This is a handwritten review of Diamine Chocolate Brown, an ink that is saturated and free flowing, yet still manages to exhibit some shading.

This is currently my favourite brown ink - although I am tempted to try Raw Sienna after seeing your comparison thread...

...I have inky little fingers...

What a clear and nice review. Thanks. It tells me some things I didn't know about it.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Raw sienna isn't very nice, its really light, even in my safari m, which is definatley a wet writer. This looks much nicer

Inked and Using:

Reform 1745 - Noodlers Black

Reform 1745 - Diamine Med. Blue

Reform P120 - Diamine Teal

Lamy Safari - Noodlers Black

Lots of Rotring Art Pens for Calligraphy - Diamine inks

Currently, Private Reserve Chocolat is my "go to" brown. But I think I may just order a bottle of Diamine Chocolate Brown, next time I stock up on ink.

 

Thanks for the nice review.

Nice review!

I recently got a bottle of this and am very glad I did. It's my new favorite brown.

I just added this in to my "I WANT!" list. Great review...thanks, desertsquid.

 

(I agree, looking at the color I can almost taste the chocolate too!)

My first (and only) brown. Very saturated indeed. Wonderful with a M 14k Studio!! I mixed it with some Diamine Orange Blaze to get a curry-ish color.

 

Thank you for your review and for your comparative review of brown inks!!

oh, i thought i had comment on this one, but missed it...

 

it's w/o a doubt my fav brown ink. i don't think there's a brown ink out there so true to the name (which is very odd for diamine, who's always naming inks that don't make sense. like: Umber :hmm1: ) this one is pure dark chocolate brown!!! your scan really captured the color, IMO!

 

thx, desertsquid!

Great shading! Nice brown, but I prefer browns with a little more reddish tint, such as Waterman Absolute Brown, Sailor Jentle Grenade, etc.

Franklin-Christoph, Italix, and Pilot pens are the best!
Iroshizuku, Diamine, and Waterman inks are my favorites!

Apica, Rhodia, and Clairefontaine make great paper!

      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
