This is a very original way of exploring your inks! Thank you for the video. It’s fun!! ❤

What a creative and fun way to play with your pens.

I love hope Pink. After 2 samples, I bought a bottle. You’ll never finish King Philip. Happy Anniversary!

I just bought it myself. I got a sample pack from Goulet pens and bought Hope Pink and Black Swan Austalian Rose (Noodlers.)

Hi Kathy -- I do still have a little King Philip ink ... I believe one 30 ml bottle and 1 sample for passing along and my own little bottle. It's so stainy that I am now leery of it. :)

I appreciate you so much for doing these videos it really keeps me interested in the hobby its like one of the favorite parts of my momth when you do Chris's inked pens I feel like sometimes I do so many reviews people get tired of seeing my mug for a while but then there are days where people come and hang out in the chat which I appreciate so much.. I hope youre feeling better the heat got to me today for sure it was 85 today here in so cal and it was a nightmare the aircon was barely keeping up on full blast I worry for those who have elder conditioners that are gonna crap out and the electrical systems crapping out I hope that people are smart and if they have a broken aircon go to the mall go to the library go somewhere where its cool even if you just go shopping for a while some of those stores have nice aircon and if you feel like your gonna have heat stroke go to the hospital they have aircon and generators they dont need the grid so Be safe out there I look forward to seeing your letter very soon

The colors is EXACTLY why I got into fountain pens!!!! I used Papermate!! The G2’s as well!

Hi Elaine -- it's so wonderful to be able to have almost unlimited ink color choices!!!!! :)

I too had a gel pen period for years but fountain pens have taken over. My fave gel pen color dupe is diamine hope pink. Such a brain stimulating hit pink!

Hi @kellyandthehorses2877 -- it's so nice isn't it .... being able to refill the pens so easily and switch inks .... having so many choices of color will keep me forever with fountain pens. We have only a few stragglers and most of the gels pens left my husband has put black ink into them. LOL

Hi @MarcellHobbs -- Thank you and Happy Anniversary to you all too! It's amazing how much life has changed in terms of how we get the simplest things these days! :) I never thought I'd order small stationery things online ... but I've embraced it totally in the past 7+ years.

Hi Chris. You got me thinking about my pens before before fountain pens. I loved Energel and still do. Yep. I still use them. Before fountain pens, my favorites were the brown, black, red, teal, violet, and navy blue. In the last few years they've come out with new inks: Sepia, Forest Green, Lilac & Grey. I preferred getting the ink refills and putting them in the nice alloy pens. There's also a metal one that caps and I think that one is still selling on Amazon. These pens still work for me when doing home office work. I can't be bothered trying to remember to cap my fountain pen every time I put it down when working. really like how you went down memory lane to recreate those colors.

Hi @Calcprof

Hi Chris- Thamk you for the video and a very Happy Anniversary! Best regards!

Glad your back from your 24hr. bug. Wow, 9 TWSBI Ecos, how many letters do you write a month? I thought I was extravagant with one Eco and a beautiful Jaipur V2 from Fountain Pen Revolution. I'll add Faber Castell Stone Grey ink to my wish list. Thanks for your guidance.

Hi @honnony -- oh these 9 are just for my notetaking and journals mainly ... I'm inking 6 broad nibs for July letter writing. :) I expect these 9 will run lots longer than July though and I'll see which colors I missed .... I already wish I had inked a brown ink. :)

Until recently I had a similar setup, with 8 of my Beginner pens filled with my 8 basic colors, primary, secondary, brown and black, in a little pouch. I filled a sketchbook with drawings using two at a time. Took FOREVER. Now I want to keep fewer pens inked, and I'm switching over to some nicer pens, Sailors and Franklins-Christoph. So now of course I see that I have NINE pens inked, how did that happen?

Hi Ichiro - I go back and forth between being real careful about too many pens being inked at once to being very over inked which is what July will be with 15 lol but it's okay. I write a lot and will carry the TWSBIs much longer than July to finish them. :)

It sounds like you had the Noro virus. 🤢 nasty little bug that lasts about 48 hours and it’s over but it makes you feel like death warmed over until it’s gone. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I love your videos.

😮 ballpoints are evil. 😪
