Dear Friends,

 

I offer you a review of the Noodler's Prime of the Commons, and intriguing and enchanting blue-black-teal-green.. ink with plenty of character and pleasant qualities.

Not my color.

I've been in two minds too, but when in a wet writer, I have really enjoyed it.

Is this the one that sheens?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

It's one of my very favourites, and I think it looks best written with a good broad nib, Waterman Hemisphere or Laureate, even a Capless Decimo. Also nice with a Parsons Essential with a medium italic. With a fine nib it's a bit nothingy and spiritless.

Hi CAG_1787,

 

if you don't mind waiting for it try Pure Pens in UK. The ink is £12.50, slowest delivery £4.95 or tracked and insured £8.95. A speedy delivery is silly money - around £35. Might be worth a thought - waiting versus not having it at all!

AHAH, I should have read more carefully!

You've encouraged me to give in - after all, I've pined after it for a while, so that totally justifies it, right?

 

Guess I need to go respond to the "impulse purchase" thread...

Hi Amberlea, it sure is and here is the picture:

Thank you for your input - I am further encouraged. Looking forward to trying a Parson's Essential with italic at some point!

Didn't even know this existed. A teal leaning blue/black that is bulletproof, eternal and sheens in a wet nib? This may be worth a sample, at least.

Fountain pens forever and forever a hundred years fountain pens, all day long forever, forever a hundred times, over and over Fountain Pen Network Adventures dot com!

Anyone know offhand if Pure Pens does samples? (Like I really need yet *another* blue-black ink.... :wallbash:)

Hi Ruth, yes they do samples and this is how I initially tried this ink before buying a bottle.

Wow! That would be worth buying, just to have the label to look at every now and again.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
