On Robert Oster's shop website Blue Sea is described as follows: " ust as you imagined it. Good shading qualities."


Well, I'm not sure it's the way I see blue sea but I think it's nice and well behaved ink. It shouldn't cause any troubles in vintage pens and behaves nicely on cheap paper. It's not water resistant.

I will have to check if I have this one. I don't remember it in my stash...

 

As for heat. What heat? It's a balmy 23 C in Toronto at the moment. Even my cats approve of 23 C (which is remarkable because they approve of very little).

It was 3 C here this morning. Pleasantly brisk...

Ok, but by Sydney terms, 37 ~ 40 C is warmish. Hot is 45+. You need to book another trip over here for Jan-Feb. to reset your internal thermostats...

I have both. They are different hues plus Blue Sea (not Sea Blue) is much darker. The shading is really beautiful - but not quite as gorgeous as Deep Sea.

I remember a few summers ago I was in Montreal. And it went up to 40+C! I thought Canada was supposed to be COLD!

relax, dcwaites is not on the harbour or the beach where it is usually much cooler for tourists, or you can head for the surrounding hills to enjoy the balmy air. Put it in your diary. :D

I have this ink, my first Robert Oster's ink and I love it. Beautiful color and great shading. I think this could be my favorite blue ink....

I want more Oster's inks! :)

And this is not DEEP SEA BLUE, right?

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

You are correct. I have the Deep Sea blue, and I want the Sea Blue.

How many times can you say "She saw Sea Blue too at the Sea Shore" quickly without spraining your tongue?

Try Sea Blue Deep Sea for a while and you will have invented Bleep Sea.

 

ETA, perhaps Robert can invent a coilour for that...

      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
    • adamselene
      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
