The latest Fountain Pen Focus video is now available for your viewing pleasure.
In this video I am focusing on the HongDian Black Forest fountain pen.
We take a look at the pen and how it writes with Diamine Early Dusk ink.

Reddit's Diamine ink collaboration has settled on a name for this year's color: Lady Grey.

Color sample is in the attached image.
Not my first choice but it's pleasant enough.

I’ve prepared amaranth as part of this evening’s supper. Now I’m in the study messing around with pens while also trying to fix a #fuzzpedal… Honestly, my talents know no bounds I thought my Lamy was a Safari. It’s actually an AL-Star.

Troublemaker Into the Depths
This is a deep midnight blue with dark copper sheen. This kind of sheen is a bit unusual on blues and it's quite striking—this color sheen is usually seen on reds or purples.
I had kind of pegged Troublemaker as a company that makes light multishaders but I guess they have a bit of range as well!
I think this might be good in one of my EF pens.

Picture me, a person who likes #FountainPens, and likes to look at fountain pens for sale online.
I have spent months of my life trying to figure out why in god's name I constantly see listings from Japanese sellers where the title or description includes the word "Snubbull."
Yeah, like the Pokemon.
I finally got entirely fed up and looked up Snubbull's Japanese name.
It's "Buruu." Blue.
THIS ENTIRE TIME THE SELLERS JUST FUCKING MEANT BLUE
What in the Google Translate hell?
