I posted this a few days ago on Reddit, but thought that I'd post here as well, since I'll be moving away from Reddit for at least the next month for the protest going on about 3rd party apps and the API pricing increase.

I'm glad that I was able to find a community focusing on fountain pens! :D

The paper is 68gsm Tomoe River paper in a Lochby A5 refill.

That's my daily driver! Same colour, same nib. A year on, it's aged really well, too. Hope you like it as much as I do mine! :D

What do you think of the ink? My current favourite to ink this pen is Herbin's Poussière de Lune, but I could use something a tad darker and this one looks like it might be right.

Well, I loved Lamy Dark Lilac enough to buy a scalped bottle of it on eBay when it was $120. :D

It's one of my favorite inks in my collection. I'm just now starting to use it more. My second favorite ink is also a purple one; Diamine Imperial Purple.
