#1 blend of vintage Parker Quink Blue and vintage Parker Quink Blue-Black, both with Solv-X, in a WS 3008

#2 blend of Pilot Blue and Pilot Blue-Black in a WS 3003

 

Exploring the fact that these two blends both fade on Kokuyo Campus paper, but not on other papers...

The new Kobe van Gogh Dark Blue in a JIF. At the last minute I inked up the Dark Green in another JIF so I could try them both but when I got to work I discovered I had picked up the wrong JIF and only had the blue. :(

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

Too many, I need to finish some of these pens: Montblanc Irish Green, Sailor Jentle Oku Yama, Pilot Iroshizuku Asa Gao and Fuyu Gake, Lamy Black, and Franklin Cristoph Red.

Had to work again tonight so I brought the Kobe van Gogh Dark Green.

Embarassed to say that I am using Diamine scarlett, although I think my brother has been tampering with it because it looks like a pale mauve.

 

 

Not good. I am supposed to just do power colors.

      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
