You know that feeling when you're first introduced to someone and you think "Wow, how lovely are you?". That.

(The merest hint of purple Chopin exhibits isn't apparent on the Mnemosyne Word cards but evident on the Rhodia Uni pad)

We're still on our honeymoon. I'll keep you posted. :)

 

Great rambling :) I'm waiting for Ina-Ho and Stipula ones :)

 

Don't hold your breath. Whilst I find Ina Hos' colour really pleasing and complementary to so many other inks' hues, I'm finding my one and only Iroshizuku to be a feathery nuisance :(

 

Lovely, like a bluer brother of GdP.

 

Its colour has chameleon qualities. I like that, in a Rikyu Cha kind of way.

That's a good one. Fits nicely with the colour itself. One of the first I got before ordering the whole crates of both (composers and flowers)....

Great review. I've not ventured down the greys route yet, but it does look a good performer.

I'm happy to hear people are enjoying the "ramblings" - I'm not methodical enough to make a "proper" review and prefer a ramble or a sketch to put over an ink's qualities.

 

 

NB - ManofKent. Watch out, those greys are a sneaky bunch. Once you allow a couple into your home they'll breed like rabbits :bunny01: :bunny01:

I've tried:

 

Lexington Grey B) :wub: B) (Best all rounder for me)
Diamone Grey :mellow:

Caran d'Ache Infinity Grey -_-

PR Gray Flannel :)

Califolio Gris de Payne :D

Blue Merle (ahh, Blue Merle) :wub:

Kobe #46 Museum Grey :wub:

Diamine Silver Fox :mellow:

Iroshizuku Fuyu Syogun :unsure:

J Herbin Gris Nuage :( (washes only)

Papier Plume Oyster Grey :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

and if money was no object (thank you Jean for the sample) Hieronymous Blue 01 :puddle: - something very special about using this one.

Thank you for this wonderful rambling.

 

I did fall in love with this ink recently too ... after using Vivaldi quite a while now.

Both are great greys with a special touch.

Very nice rambling. Grays are not my thing, but if dark enough could get use. But then I remember I have a lot of blacks. :blush:

      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
