That was fast.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

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

Already out of stock on Goulet!

 

No, I don't think they have it in stock yet (their regular newsletter arrived this morning Aus time) - they have it listed on their website and designated 'out of stock' so you can sign up to be notified when it arrives.

Nope, as I understand it, today they opened it up for sales and then sold out within a few hours.

I stand corrected - just confirmed that detail on their Facebook page. They do still have sample vials available though (unless those have sold out too now!), and hope to get more stock in before the end of the month. Haven't seen any Australian stores stocking this yet - but that's not exactly unusual... :(

curse of popularity...guess I'll wait a few months.

I was there on the site in time, but after I did the math, I realized I could almost get 2bottles for that price if I wait for the UK retailers to stock. The Writing Desk said they'll have it in two weeks or so.

Well, I am looking forward even more to my trip to Paris the week after next now.

Erm . . . I only like the splash.

The glittery sheen on the written line reminds me of my daughter's cheapo glitter gel pens.

 

Sorry people :(

Saw a sample in person today and it does remind me of glittery nail polish. The gray color actually looks closer to black under light.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

:D It's OK, Tas. Different inks for different people. Then there is more for us. :)

 

For me this one is an ink for Christmas (like the red one) and for invitations and such things. Very much on-purpose. Great for addressing the envelope of a child's birthday invitation.

 

I did take it into the office one day and it just felt ... odd with all that glitter.

I got my bottle yesterday, and inked a pen with a cursive italics nib this morning. I don't see any sheen at all. It just looks like gray ink. It's nice gray ink, but I was pretty excited about making boring notes less, well, boring. In the bottle, it looks like the entire bottom is covered in a layer of gold. Do I just need to shake it before I fill my pens, maybe?

Don't believe everything you think.

Absolutely! Needs big vigorous shake.

So does this mean that if you want to subdue the glittery effect for regular office writing, then you are okay if you don't shake the bottle? The comments above about a glittery gell pen don't work for me, but the colour of this ink and the water resistence really appeal to me for everyday writing.

You'll get to the glitter eventually, of course. Have you considered Montblanc permanent grey as an option?

      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
