Looks a lot nicer than dirt to me :) And your writing is beautiful.

Life's too short to use crappy pens.  -carlos.q

Did you dilute the ink mixes at all? I did end up mixing my Syo-ro and Yama-budo as well, and the lines are much darker than yours. Then again, I used a fine dip nib instead of a glass or fountain pen, so that may have made the difference in line appearance.

Very minor dilution when I rinsed out my mixing beaker and eye dropper. I don't think that there was enough water to make a difference though. Chalk it up to the glass pen.

Definitely the nibs, haha! The 1:1 ratio looks really nice, and mine is still sitting in my mixing jar as well. But it's probably going to be put in my Plumix soon!

 

Can't wait to see you experiment with the Yu-yake! It's so gorgeous, and that shading is amazing.

These are wonderful!

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

      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
