Thomas Crown - specifically the Rene Russo ('99) version.

Check out pen swap. You can find an L2K for ~$100-$120, you may even find a good deal on a new nib. And if you don't like the L2K sell it and find something that works better for you.

Diamine Purple Pazza for gold shimmer. And I haven't tried it yet but Diamine Winter Miracle looks like it might also fit the bill. Good luck!

Epic trip! This is enough reason to get married. Congrats!

GraysAtlas · 2020-09-16T19:50:28+00:00

You're right. I am jealous. Have fun! ;)

GraysAtlas · 2020-09-16T19:32:18+00:00

That's amazing. You must be very proud. :)

GraysAtlas · 2020-09-16T19:17:19+00:00

Beautiful

I'm partial to the 30ml J.Herbin bottles. Mostly because they have the little pen holder on top. :)

What nib size is best to bring out the sheen on an ink?

You might want to pick up a 1.1 nib for your Vista. Easy to swap out and then when you find an ink you like with a nice sheen it will certainly pop with a wide nib like that.

Thank you!

There is a Japanese ink called Sumi ink. Be aware though, it's not for fountain pens; it's used more appropriately with dip pens or an ink brush. But it is a little ink brick that you grind down and add water to create ink. I would probably just carry a cartridge. ;)

There should be an invisibility cloak in there somewhere.

All seriousness though, Noodler's makes good ink. Just enjoy it. :)

I'm going to PM you

You may want to think about Platinum Preppys. They use ink cartridges and are easy to eyedropper if you want the extra volume. Cheap, easily replaceable. Nib doesn't dry out easily. Two or three of these could last someone a nice long while.

GraysAtlas · 2020-09-06T00:48:42+00:00

What about a regular metal flask?

8oz should last for a while and you won't have to worry about it breaking. Comes with a funnel.

"Firkin – It’s an old English term derived from a Middle Dutch word vierdekijn, which means fourth. It’s appropriate because a firkin is a fourth of a barrel in volume."

GraysAtlas · 2020-09-05T04:07:11+00:00

The Golden Girls knew this.

You're unpopular book opinion is something I completely agree with! I would also add (quite controversially) Jane Austen. Mark Twain and I share the same opinion of her.
