I've got some of that.

An fpn member sent me some and I've never opened it.

Why is it so expensive?

And how expensive is it?

 

I only have a couple of ml, but I'll be keeping it for "special" although it doesn't look particularly nice does it.

For the Europe Challenge I wanted to represent two of my favorite places - France with a J.Herbin ink, and London, England with the Tower Bridge. Also, I love Cacao du Bresil!

Ha Ha. I did that one for May the Force.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Lots of European inks to chose from (and my stormtrooper Sheaffer for last week, one of many I have missed)

From a former Dutch colony, probably appropriately, a Dutch ink: Akkerman Bekakt Haags...

Normally this color would be indicative of the dominant color in the landscape this time of year, but we're having some rain this week and it's amazing how much green there still is...

I like that color a lot! I love those pretty reddish-browns.

Ik vind die kleur heel leuk! Ik houd van die mooie rode-bruins. [Correct?]

Toen ik het pas had vond ik die rood-bruine inkt heel mooi.

When I'd just got it I thought that reddish brown ink very beautiful.

Maar nu dat ik bekeerd ben tot blauw weet ik het eigenlijk niet meer...

But now that I've been converted to blue I don't really know anymore...

 

So I for one am glad I figured out a way to make the ink flow back into the main part of the bottle, so it won't dry out in the inkwell...

And I may come back to it - I do find color likings to shift.

If I were you, I'd put this ink to week #24!

🤔 I think I may be able to find something else for that one 🙂

      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
