English Racing Green and Pilot Jentle Shigure (Purplish)

Together, looks like what a black & blue bruise looks several days later...not sure I could ever intentionally duplicate this.

Pelikan Royal Blue on middle finger (touched the feed) and Lamy Turquoise on thumb (nib slipped). Good thing it's only cheap ink at the moment - I'd hate to waste Iroshizuku or the nicer Noodlers (FPN bottles)/J. Herbin (1760).

Diamine Red Dragon.

Just received it yesterday, and filled one of my Sailor Pro Gears with it.

It is a great color, both on the page and on my hands.

 

Best, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

One fingernail is still sporting Eclat de saphir from yesterday

 

The one next to it is stained with Poussière de lune.

 

If the trend keeps up, I'll have a Herbin rainbow manicure by the end of the week :eureka:

As one friend said here: " ink is blood of the words". If you are doctor (or surgeon), and you like your job, you'll have blood on your hands all the time.

J. Herbin Gris Nuage (Cloud Grey) from a bottle of Brian's that arrived a few hours ago. Loaded a Gray Estie SJ, and the combo is sensational. While I was already dipped, went on to change a nib in a Safari, so there's some Diamene Sepia as well. Hmmm...that's a nice combo too.

Montblanc purple from last night.

Hmmm actually it was 1:28 in the morning

You must have the inverted sleep habit, like a lot of us here. ;)

Right now, my right thumb and palm are painted with the lovely Iroshizuku Tsutsuji (or, Pilot's fancy-fancy hot pink). The ink leaked out from the bottle as I was opening it. I should never do that before the morning coffee. :headsmack: But most of the ink DID get into the black Visconti Rembrandt -- pretty!

It's only an addiction if you try to stop.

Noodler's Borealis Black. I made the bad mistake of putting it in a wet writer - scarcely ever dries except on the most absorbent paper, and even then I get inked-side-of-finger (leftie overwriter - inked fingers are even more normal for me than for most of the rest of you).

Noodler's Nightshade. The funny thing is my nails are painted a greyish purple today so it looks like I did a very bad manicure or my nailpolish bleed all over my fingers.

I don't have a camera or scanner with me to get a good image. Neither my phone camera nor my laptop's webcam are up to the task.

I'll see what I can do tonight when I get home.

 

Ok, here is a quick scan of Oxblood and Red Dragon, alongside a few other inks that can be used as reference to help calibrate.

Noodler's Zhivago with a dab of Herbin Poussiere de Lune. There is also a pale reminder of BSB from last night.

Best,

      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
