I have been wanting to get myself a brown ink to use with my Pilot Custom 823 Amber. I havent used ether of these inks and I'm open to opinions on which I should get. If anyone has both which do you prefer and if you had pictures of them next to each other that would be great!

MB will be cheaper and easier to get. The bottle is great. The Akkerman bottle is more of a looker though.

 

MB ink is well behaved and safe in pens from my experience. I have not tried the Akkerman ink.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I have tried both and preferred the MB. Both were well behaved inks, in my experience. You can get samples of both from Anderson Pens.

I've not seen that Akkerman ink but the Toffee was one I used in my amber 823. Actually, now I have Noodler's #41 Brown in it and they seem to be OK together.

      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
