An interesting colour: it looks ancient somehow. I don't know if I'd ever use it, but it's nice to look at. Reminds me of grandmothers, for some reason.

 

I like the review format very much! And the reference to the other topic was good reading as well.

I really like the way you've done that - it was a fun review to read! Rouille d'Ancre's a colour I enjoy a lot; I'd actually been planning on filling my F VP with it when the Diamine Handel that's in there runs out (which will probably happen later this week).

Nice colour but a tad on the pale side for me. So, hey-ho!

Well, I added a little more red... R&K Morinda ... and I like this shade a little better. It's still washed out. I've changed the ink the 700 to Organics Studio Mercury red, but here was the last version.

I inked up an empty pen with Rouille d'Ancre after dinner, largely on the strength of your review (I had a bottle I hadn't touched in ages); and I've spent the whole evening copying out poems and practising my handwriting. I am meant to be packing for a work trip. It's a wonderful form of procrastination.

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately the color evokes the color of an old ladies slip. ;)

I really like the "style" of your review.

 

Be well.

I like the subtlety of the color. It is definitely worth using with a broad FP nib or possibly a C-2 or 3 dip pen nib.

Interesting how many reference this ink to grandmothers. The translation of the name is rust of anchor (my free translator app; apologies to those who speak and know French).

I was surprised and it isn't limited to your review. This is one ink with a like it or don't split. Maybe I should get samples of J Herbin inks to try. I think this one has possibilities.

That's an interesting observation.

 

 

One of my Grandmothers could have been accurately described as "rust from an anchor;" she was a great proponent of standing firm in her resolve to have things to suit her. She would have been happy to have been remembered as ruling with an iron will; I believe there was a bit of rust in her anchor for having stood firmly in place.

Sounds like she was a wonderful woman.

Now I can get behind the grandmother reference! I talked my brother into buying a bottle when he was going to get a Herbin color he'd never have considered before. At the time I thought the ink would tend to coral.

 

Edited to add I was thinking this ink could pair well with a Lamy LX Rose Gold pen.

Thank you for the great review Amberlea!

 

 

I think the grand mother's references come from the fact that this color is the same as Mrs Doubtfire's stockings.

 

That color, a sort of rosy beige is associated with old fashioned grand-motherly looks.

 

Did anyone see the Lamy Rose Gold Lx in person?

 

Is it more Rouille d'Anchre or Bouquet d'Antant? I am trying to gauge the warmth of the color.

 

 

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

      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
