Haha we are really inky twins! My New Year resolution is also 2 Sailor inks per month and I've already spent the quota for June! I'm waiting for an Onago-iro Honey (which I hope can make a nice substitute for Apricot which I've always wanted to own but never had the chance!) Apart from that I think I'm on hiatus for the moment. I've looked at some Kobe samples but they haven't made great impressions on me yet. What other Kobe inks do you own? Maybe I'll like them as well :D

Also I don't think you'll be disappointed with Entoloma virescens. It's quite a nice colour!

Haha I love that we have the same ink addiction pattern! :) The Onago Iro Honey looked amazing in Saskia's writing samples. I don't have too many Kobes yet; I have #7, #13, #14, and #37. The #7 is one of my favorite Sailors; it's got a generous flow, feels smooth, has loads of sheen but no nib dry out and has been really easy to clean. I def need to post a review of it when my class schedule quiets down. #14 I love when used in a wet pen where it becomes one of my all-time favorite blues. #13 I like a lot and has great shading but is a color I don't use too often . And #37 I don't like so much... :P I'm happy to hear you like Entoloma Virescens; I'm even more excited to try it now!

I'm considering this limited purple. The box is very attractive.

Huh? ... Yama-Guri is brown... :huh:

 

 

 

 

Edit: Ooops... just realized you meant Cigar and not Sailor Monet above.

This is one that I don't think I will be getting, so I would love to see a review if you get one!

I'm still saying I may have been really partially responsible for this "mess" :3

If you are responsible for us discovering these great inks then I THANK YOU!

 

First I received four of the Bung Box inks, then Cigar & just HAD to order two more Bung Boxes when I saw Dandyism & Ink of the Witch were available at Vanness.

 

So thank you for your part to make us aware of these inks!

Finally, a bottle is on the way to me so I can now ditch all my attempts at mixing this remarkably complex ink.

Sadly it was the last bottle and my source swore me to secrecy.

Sorry.

 

(Happy to send you a sample when it arrives. PM me details)

Saves me the trouble of asking for your source. :P

 

Genuinely sorry.

 

I asked

 

"Thanks so much. You are a star.

Would you like me to publicise this to friends on FPN? I know a few are in love with this ink"

But was asked not to.

:(

You asked, on our behalf, if you could note the source ( you were certainly not obligated to ask)--for that, I'm grateful. :notworthy1:

Enjoy the bottle and love it a little extra (if possible) for those of us still left pining still.

Is it possible that your source might be the same as my source? Patiently waiting. B)

No. You're source is a different source, but I've a feeling they might be getting it from my source. :unsure:

      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
