few corrections :)
- I kept saying point instead of nib
- My Black Archive Ink is definitely Wet versus Dry.
I’m slowly learning!

Thank you! I already want another safari and I am eyeing vacuum fillers …they look so interesting! Thanks for visiting.

Thank you! Placing an order tomorrow for ink samples and going to add this one. Thanks for taking the time to watch :)

We are twinsies!!! 😂 It’s so hard not to buy all the pens now and all the inks! I’m trying hard to control myself - haha.

The nibs are replaceable. So you can buy just the nib.
Good to know so I can get a smaller nib for it now. Thank you.
