Love that ink. I’ll have to try it. I have a bottle of Noodlers and I’ve found that it’s in the thin side. My pens tend to leak. Anyone else experience this?

Ooh I haven’t tried the Noodlers but my fountain pen used to leak a tiny bit with the default ink it came with! Haven’t had the issue with the Lennon Toolbar 🤞

Gorgeous grey! I have too many inks at the moment, but will have to keep it in mind.

Btw have you seen Ashlyn Asantees substack series on fountain pens? It's awesome.

Yeah, it's an awesome 4 part series. It totally kickstarted my current kick with pen and ink sketching.

Ooh I’m gonna go get this ink!!! I’ve been looking for another water resistant ink to try out! I’ve been using the platinum carbon but it takes a while to dry and it’s super duper black and thick

I also love thicker lines that you get with ink. I have never tried this ink though, will keep my eye for it, thanks for sharing.

Lovely! Do you think the kakimori nib is worth the hype and elevated price tag?

Ooh great question! It’s a really fun pen to try, but don’t think it’s a must have necessarily. Definitely my favorite dip pen I’ve used though!
