Haha. Really? I don't know if that's good or bad.

 

Good, definitely good!

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

Strange... I got my sample of BBH today and inked up my pen straight away.

 

Quite dissapointed. Mine is not as dark as yours, not by far. Mine is more turquoise, and looks quite faded. I didn't expect a dark blue, but definetly a darke blue than what I got.

Also the nib creep is terrible on my Lamy AL-star F, but I've heard that it's quite common with the bulletproofs.

I have an older bottle that is a very dark, attractive color. I did notice in a newer sample that I got from a goulet sample bundle that it was much greener and less attractive. Noodler's can be very inconsistent in this aspect.

Livening up this post from the past for current inquirers. Noodler's BBH is now definitely a teal in most of my pens. I tried a bottle in a retail shop and ordered one online. Both are in the green class vs dark blue. It is amazing how different this ink appears coming out of different pens. But it is in the teal direction from them all. Online color samples from Goulet, JetPens, etc do not reflect the current color of this ink. But I love teal and the permanence of several Noodlers.

I just filled from a sample a few days ago, and I've got a moderately dark medium blue -- I can see little, if any, green in it. I like it a lot, but man, looking at other peoples' pictures and hearing other peoples' descriptions, I'm almost inclined to think I got a mislabeled sample. But consistency seems to be a bit of a bugbear for Noodler's, so in general, if I get an ink from Noodler's that I like (whether or not it's what I expected), I just enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

      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
