Iroshizuku Ajisai (Hydrangea)... thanks to a broken Visconti bought on eBay. :(

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem,

see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Kung te cheng. My goal is to use the whole bottle by the end of the year. That's my goal every year, though...

WOW that's a lot of writing!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Diamine Majestic Blue - and my hands needed lots of scrubbing as I didn't insert the converter properly before attempting to fill the pen - not good!

My hands look like Christmas. Diamine Green-Black and Diamine Red Dragon, the latter of which keeps making me think I'm bleeding every time I catch my fingers out of the corner of my eye.

I have about half the colors in the Lamy and Herbin ink brands on my fingers thanks to the testing table at the DC show.

Diamine Ancient Copper, from a sample pack when I bought my first batch of ink. I have 2nd batch of ink on the way, which includes Ancient Copper.

 

It is different but not too in your face.

J Herbin Encre Violette and Platinum Black. I'm going for the "church" look.

Is Encre Violette you mention the same as Violette Pensee and if not, what's the difference?

Thanks in advance.

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
