I only saw one review from a looong time ago, so I figured I could add more perspective with this one.

 

This is my favorite ink. As far as being waterproof, the red washes away while the black remains. Fantastic shading and behaves well in fountain pens.

 

While more about the ink can be found at my blog, here, I attached this picture with the short review.

 

As always, feel free to comment!

Beautiful, thanks. I have been thinking about which red to invest in! I love the shading. Good to know about the waterproofness (do you have a water test to post?).

Got the "real world results" here... This was a complete accident. It was snowing and I didn't realize I had my foot on the quiz that I had just received. :rolleyes: My shoe was wet and the ink moved around a bit. Here ya' go!

 

Oh, and I didn't get the above question wrong... my teacher uses "The Tasha Rule", which is usually worded, "choose 5 of the 7 questions below to answer" and if you answer all 7 she just grades the first 5.

Something that I would like to mention is that this ink looks very similar to Waterman's Havana Brown.

I have this one and was thinking that it was "meh" but since you brought up the subject of shading and now I have a flex pen, and since you said something about its being close to Havana Brown....I will be playing with this one a lot in the future, thanks.

How close is this to Black Swan in English Roses?

See my review here.

For starters, I'd say BSIER is brighter red than RB despite the black content.

Nice review of RB, I'd been curious about this one although not being a big red user I've not tried any.

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

Hmmmm, it does when I use my dip pen, but with all my fps Red-Brown looks much more red and rich than Havana does.

Thanks for the great and succinct review - I've been "eyeing" the Red Black for some time, but hesitating to purchase.

 

 

Stop hesitating...you won't regret it.:thumbup:

      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
