On June 22, 2018 my Dark Lilac Lamy Safari (IF) joined its comrades when it was filled with Diamine 150th Anniversary Purple Dream. The pen was in use for 6 months and was emptied and cleaned on December 26, 2018, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I was given six ink samples for Father’s Day, and today I decided I want to try them all out! I almost chose my purple TWSBI for this ink, but I have a couple of 580s already in rotation, and I’ve been wanting to write with a Safari for while, so here goes!

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

This was an interesting combination. The ink wasn’t my favorite purple, but neither was it bad. If I didn’t have other purples I would be tempted by this one. I feel the nib still needs a bit of work. I realized that this pen was easily overlooked because when in my pen roll I can see naught of it but the clip, and that is less obvious than my other pens.
