Mike M.’s Loadout

Mike’s Description (Top to Bottom):
- The Lamy had this Omas ink in it, but I didn’t care for it, and it’s already been switched to Diamine Merlot. (Which I also don’t really care for.)
- The VFM is new to me. I’ve gotten them as starter-pens for some people, but I never had my own. AndersonPens had free shipping for a while, so I got one. I wasn’t sure if I was going to give it away or keep it, so it stayed in the box until I gave in and started using it. That Ebony Brown ink is good stuff.
- The Artista with Cacao du Bresil is fantastic. My wife got both for me for xmas, and this is a great combo.
- Everyone knows about the Metropolitan, but the Mont Blanc Balzac is pretty awesome. It’s super-bright.
- The Franklin-Christoph is filled with one of the best greens that I’ve ever used. It was my xmas card ink, and I just keep using it. I might buy a full bottle of this stuff.
Favorite Combo:
The Artista with the J. Herbin ink is the favorite right now, but that might just be due to it being the newest of the bunch.
Least Favorite Combo:
The Omas ink is weak sauce. I know the pen is a good one, but that ink is seriously lacking.
Editor’s Note:
Nice vibrant loadout! I really need to get my hands on a Lamy Nexx, perhaps in my next order. I just got rid of my FC27, it just wasn’t doing it for me, but that blue with the silver cap looks awesome. Thanks for submitting your loadout!
