Sailor Bung Box Nostalgia

A very short review of this ink.

post-113900-0-39307400-1425623506_thumb.jpg

 

It's a decent brown. I don't usually like brown inks, but I find this one nice and calming. Plus it has a beautiful name. It also has some water-resistence.

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been waffling on it for a long time, but since I don't generally like browns, I'v always given it a pass. With a closer look thanks to your review, I now know for sure that although it's nice, I wouldn't like it or use it myself. I appreciate you saving me $40!

I do love browns and sepia and love my Nostalgia.

Next year is so far away! :crybaby:

 

Also, are all the Bungbox inks like that, sold only by the dozen?

Nope... most are sold individually, but some are "seasonal".. Meaning, they are only available in singles once (or twice) a year.. The rest of the year you can only get them in 12's (if they are available).

Thanks for clarity Cyber6. Does the the "evil thread" of all the Sailor Japan-only inks list/identify the seasonal ones?

      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
