The Colour is a lovely highly saturated red brown. On paper, in daylight, it looks a bit like rust brown but but darker

 

Ink Behavior

The ink is medium wet and writes smoothly.

 

The Lamy 1,5 Italic showed a bit more feed back but this was mostly on the classic line gerippt paper... Guess this has todo with the paper's surface texture (rippled)

 

Feathering is absent, and showthrough is minimal. Bleedthrough only when forced means... holding the Ink gusher Lamy on the paper for a few seconds.... so No bleedthrough

 

Shading is minimal due due it's high saturation.... but therefore you get a deep and rich red brown

No not waterproof but this ink was not meant to be waterproof.... Drop you royal blue texts in water and the only difference is that the colour turns red rather than blue instead (cool I am a poet)

 

Ink comparison

Mmmm er? I see a similarity but maybe I need new glasses. Because this intrigued me I will do a extensive comparison of these inks soon

 

 

Availability

 

This is one of those inks that is even avaiLable on the moon, simply hijack a passing space craft.... But since you and I most probably will not get to the moon that often at least I don't)...

 

I will give you some adresses here

 

La Couronne Du Comte I guess Dennis and Rik would even travel to the moon to get it for you (just pay them a million or 2 ) Well it is safe to say that they do almost everything to satisfy their customers http://www.lacouronneducomte

 

Bankers have Rothshield Ink lovers have the Goulet Pen Compan. Rachel and Brian carry theALMOST largest soritment of ink on earth an it's near surroundings http://www.gouletpens.com

 

(almost Dear Amberlea Davis carries the largest assoritment in the univers but is not a seller

 

Too Conclude

 

This is a very pleasant ink. I love the colour it is a nice mixture of dark red and brown... Well must love it if as I love the D-A WH2 ink too.

 

It behaves very well and is a pleasure to write with.No it is not waterproof but I gues a little drop it will survive..

 

It does ot have a lot of shade but hte the deep and rich colour compensates that for me. And the ink is still distinticve enough... So that it is obvious immediately that your are writein wiht a Fountain Pen instead of scribble sticks for idiots (biros )

 

Final words love this ink and although it issimilar to- D-A Wilhelm 2, I will buy both inks when the bottles are empty.

Thanks for the review. I have been using Havana Brown and its predecessors for many years. It is just a good, useful, brown ink.
