Noodler's Blue Nose Bear Ink Review

Noodler's Black Ink Review

This ink is more commonly referred to as Noodler's Bulletproof Black, but the official name is simply Noodler's Black.

Platinum Mix-Free Super Sampler

I have purposely avoided mixing inks up until this point because I knew I would be falling down a rabbit hole, never to be seen again! But, now that these inks are here, it's time to give in and just have some fun sloshing some ink around!

Lamy/Platinum Converter Swap?

I've been asked a few times before about whether Lamy and Platinum converters are swappable, and I hadn't really thought about it before. Are they? Yes and no...

Changing Out Edison Nibs
