When I write with Noodler's Army Green next to my JH Coffee in my Eccolo journal, it makes the latter look almost like a salted sakura petal color.

 

Darker lines look sort of similar to PR's Avocado, but then again, I haven't used that one in a while. (I prefer lighter colors)

 

Nib: Nakaya fine soft-flex.

 

I designed the letter "N" on this review.

Hana, your writing is beautiful and you have inspired me to give Army Green a try with a flexible nib. It looks lovely in your examples.

What pens have power ink feeds with turbos to supply enough ink for that style of writing?

 

Honestly, nice writing. The wild "N" is a trophy letter. Thanks for showing.

I'm trying out some NAG and it's a little flat for me--but it's much nicer in your flex nib.

Isn't sanity really a one-trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy . . . ooh hoo hoo hoo! . . . the sky's the limit!

It's actually easier for me to do this type of writing (using FP inks) with a fountain pen than a dip-pen. With a dip-ink, I sometimes run out of ink mid-flourishing! Very frustrating.

 

I used my Nakaya with the goldfish converter for this. It doesn't hold much ink at all--which is actually perfect for me, because I like changing ink colors every other day or so. (But it does hold much more than a dip-pen without gushing out all over the place!)

I think I like lighter colors because I can see more variations with a flex. I don't think I got quite why before your comment. Thank you for the revelation!

Oooooo! Kingyo converter :drool:

 

Can you tell me exactly what kind of nib you got from Nakaya? Maybe someday I might have enough money saved up to get one :)

I think I got the extra fine soft flex, but they also ground it to suit my writing till I was satisfied.. So I'm not quite sure what it's called. "Hana-flex"? lol.

 

I think it's very much worth visiting in person. They may give you a few surprises!

A Nakaya is next on my list. The saving is very painful. ;) I adore the goldfish converter. You are making me realize that I must absolutely get one.

 

I have a nice little vintage flex that I bought from Griz, I am going to load it up with some Army Green. It will not look as fine as your work, but it will be fun to play with!

That's about the prettiest ink review I've ever seen. ;) Looks pretty similar to the Alt-Goldgrun I just got, to my eye...

Wow! This ink was just made for flex nibs, what a beautiful example! Your "N" design is wonderful, as is the rest of your writing. Hope you'll continue to do ink reviews. :)

 

Best, Ann

I've seen Alt Goldgrun on the computer screen, too, and it does look like this color--on the computer screen. I've not compared them IRL, so.. who knows?

 

And thank you for your compliment.

Oh, I admire your calligraphy so much! So even, so refined!

 

I noticed it was your birthday more than a week ago, but I was too new (to the forum) and shy to wish you a happy birthday-- So happy belated birthday!

 

Thank you for your comments!

Alt Gold-gruen is less saturated than the inks I've become accustomed to seeing from Noodlers. It's a fairly light ink.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
