Organics Studio Foggy Bottom

Recommended Posts

Bought this one because I love cuttlefish. I was hoping for a little more shading, or perhaps a yellow component. It DOES shade, just not the way I was hoping. i'm liking it more with use, but i'm not totally in love with it. It dries pretty slowly.

Cool. Thank you.

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

I like the color but this ink has awful properties - it caused nib creep in all the pens that I had filled with it. Quite good pens. I would say it's worst OS ink I've tried when it comes to its behaviour and lack of good manners ;)

anything other than nib creep that bugs you? I hadn't noticed the nib creep but I tend not to care about it.

 

It is a bit too slow to dry and so it gets all smudgy even after it seems mostly dry...

 

Still like it but don't use it often

Foggy Bottom is my most unliked ink. I just really don't care for the color. Thought I would like it from the swatch online, but ultimately found it to be a most unpleasant shade as well as a slow drying ink that looks smudgy even when you don't smudge it.

 

In fact, I've tried to trade away my mostly filled bottle on this forum on several occasions.

 

Any other cuttlefish lovers out there, I have a bottle for you...

Thank you for the review. :thumbup:

 

I don't know why, but when I see the name Foggy Bottom, I imagine a wonderfully shaded grey.

I came into this thread expecting the same thing. :) The first image that came into my mind was of the fog rolling in off the river at night. I grew up in the D.C. area so I knew the reference.

thanks for the review

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

      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
