Over on my Instagram (and my Facebook) I’m doing mini reviews every week or so. These a smaller and slightly less detailed ink reviews compared to what I do here. Make sure to follow one of those if you want to keep up with them! Here’s what I’ve reviewed so far (there’s meant to be a loose gradient).
Articles I’ve read:
True grails (UK Fountain Pens) ✑ Anthony brings up a topic I feel somewhat strongly about and I completely agree with his definition of grail!
review: robert oster signature bronze and review: robert oster signature khaki (inksharks) ✑ Some great reviews of some similar Robert Oster inks!
Introducing Eureka fountain pens from South Korea (UK Fountain Pens) ✑ Silver nibbed fountain pen nibs! Fascinating!
Ink Review: Vanness Pens/Joey Feldman “Inktober” and “Good Evening” (The Gentleman Stationer) ✑ Inktober is an interesting dark grey!
A Classic of Luxury and Status: The Montblanc Meisterstuck “149” – Part I (Throughout History) ✑ a thorough writeup on the famous Montblanc Meisterstuck (and just part 1)!
The Best Value Buys in Fountain Pens in 2019 (The Gentleman Stationer) ✑ I can’t say I disagree with this ‘list’ (it’s more thought out a general ‘list’ post)!
