I did not want to purchase a whole bottle and have it turn out that I did not like the ink (which I am glad I didn't because I am STILL not sure how I feel about the Antietam ink, however pretty it is). The ink samples were very reasonable ($1.25 per sample) and It is enough to really allow me to try the ink out. I too prefer thinner lines. I thought a Lamy fine nib would be thin, however I probably could have gone EF and will likely purchase one in the future to try out. The only problem I have had with nibs (from other fountain pens) that are really fine, is that sometimes it feels scratchy or like it snags on the paper. But like you said, Variety is the spice of life :) Having the different options at my hand is nice :)Ashley Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102592843719579895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977840320763315370.post-88618160631231270582014-04-22T17:06:58.369-07:002014-04-22T17:06:58.369-07:00Did you try these out with ink samples from Goulet...Did you try these out with ink samples from Goulet's? Or did you just go for it and buy the bottles? <br /><br />Lamys are such dependable pens. I prefer a thinner line and, since I have tried Japanese pens, even my EF Lamys seem much thicker now. But on paper that really sucks up the ink or with very dry inks, I always reach for the wider nibs. Variety is the spice of life, right? ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.com
