Azure 5 - Kwzi


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

As some of you may know Poland is one of biggest exporters of cosmetics, furniture and fruits. But we also have inks. Or, to be more precise, one ink maker - KWZI. Konrad offers handmade inks in more than sixty colors. You can check his website here.



Azure 5 is one of five azure inks in KWZ line. It's a favourite of mine. The ink feels very smooth in both finer and broader nibs, it offers great lubracition and overall performance is rather satisfying. The thing that can be disturbing to some people is strong vanilla odour. Actually when you unpost the pen, sit straight and write you can still feel it even though the nib si more than 50 cm from your nose.



I haven't experienced any problems with this one.




First let's look at the bottle.

Wow -- you're getting some nice sheen there. (Great, swell, another one goes on the short list -- which is getting progressively longer.... I should just leave that file open on my desktop when I log into FPN.)

Thanks of the review. And not. I should not be looking at ink reviews when the temperatures are in the teens and the wind chills are in single digits....

Well, it really is cool color. I rarely use blue but when I do I fill pens with J. Herbib Eclat de Saphire, KWZI Azure 5 or Robert Oster Blue Night (for blue/black). I guess I don't really need other blue inks although I'm always eager to try new things and discover some unknown gems :) These three are fine and I tend to come back to them from time to time.

Those are some pretty sheens. Thank you for the wonderful review.

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
