You'll notice a bit of color variation from the 540 to the other pens - it's from the pressure I was using. -_-

I would have done more, but at the time, I just had this one little piece.

Excellent review, Julia! Robert Oster has been quite prolific lately. I'd deplete my funds pretty rapidly if I ordered all the ones I like in his Signature line.

Nicely presented review, thank you Julia. I currently have this ink in my pen, and am really enjoying it. It's a lovely green colour, with a freshness that really suits springtime (which is the current season in my part of the world).

Thanks. I'm so excited about the American Gods series that I've been rereading a lot of Neil Gaiman's work.

It was springtime here (in Texas) until today when it started snowing! Now I have to use the ink as a fond memory of nice of weather. Sigh...

Cucumber! I've always had a strange craving for cucumber-colored ink and here it is. Happy sigh.

Thanks for the review. I had been wondering what this one was like. It's nice, but I think it's a little light a color for me. (My wallet thanks you too, BTW....)

Congratulations on a beautiful review! I like this color.

Excellent review! I tried a sample of this and found it very satisfying. Of inks in this color range, however, I prefer Pilot Iro. Chiku-rin.

I'm sure a lot of people will love this one,, but simply looking at that color makes me want to sneeze. It's like my worst hay fever nightmare.

      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
