WOW, you seem to get sheen from whatever ink you use. I'm impressed.

 

Um, thanks. No more so than anyone, though. I think the Lamy Coral had been talked about; the Sailor Pink, I can't think anyone here would have bothered looking at, I only did so by chance. But, yeah, maybe the Macassar.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I just got down to my B&M late.....real late. They didn't have it. But they sent me to the new Lamy only store on the Hauptstrasse of Heidelberg. They ran out in May :angry: :doh: :wallbash: .....that was a LE that was way too limited.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Thanks so much to ralfstc for the sample of Lamy Dark Lilac. Omigosh, I love this ink so much. But AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHH I can't seem to find it anywhere!!!!

 

Did some research -- am I correct that this ink was a limited edition and no longer available????

 

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT LAMY MIGHT MAKE SOME MORE, GIVEN HOW POPULAR IT IS?????

 

Debbie, with fingers crossed very hard

One bottle up on ebay, current bid $37.

 

Three sellers have cartridges for sale, price is reasonable but the shipping from England is horribly expensive.

 

Lamy may or may not be planning to re-release this one.

Thanks, Chromantic.

 

I think I will savor the sample I have and hope that Lamy decides to rerelease this ink!

Here's the swab I did in my ink journal with my Lamy Dark Lilac sample, photographed with my macro lens, added the girl digitally.

 

I've heard Diamine Bilberry and De Atramentis Aubergine are close matches, but I do love that gold sheen.

I'm glad I stashed 5 packs of cartridges very early. Haven't dared to touch them so far.

 

Will have to touch them in the future, I guess... or sell them to fund my retirement. :lol:

At a glance, Diamine Majestic Purple is fairly close (lacks DL's slight touch of red-violet). Also exhibits gold sheen.

 

The color of KWZ Gummiberry may be even a bit closer, judging from review photos; don't know if there's sheen.

      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
