I'm currently reviewing some of my favourite Diamine inks. This is Strauss from the Diamine Music Gift set.

  • Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, this ink dries in 10-12 seconds.
  • It flows quite wet compared with some Diamine inks, but lubricates the nib quite well.
  • No start-up problems noticed. No skipping noticed.
  • It is currently available as one of the gift set of 10 x 30ml glass bottles, or in single 30ml plastic refill bottles from Diamine. Neither of these has an inkwell
  • Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
  • Diamine sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.
  • It's reasonably priced.

Another one of those likable Music Gift Set inks. I guess I'll have to give myself the gift. I'm just worried about the one that looks like pea soup—Wagner, I believe.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Enough of us love Wagner that if you hate it, it'll be easy to find a new home for it.

I am hoping to review that one next week. Your description is what made me leave it till last too.

 

However, I'm reliably informed that it's a darker green 'in real life.' Something along similar lines of Salamander, Safari and Racing Green. Maybe we'll be amazed

I'll be looking forward to your review. I'm glad to hear that there is another home for abandoned inks. In the past, I've just given them to my fellow Las Vegan, Amberlea. She takes good care of them, but then she puts parts of them in little plastic vials and sends them all over the world. I'm not sure if this practice constitutes ink-abuse.

      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
