Thank you very much.

 

I am a three ink noobie American living in Germany, and will be getting German inks until I have a foundation* of inks.

 

This and the other De Atramentis you have reviewed give me an idea what inks to try. I live near a B&M store that has those.

 

In a different store there are the R&K inks. It can not be more than a ten minute walk between them, now I know where R&H inks are carried.

 

 

* Foundations?? Three or four browns? I'd wanted a MB bottle and had never used a brown... or sepia...now I can't wait to rush out and buy four or five browns. (Insert smilies.)

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Pretty, though not entirely what I think I'm looking for, which is a replacement for my discontinued Levenger Smokey. Definitely in the running though.

Currently inked: Twsbi Fine with Diamine Hope Pink, Lamy Vista with Heart of Darkness/Levenger Raven Black mix, Parker Sonnet with Levenger Cocoa.

I like the look of that ink- many thanks for the review. It appears to be darker than I would have expected from a Silver Grey, but is appealing nonetheless.

Very original blackish grey thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
