Just got this in mail today along with the other 7 inks.

 

Inked up pilot custom 823 F nib with this. Getting shading on normal copy paper but no sheen(not too surprised). Tomoe River needed for sheen?

Not necessarily TR, but definitely less absorbent papers. For me, it sheens on Life Noble, Maruman Mnemosyne, and Apica. Those are written with a pretty wet Sailor B, though, so your experience may vary with a F...

Thanks. :)

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any of those.

Gotta wait for TR.

 

823 is a fairly wet writer and if TR doesn't absorb ink, there should be some sheen.

You should definitely get some sheen on TR!

Dhruv are you waiting for TR to arrive or do you not have any? If you send me your address I'd be happy to mail you a sheet or two.

Hi fireant,

 

Thank you for your offer. I have ordered 4000 sheets of tomoe River paper but the shipping is a real killer. The shipping costs more than the paper so I am thinking of using cheaper shipping which may take 1-2 months to get here.

So technically I don't have any for the next 2 months.

PM me your address and I will send you a few sheets. :)

 

ETA they will be folded, since I will be putting them into an airmail envelope.

Nice review. I just want to bump this thread so that I can shout from the hilltops:

 

I LOVE THIS INK!!!!

 

I never thought I would be so crazy about a pinkish/maroon color, but the way this shades... it's so damn beautiful and just pops off the page. It has swiftly risen to "always inked" status.

Thanks for the review.

I have a sample of this ink but haven't tried it yet. Seems as if I have something to look forward to....

      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
