With the recent reviews by Lgsoltek of a couple KWZ inks I've been wanting, I checked out Vanness to see if they were back in stock. I noticed the KWZ Honey said new formulation. No information about what was different between old and new KWZ Honey.

 

I have a bottle of the old formulation, so I'm not going to get a new one or even a sample just to see the differences. It may be exactly the same as the old formulation. Or not.

 

Maybe someone knowledgeable could comment to rest the worrying minds of FPNers who love KWZ ink!

hi!

 

The new formulation is only regarding the smell :) Many people noticed that the smell was strange and said they'd like the ink more if it wasn't so smelly. So we figured out finally how to change it. The color is exactly the same as it used to be :)) I told it to Mike Vanness, but I'll let them know once again not to cause any confusions :))

 

Regards, Agnieszka vel Mrs. KWZI

This is a terrific ink with glowing, beautiful shading and halo qualities, and I'm really enjoying it under the old formulation.

Thank you Agnieszka for setting our minds at ease. It's funny, I actually liked the original smell which to me was like honey!

 

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the information. Honey is one I've been wanting to try for a while. When Vanness had a table at DCSS a couple of years ago and I asked about getting it they just laughed at me (it was Sunday morning and it probably had sold out by Friday afternoon...).

I will miss the smell :)

Ditto, I loved that smell.

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

      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
