I just got both Lamy SE for 2015 and Apache Sunset. Well - I ordered them! Ordered from a Canadian store.
I'm waiting for Goulet to restock the bottles of ink to order.
Somehow I've turned into a bit of a Lamy collector. Fortunately I have an ink for each!

JFK ink by mont blanc and what a perfect blue/black it is. Grabbed a bottle while the anderson pens had it in stock.

I forgot to take pictures of the writing from nearly two weeks ago. I should grab the dip pen and get the two bottles on my desk and provide a better sample of what both inks look like, but it is now 03:45 here, and I should probably go to bed more.
And now I see that I forgot the "d" in "used." Can't fix that on the keyboard!

I got some P.W. Akkerman inks last week, which made me a happy lady. Today, Iroshizuku fuyu-gaki arrived from Japan, and I can't wait to load it into a pen and see how it writes. I'm waiting on Shin-ryoku still.
Used a dip pen to show the two KWZ iron-gall inks. When wet - and even as they're drying - they're very similar, but they are definitely different, as shown in the first photo. The difference should be more discernible in a day or so.

I really do like the EtherX Blue. Too bad about the ghosting (which doesn't appear for a few days at least).

Seemed appropriate.
P.s. Fuyu-gaki is so pretty!
I received some Noodler's Bernanke Blue and Mont Blanc JFK Navy as gifts. I'm very pleased with both.
At the Atlanta Pen Show I picked-up some P.W.Akkermon Groenmarkt Smaragd, a wonderful sort of dark olive green. The swabs I see on the net don't do it justice. It's not too saturated, and a great match for my olive Parker 45. Last week the postman showed up with some (beautiful) Namiki Blue, and some De'Atramentis Ebony. I ordered the Ebony by mistake. Somehow I managed to check the wrong box on the website. Assuming Ebony was black, I was boxing it up to send back, and noticed it is actually a dark brown. I'm kind of short on browns so I opened it and inked up an old Pilot 78g instead. It is a warm, dark, rich brown, and I love it.

I bought a bottle of Yama budo last week but have not cracked it open yet. Don't know which pen to fill it with.
