I got Visconti Brown when it was heavily discounted at my local pen/ink store, and I'm glad I did. A great dark brown.

 

Be careful though. I can't think of another ink bottle more prone to tipping over than Visconti's.

Yes they may have designed it backwards. Thanks for pointing that out. I keep the bottle in the plastic house it came with to prevent tippage. Of course that doesn't when filling, the most dangerous time obviously.

I put a fair amount of blu tack at the bottom.

Thanks for the review..Isn't it a shade darker than a MB toffee brown?

 

Best,

I do have a bottle of MB toffee brown, but have used it yet. That's the next brown on the list to fill the "pen that uses brown ink". So I'll check it out soon, and post back here (in a week, so patience please).

I've inked up the same pen with the MB Toffee Brown and started a review. Compared with the writings I've done with the Visconti Brown/sepia, they appear very close to one another. The Visconti does not appear darker in reality (it was an artifact of my low scanning skills). The MB seems to be slightly more shady of the two. I should have the review finished in a couple days. The MB seems to be slightly warmer.

      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
