Not being funny...but I've just received a sample of J Herbin Lie de The today... Is it a million miles off from this one in terms of colour?

 

 

Not a million miles... but not the same.. Both Rikyu-Cha and Lie De The are very pen/paper dependent. There might be a combination in which they both will look very close. In general, I will have both... they are both gorgeous.

All right, you ink alchemists--how about mixing just a bit of KWZI Hunter Green in some Lie de Thé? In the right proportions it just might work.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

:yikes:

That's like mixing Hennesy XO with Coke.

 

(GREAT idea though . . . will post a photo once mixed :blush: )

There is a Green Rikyu-cha and a Brown one.

 

You must have the green one.

Good news . . . This is looking really promising. 1 part Hunter Green, 1 part Lie de Thé is very nice.

 

Bad news . . . I'm out of Lie de Thé so can't tweak things any further :(

 

Hunter Thé JM is born

^^ Always knew I'd be famous someday . . .

 

Seriously, this does look promising. I have some Lie de Thé, and a bottle of Hunter Green is on the way from Vanness as we speak.

 

I may try 1 part Hunter Green to 2 parts Lie de Thé.

I've just tried 1 Hunter Green with 1 Kiowa Pecan ( I hardly ever use Kiowa Pecan as it takes forever to dry )

 

YUMMY!

 

The result is lovely, much browner and the "split" is still evident. Both are keepers thanks for the inspiration. :)

Cigar and rikyu-cha are both very paper-dependent.

I've tried them on two types of paper, and they almost look like totally different ink:

Brilliant example! To me, that's a major part of what makes them magical :wub:

Weird indeed! I've never seen it so blue as in the second image! What paper is that?

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

Go for it . . . get mixing and posting B)

 

I have the impression you have any ink we name!

 

It's mainly due to Cyber6 that our "drawers of shame" are brimming with inky goodies . . . :unsure:

      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
