I think you should try the Lamy blue-black. It has similar color and properties, the ink bottle is more functional and it should be cheaper then Benitoite. PS. From the Crystal series I like the Azurite the most.
Got a sample of Lamy Obsidian. Tried it it my Eco. The best word to describe it is Smooth. Fun to write with on Rhodia paper. Very new to fountain pens so take that into consideration. Easy to clean too. The only document ink I’ve tried so far was a sample of De Atrametis in blue black. Put it in the VR 700 so hopefully it will clean easily as well. Thanks for the review. Tell your dad I said awesome gift. ❤
I just wandered across your channel. Excellent review. I have a sample of Benitoite and loved it; now I need to buy a bottle. And thank you for the correct pronunciation. I would love to see more of the pen box you showed early in the video. It looks very interesting, and I just want to know what's under the tray(s). 😃 (I'm also a hobbyist woodworker, along with FP enthusiast, so the box jumped out at me).
Thanks for watching! I'd love to share more of that pen box, though as far as I know they aren't widely available. My dad found it in a local fountain pen shop, and it's unbranded. But maybe I'll do a broader video about fountain pen storage and include my pen box.
I really like how you use your writing sample to bring up interesting ideas. The ink looks nice. I haven’t tried it, but I like grayish blues better than bright blues.

Thanks! I actually just got a partially used bottle of Lamy Obsidian. It's great! I love the sheen it has.

Platinum Blue-Black is my goto water resistant ink in this colour group yet reasonable in price.
Thanks for the ink recommendation!

Thanks Sara!
As soon as you said 54th mass without the issues … I was interested
Haha yeah. They are definitely different, but for me, Lamy Benitoite scratches the same itch as 54th Mass.
3:17 the nib and feed are easy to remove on the eco, and then you can syringe fill it from there 👌🏼
Azurite is beautiful.
I got my first bottle of lamy ink, turquoise and... disappointed in the performance! I love Salix! Thanks for sharing this ink!
A good and simple ink review without being superfluous.
I have not understood the brand of your fountain pen, could you tell it to me again, thanks 😊
That pen is a TWSBI Eco. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!
Thanks Collin!
