1. Mix of 2 parts Namiki Blue to 1 part Noodler's Midway Blue

2. J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Ocean

3. Waterman Purple

4. Noodler's Blue

5. Montblanc Royal Blue

 

Honorable mentions and nit-picky reasons why they're not in my top 5:

Noodler's Nikita (dulls somewhat when dry)

Noodler's #41 Brown (more starting issues after a few days than the top 5 inks)

Noodler's Black (more starting issues after a few days than the top 5 inks)

Waterman Blue (solid, and nice color, but somewhat lackluster)

Noodler's North African Violet (hard to clean out of pens)

I know my id is "mhosea", but you can call me Mike. It's an old Unix thing.

Yes....some Noodler's won't flush that well but they are awesome.

Waterman purplr is a lovely color.....the last years i emptied 4 of them....it was always a tie with Waterman Turquoise but when i started to use other brands......i found so many new colours.........

I've had a sample of Saffron once but i can't find it in shops anymore.

It's a very nice colour.

      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
