Nice review. I got some Omas cartridges with the Omas Milord i got recently from this board. I must say i like it. It's a nice standard blue.

You say SOME shading. Looks like a LOT of shading on your sample.

 

I am impressed with the Omas black. Based on this review, I'll have to get some blue as well. I like the deeper blue colors rather than the blue/blacks. This ink seems to deliver that.

 

I haven't yet found Omas discounted. I've found Platinum, and Private Reserve for about $3.00-$3.50 if I shop around. I tend to order the ink when I order a pen or something else. That can give me free shipping on the ink.

Private reserve for $3.5? Where? I, like you, buy ink when I buy pens. Or buy ink when I don't think I need a new pen.

Nice review, although some of us are, I'm sure, dying to know what happened to make it so messy. :)

 

In my search for a good blue that doesn't come off the page onto my hands too easily, this one is about at the top.

 

Now if someone could only make a bulletproof blue in this shade, I think my quest would be over.

Probably ink experiments...

Very cool - oops. That's how writing should look.

      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
