Well, I did end up changing my mind. So my pick for Week #4 is Diamine Passion Red.

Pen is a Parker Vector with what was advertised as a B nib, and seems to actually be reground (possibly a DIY job by the seller) as a stub). Paper is from a nice pad given out as swag at last fall's Pelikan Hub here in Pittsburgh. I wish I knew who made it for them so I could see about getting more.... It's very nice for writing on (not as slick as something like Tomoe River, but still smooth and also a little heavier weight).

ETA: The scan may have needed to be tweaked a bit -- the ink is, sadly, not quite as saturated as it appears (at least on my laptop screen): it's a bit more pinkish-orange in real life.

Forgot to include another example of the ink in my previous post: this one is my attempt for this week in the QotW -2017 thread. Same pen and paper as the last post.

One of my favorite inks. I managed to get a couple of bottles.

Like a few others here I chose Rouge Hematite. Eventually, my photos will improve... ;) And one day they may all be the right way up! (baby Steps)

Rhodia Ice + Cross Century II, medium nib (skips a bit on Rhodia, too smooth, hence the ugly letters).

This is my favorite red & I intend to never run out of it.

I have only one bottle... But I keep quite a few pens in my regular rotation, so I hope I won't use it up too quickly. I am happy that you like it :)

My scanner doesn't pick up reds correctly. They always come out less bright, and with a blue tinge, than in reality.

 

Not only do I not know a thing about the Lunar New Year in real life, it's been so long since I played World of Warcraft that I hardly know anything about the Lunar Festival in game anymore.

      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
