Diamine is my favorite brand of ink. I've liked almost every color I've tried (with Jade the only exception). Mediterranean Blue looks like another winner.

Regards,

What a beautiful colour, Carrie - thanks for that! I love the shading, and like you, I've never been that much of a fan of blue inks, but seem to have changed my mind recently.

 

There are a lot of nice blues about, and I think my original gripe with blue was that it was boring... nowadays, it really isn't, is it? :happyberet: .

Hi John, nice to hear someone else has also made their way to liking blue inks. I'm now trying to decide which pen should be permanently loaded with this ink, possibly my Conway Stewart 76 blue herringbone.

Thanks, Carrie.

 

This is one of my favorite Diamine inks (that's getting to be a worn out comment, I think) - just love the spring-like blue and the shading. One of those inks I break out when I need a pick-me-up. Lovely in my Pelikan Grand Place with its overly fat "Fine" nib. :)

:cloud9: Sorry to scare you, but I'm developing a crush on your handwriting. :wub: Gorgeous ink too! Thanks for the review.

      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
