I have a problem. I am getting into fountain pens… for real this time

I bought my first Lamy Safari about 2 years ago. Used it for a month or 2 and wasn’t impressed. I think mostly because of the medium nib and the terrible paper I was using at the time (that recycled, soy ink paper that’s great for pencil but terrible for any kind of pen). I gave that Safari away to my mother, who might I add is apparently where I get these interests from. However, I kept the converter, which will be important later.

Maybe 3-4 months ago I bought one of those cheap Moleskin-Kaweco FP’s in Barnes and noble because it was on sale. I used it for all of 10 minutes before putting it away and eventually also giving it to my mother. I enjoyed the Kaweco more, leading to my research into the company’s offerings. Then I found it.

3 months ago I bought my Kaweco Lilliput in steel with a fine nib. And how fine it is. I carried it for a month straight until school started and I decided to go back to carrying a ball point in my pocket, still swapping out when I had the feeling. Then I bought a Lamy Al-Star with a fine nib to be my note taking pen for class. I bought some black ink with it and that worked great… until yesterday.

Yesterday in the middle of class my ink ran out. I was completely out of black ink. That leads to where the problem occurs. I remembered I gave that covered and started looking last night into a bottle of ink, because I was told that in the long run it’s cheaper that buying cartridges. I couldn’t decide on a bottle, so I bought both; and my friend told me about Goulet’s offer of free samples for signing up to their mailing list.

Soooo. I’ve got a bottle of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Diamine Writer’s Blood, and whatever comes in that sample pack on the way. And now I’m thinking Kaweco Sports look way more attractive than they did 2 weeks ago.

TLDR: I ran out of ink and now I have a problem. Send help… or ink if it’s truly too late.

Sorry for the long post you guys. Guess I need to start sitting down and journaling again too😂😂
