Hmmmm...I'm not sure which color this might be.

 

I eventually narrowed it down to Night Sapphire. Esther from xFountainPens took pity on me and shipped a new bottle. Woo-hoo!

 

Should arrive in time for me to resume the tour with Blue Man Group.

A little Tokiwa-matsu, from wiping around the bottom edge of the bottle-cap with a wet paper towel before opening it.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Pelikan 4001 Blue Black and Sheaffer Skrip Turquoise.

 

I can attest to the high water-resistance of both :rolleyes:

Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku. I finally decided the heck with it and took it to work and loaded the flexy unidentified desk pen with it and it's *sooooo* gorgeous.

Most of the Lamy Dark Lilac from earlier today (oops, yesterday at this point) came out when I washed my hair; ditto for the vintage Quink Violet. But not all of the vintage Skrip Peacock from early Saturday morning has come off even then. Good thing I like that color....

It's been a longish day at work. I was wondering how you got the Lamy Dark Lilac and the vintage Quink Violet in your hair.

Then I re-thunk it through.

Well, it's now a day later. And I just noticed the callus on the side of my middle finger *stIll* has a bit of Skrip Peacock on it. Or possibly it's a new dose (but just a little shot).

And now it's Tuesday. And there is STILL that same tiny spot of Skrip Peacock on my callus.

That stuff sure is tenacious. Maybe that's why Sheaffer discontinued it.... :huh:

Monteverde Green -- it's a lovely shade, slightly less so on my 2nd & 3rd fingers.

First, Diamine Teal, from cleaning out a P45 cap. It's taken all day and night, it's still soaking but I think it's almost done.

Next was Yama-guri from flushing a Kaweco Sport to work on the feed and then cleaning the cart; maybe a little Macassar from filling the cleaned cart.

Then, a tiny bit of Skrip yellow and orange and substantially more pink, from carefully slicing the ends off the carts with an X-acto to pour them into vials. The yellow and orange came off easily, the pink, well, it's stubborn.

      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
