^^ Yeah, morgothaod. That’s part of the fun - there’s a ton of different ink brands and colors to try.
I’ve been using fountain pens since the 4th grade. I started with a no-name fountain pen I found at the base exchange on the military base where my folks were stationed - it took standard cartridges and I realized pretty quickly that I could reuse the cartridges and fill them with ink drawn from a bottle with a syringe. Now that I’m older I tend to use 1930s Sheaffer Balances and I carry a Lamy 2000 with me everywhere.
Nice reviews Davion!
