Fountain Pen Secret Santa (green tier) gift arrived today, lots of great stuff! A Faber-Castell Essentio (EF), a Moleskine notebook (lined), a Faber-Castell notebook (grid), and a bunch of new-to-me ink samples. Some from brands or series I haven't tried yet.

If i wasn't neck-deep in a huge Lego build, I'd swatch the inks. For now, I loaded the pen with Taccia Murasaki.
