Hi FPN! I was recently in the Crescent City on vacation and of course, I managed to find the pen shop...

Papier Plume is an amazing little store that sells its own calligraphy and fountain pen inks in sizes that range from $5-$12, so very affordable. I was tempted by their amazing pen collection but somehow managed to exhibit enough self control to leave with only one bottle of ink: "Ivy Green".

Below is my review (I can't draw, please forgive the fleur). I don't have a scanner available to me, but I think I got a pretty clear picture of the paper. Also, your roommate tends to look at you funny when she comes home from work and you're at the kitchen table rubbing Bombay Sapphire and Nail Polish remover on a piece of paper with your index finger, FYI.

Overall, I would really recommend it. You can find their website here and they have an online catalog: https://www.papierplume.com/

Thanks! I have been interested in their inks for a while now, and it's good seeing a review.

 

I'm glad I could help out! :D

I always stop there when I'm in N.O. Nice people, good products.

They are! They were very nice and exceedingly patient with me when I wanted to try different pens/inks! Next time I'm back I'll stop by again.

Thanks for the review. Just don't use the Nail Polish Remover in your Gin and Tonics.

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

      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
