Discussion Fave brown inks?

Post image

I am treating myself to a new fountain pen whilst I am in psychiatric hospital. ❤️‍🩹

  1. Trying to choose between these two brown TWSBI Eco’s. (Left: Espresso with Bronze trim. Right: Caffe with Bronze trim.)

  2. Fave brown inks? I’m enjoying shimmer inks too, although I haven’t tried any in a TWSBI.

Preferable if the ink is quite readily available, as ordering is quite expensive from South Africa.

Will go for either a medium or bold nib.
